Hey Guys,

I recently found out about the condition of baby Kelli' Rae and thought it might be helpful to let you guys know too. Please go and check out her gofundme page http://www.gofundme.com/pray-for-Kelli-Rae and contribute whatever you can even if it is just a prayer.

She is terrible victim of child abuse and SBS ( shaken baby syndrome). She suffered 95% damage to her brain and may never live a normal life as a child or an adult. The family is looking for assistance with medical expenses and future care that she will need! Please do whatever you can to assist!!! XOXO

It IS a small world after all !

I've finally stopped baking and am now having holiday dinner with my parents, relatives, daughter, son, and friends.

Thank you to actresses Patricia Heaton and Brandi Glanville for supporting me! I must have missed thousands of other tweets, and I'm so sorry I can't mention them all. The sweet lady who offered money from her social security check brought me to tears. The prayers.

I'm trying to check into social media and facebook to respond. But Twitter moves soooo fast.

Thank you to EVERYONE for the kind words, prayers, and emotional support.

I am so humbly blessed!

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.

It was suggested that I start a Gofundme account by a new friend. She created it and here it is. I do need help to rebuild and create a website, so any donations would be a huge assistance.

I'm not sure where to find the money to repair my little bakery. But, even if you just stopped by to say hello. Thank You !!!!

I've never felt such love.

Thank You !!!

Natalie
