Makeda’s has since begun a GoFundMe account, in order to generate more money for the company, as they are currently closed. Their store has since been boarded up, as supporters have been using the store, as a memorial, for now.

On Makeda’s GoFundMe, the donations continue to roll in by the minute, as they are currently at over $72,000. This comes as the company is letting workers take as much time off as they need, to emotionally recuperate. They also plan to continue to compensate them, during this time.

“In the aftermath, the store that was just repaired after burglaries will now have to begin again. Young Dolph was helping them attract more customers by frequently visiting and posting to help increase revenue. Unfortunately, this black owned business is now being forced to repair once more while hurting. They will also be unable to pay their staff or replace their revenue that this main store generates. The staff will also need security as there has been an additional shooting that occurred on the following day steps away their bakery. They will also need grief counseling to process witnessing the murder of someone they considered family.  Also, due to the fact that this tragedy was not fire, flood or natural disaster, their insurance claim was denied.”
