Oakland donut shop feels love from community after devastating robbery

OWNER ROBBED OF HER CASH REGISTER IN OAKLAND IS FEELING THE LOVE. SILVANA CHAN HAS OWNED DICK'S DONUTS IN OAKLAND FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THIS PAST THURSDAY SHE SAYS A MAN CAME INTO HER SHOP AND ROBBED THEM OF THEIR CASH REGISTER WITH $1,400 INSIDE. SILVANA WHO HAS MILLIONS OF VIEWS ON TIKTOK FOR POSTING CAMBODIAN RECIPE VIDEOS, SHARED THE NEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THE COMMUNITY CAME OUT IN A BIG WAY, NOT ONLY RAISING MORE THAN $4,000 IN A GO FUND ME, BUT BUYING OUT HER ENTIRE INVENTORY FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW. TODAY, OAKLAND FIREFIGHTERS EVEN STOPPED IN TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT AS WELL. SILVANA IS BEYOND GRATEFUL AND HAS THIS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. >> I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THE FIREFIGHTER WENT OVER THERE LIKE A WHOLE CREW. PEOPLE AROUND UH- THE WORLD THAT MESSAGED ME, THEY CONCERNED ABOUT ME AND THEY GIVE ME A SUPPORTIVE ENERGY. JUST TO KEEP ME GOING ON. I HOPE THAT MAYOR OF OAKLAND STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT OAKLAND AND MAKE OAKLAND A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY AND FOR OUR KIDS, OUR GRANDKIDS IN THE FUTURE TO ENJOY BEAUTIFUL OAKLAND. >> SHE IS SO SWEET. DICK'S BY THE WAY, ISN'T THE ONLY DONUT SHOP TARGETED BY THIEVES. WE'VE COVERED FOUR ROBBERIES AT COLONIAL DONUTS IN THE LAKESHORE DISTRICT OVER THE PAST YEAR. OPD TELLS ME AN OFFICER
