Help us to rebuild 🤗
I'm reaching out to my community with a heavy ❤️. My small business, Brown Sugar Baking Company, which has been a labor of love for over 15 years here in Seattle, was the victim of a devastating robbery on Saturday Jan 31st. We did not find out until Tues Feb 3rd.
From 3:42AM until 9:16AM, the thieves took, all of my essential equipment, event & pop-up supplies, utility carts and valuable inventory, leaving me with significant losses and the emotional trauma of this violation.
I have also lost the ability to provide short term leasing in the space for other micro-businesses.
Running this business is my passion, and this incident has completely derailed my ability to operate and serve the community I love.
My #1 supporter started a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of replacing the stolen items, repairing the damage, and getting back on track, that is not covered by my insurance. The funds raised will be used specifically for:
• Replacing essential equipment/inventory
• Replacing and adding additional security equipment and entry points breached during the break-in
•Covering immediate operating expenses while we recover
It is difficult for me to ask for help, but any contribution, big or small, will make a profound difference in helping me rebuild my livelihood.
If you are unable to donate financially, please consider sharing this post with your network. Spreading the word is just as valuable!

Thank you from all of my heart for your kindness l, support, and for being an amazing community. Together, we can bring back Brown Sugar Baking Company stronger.
