Father and Son Surprise Woman With New Farm Stand After Thieves Steal Hers on Opening Day

A father and son in Rhode Island surprise a woman with a new farm stand after thieves steal hers on opening day. It’s so tragic, but this son and dad saw it as an opportunity to bring hope back to a woman who wanted to pursue her dream of baking. The woman and her family were so blessed by this kindness from two strangers. 

Katrinia Blancaflor is a retired pastry chef. But after leaving the restaurant scene to become a mother of two, she found she wasn’t ready to put down the rolling pin. So after months of asking her husband to make her a small stand to put at the end of her driveway to sell baked goods, he finally did. It took him months to finish. 

They rolled it out to the end of their driveway and went to bed, ready to fill it with breads and sweets in the morning. But when Katrina’s husband looked out at their yard, he didn’t see the stand anywhere. 

"He came in. I was still laying in bed. He's like, 'The stand is gone.' I jumped out of bed. I was like, 'What? Are you sure?" Katrina said. "I mostly felt bad that he worked so hard on it and we didn't even get to use it."

Father and Son Save the Day

Katrina asked neighbors on social media if they saw anything. One neighbor showed security footage of an SUV driving away with it at 2 am. 

Katrina and her family were so sad. But then a father and son noticed and made a huge effort to surprise her with a new one. John and Casey Adams own a construction business, and when they saw what happened, they wanted to help her. They got her husband’s original blueprints and surprised her. She and her family were overwhelmed with happiness. And she can’t wait to start baking again.
