FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 The Fresno food truck community is coming together to support one of its own as she nears the end of battle with cancer. <\/p>\n
Lida Nguyen, co-owner of “Where’s The Food?” food truck, was diagnosed with cancer in 2023.<\/p>\n
“They haven’t made a big deal about it,” Mike Osegueda, president of Fresno Street Eats, said. “This is the first time that it’s probably even been talked about publicly and they’ve just reached a point where they need some help.”<\/p>\n
She has continued to work alongside her husband while undergoing treatment, all while raising their three daughters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was times where I know she was having doctor’s appointments and chemo and I see her on the food truck that next weekend,\u201d Osegueda said. <\/p>\n
Osegueda said the latest update he received indicated the family is preparing their goodbyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cKudos to Lida, she fought,” Osegueda said.<\/p>\n
Osegueda has organized a donation platform to assist the family, with the food truck community leading the charge. <\/p>\n
Wilson Tadros, co-woner of Willy\u2019s Philly\u2019s on Wheels, said the family is always kind to the other food truck owners. <\/p>\n
“When you’re in this industry you all become one big family.” Tadros said. “This is a time where we’re gonna try to make it a little bit easier.”<\/p>\n
Donations are being collected through a GoFundMe page, with every contribution making a significant impact. <\/p>\n
