Lady from Ferguson whose bakery was vandalized in the Ferguson riots... [View all]

...got over $178,000 in donations in one day to rebuild her bakery. So amazing!

Heartwarming on this Thanksgiving eve.

TYY

On edit: I changed he headline to read vandalized since I'm not sure whether her place was one of the ones burned. It was definitely vandalized, windows broken and I believe it was looted. Regardless, I am so happy for her that she has received the love that she has. Here's a link to the donation page, which is almost at $200,000 now: http://www.gofundme.com/NataliesCakesnMore
