"A comfort-food cafe in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood run by Evelyn Shelton, this small business was largely self-built through personal savings and informal loans and now faces acute financial strain. Shelton regularly delivers meals to nearby ER staff at her own expense, has encouraged local officials to enlist neighborhood restaurants to feed the food insecure and support a large convention-center field hospital, and describes the operation as “hanging on by a thin thread” as she struggles to sustain employees and community service during the pandemic." - Angela Burke
