With one heartbreaking tweet, daughter brings hundreds to her father’s taco truck

It’s incredibly hard to watch anyone you care about struggle with something that used to bring them joy.

Interests and businesses alike can suddenly fall into a downward spiral, and it’s not often that we can help our friends and family recover these things.

However, the story of this young daughter and her close relationship to her struggling father does not have a traditional ending.

Giselle Aviles is a 21-year-old Texas native who values the hard work her father has put into his business. Elias, her father, has been in the food industry for years, and even ran a restaurant for years with other members of the family.

The Aviles family lost their brick and mortar restaurant in 2008 when the economy crashed, but Elias chose to start a Mexican street taco truck and keep preserving. For a time, the truck did quite well.

Giselle’s concern came more recently as conversations with her hardworking father revealed that his truck was not doing as well. When checking in with him, he would often report slow days of only $20-60 a day.

However, it was one particular day that led to the tweet that changed everything. On that day, according to the NY Post, Elias returned after a full, lengthy day of work with only $6 to show for it.

“At that moment, when he told me $6, I said ‘nothing hurts,’” Giselle recalled.

She took to Twitter to post a plea for her father online, writing:

“Hey Twitter!! I wouldn’t normally do this, but my dad’s taco truck business is struggling, he only sold $6 today! If you could retweet, I would appreciate you so much!!”
