History-Making Olympian Uses Prize Money To Buy Her Mom A Food Truck ❤️❤️❤️
“I wanted to give my mom $30,000 so she can get a food truck, ‘cause it’s her dream,” she said in a post-Gold medal press conference, adding that she’d made the promise five years ago. “She’s gonna have her little cooking business. She can cook really, really, really well. Barbecue!”
Mensah-Stock said that her mom had previously been working with a small portable grill to make and sell sandwiches — a set up she admitted was “not exactly the best legal method.” Now, though, her mom will be able to go legit, and they’ve already got a name for the food truck picked out: The Lady Bug!
Long before announcing her amazing gift, Mensah-Stock made it clear that her mom has been her rock. “She has been the strongest woman that I have ever known in my life. I’ve been so blessed to have her as a mother. Through hard times and good times she has been by my side and I thank God she has been in my life,” she wrote in a sweet Mother’s Day post.
Despite their obvious close bond, Mensah-Stock herself might not be her mom’s best customer, since she says she is now mostly a pescatarian. But loyal customer or not, she’ll clearly be rooting hard for her mother to succeed in the new venture.
