citymusings:redbloodedamerica:libertymaniacs:Here’s a great story from Ferguson - which is something you haven’t heard too often lately. Local bakery Natalie’s Cakes & More was smashed by knuckleheads that weren’t able to focus their anger and disapproval in a more creative fashion. Last night I asked friends if they had seen any funds started for local businesses damaged by the rioting and looting. They pointed me to Natalie’s - and what did I see? To date over 4,000 people donating over $130K, that’s what. How great is that? People voluntarily helping clean up the mess the Ferguson government and the knuckleheads trashing the placed made. If you want to make a donation, you can do so here: http://www.gofundme.com/NataliesCakesnMore Also, if you see other funds started for local businesses in the Ferguson area, post them if you can!This is the best story I’ve heard from Ferguson yet. Thanks peonyandbee for the link.Natalie’s Cakes & More has hit over a quarter of a million dollars! That’s over twelve times the requested amount. I’m amazed by people’s generosity! While I’m sure Natalie is completely deserving of it, there are some other businesses that could also use our assistance. I don’t know the owners, so I can’t vouch for their integrity, but here are a few I noted on GoFundMe:Cathy’s Kitchen and J&C BBQ need to be repaired.Deandre Joshua’s mother needs help paying for the funeral. I know she’s not a business, but I trust that she is no less deserving of our help.Juanita’s Fashion Boutique:HealSTL:There are also Ferguson Market & Liquor, Solo Insurance, and Beauty World. There may be more in the days to come. Click on the Location or Emergencies sections in the upper right hand corner to see what other projects in the area or of the same kind are in need of funding.
