A mother from Galva, Illinois, started a bakery that sells fresh-baked breads and delicious treats so that her son with special needs can be employed once he graduates.

Margaret Cortes, a mom of four boys, had worked with the health care department for years. However, at the beginning of January 2018, her world suddenly turned upside down. “I struggled with not being employed and was falling into a dark space,” she wrote on the bakery’s Facebook page.
