Donors Give $200K to Vandalized Ferguson Bakery

The owner of a bakery in Ferguson, Missouri, said she is in awe of the support she received after rioters on Monday smashed the windows and damaged some kitchen equipment in her small shop. Natalie DuBose, a 32-year-old mother of two, owns Natalie's Cake's & More which opened in early June after DuBose had finally saved enough to open the store. "It was an investment all around. I always had to work at least two jobs. I never just had just one job because my dream was always to have my own bakery," DuBose told NBC News Wednesday. A friend suggested she start an online campaign to raise repair funds for her bakery. By late Wednesday, the GoFundMe campaign raised nearly $200,000.
