**UPDATE 12-17-2025**

With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved Debbie passed away on Tuesday, December 17th. We are grateful for the love and support that have surrounded our family.

The original purpose of this page remains. Our goal is to continue to support Josh and the boys. All funds will be used to ensure they have the resources needed while they navigate through this incredibly difficult time.

Here is a link to more details about the upcoming service and about her incredible life: https://everloved.com/life-of/deborah-westover/

Bake-N-Jam is a small, family-run microbakery based in Southwest Atlanta that is built on hard work, creativity, and a lot of heart. For years, Josh has poured himself into crafting artisanal breads, pastries, and jam that many in the community look forward to every week. And every fall and holiday season many look forward to his pies and treats. His wife, Debbie, has been a steady partner behind the scenes, helping with the business while also caring for their two young sons.

Their world shifted when Debbie was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma this past year. In October her cancer progressed, requiring multiple hospitalizations and surgeries. These recent changes have brought a difficult and uncertain road that requires ongoing treatments, appointments, and careful daily support.

The fall and holiday months are the most important season for Bake-N-Jam. These months normally sustain the business for much of the year. With Debbie unable to help and Josh stretched thin, the family is facing a real financial strain. They want to keep the business afloat, maintain stability for their children, and focus as much time as possible on Debbie’s care.

We created this GoFundMe to help ease that pressure. Every donation will support their family’s basic needs, cover gaps created by reduced business capacity, and allow them to prioritize Debbie’s health without the fear of losing the business they built together.

This family has shown tremendous strength and grace through an incredibly hard time. If you are able to give, your support will make a meaningful difference for them. If you cannot donate, sharing the campaign also helps more than you might imagine.

Thank you for standing with the Westovers during this season.
