Rebuild Queen's Royal Touch by MrsQueen TheIrresistibleone Greene - GoFundMe

ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE FERGUSON RIOTS NEEDS OUR HELP (PASS THIS ALONG TOO):

My name is “Queen” K. Barnes-Greene, I am or was the owner of “Queen's Royal Touch Massasge, Barber & Beauty” on 1451 Chambers Road at the corner of West Florissant. 

 My two small businesses were burned in the riots. The windows were kicked in, the roof was damaged, the ceiling has fallen, electrical wires are burned and there is smoke and water damage everywhere. 

Everything was damaged or destroyed in a matter of seconds.

I started my businesses after I left teaching in 2012 and used my retirement to open up this business. I wanted to show my family that having your own business was attainable. It took a lot of hard work, sweat and tears. 

 It's been truly a struggle and I had to make a lot of sacrifices but it was all worth it. 

This tragedy has broken my heart, to watch all the sacrifices go up in smoke brought tears to my eyes. 

I am trying to not be angry or sad but to forgive, stay positive, and trust God in the midst of it all no matter what it looks like or how others treat us.

HELP FERGUSON RIOT VICTIM: Natalie's Cakes and More Fund by Natalie Lcdubose - GoFundMe

Hello, I'm Natalie Dubose of Ferguson, Missouri. I'm a small business owner with a cake shop and a bakery dream.

First, I would thank everyone for their warm wishes, empathy, and support during this crazy difficult time.

I would love to write more, and will try soon, but my business is so behind right now. 

My shop, which had it's grand opening this summer was vandalized in the riots.

My main windows were smashed and bakery damaged. I'm beside myself, but with the holidays, can't stop working.

I'm very busy cleaning and trying to repair my business. I'm also trying to catchup on baking cakes for Thanksgiving!

I promise to update this later. I'm truly mixing batter right now. I began baking and selling cakes at local flea markets, slowly saving money to start my small business.

I LOVE TO BAKE !!!

It was my dream and I'm working hard to accomplish that dream.

The outpouring of support on Twitter, Facebook, and in the media has been amazing. I was in tears. (CONTINUED)
