Kim Pena, sister of Jan Lind- strom and a former employee, created a GoFundMe account Wednesday called “Raising the Dough.” Pena said an infection in John Lindstrom’s left foot re- sulted in his leg being amputat- ed below the knee. She said he is expected home today.

Even Jan sounds really upbeat and positive about their future.” Local author Muriel Jensen and city special projects man- ager Rosemary Johnson started a fundraising account at Wells Fargo in downtown Astoria called “Raising the Dough for Danish Maid” and have been recruiting business owners to GRQDWHDSRUWLRQRIWKHLUSUR¿WV on a given day. They have also organized a walkathon starting at 10 a.m. Oct. 24 at the Maritime Memo- rial. The procession will walk east to the Barbey Maritime Center, where a silent auction at noon has already gathered at least $2,000 in donations from local businesses. Jensen said she has a con- nection to the family, working at the Danish Maid in the 1970s after moving to Astoria. John Lindstrom started working at the bakery in 1974, purchasing it with Jan in 1986. John Lindstrom baked six days a week and cleaned on Sundays, Jensen said. “We joke WKDW LW¶V SUREDEO\ WKH ¿UVW UHVW he’s had.” Many merchants bought or- ders from Danish Maid. “They make our bread for us for our sandwiches, and then we get their cherry fritters,” said Jim Defeo, co-owner of Astoria Cof- feehouse and Bistro, which will donate a quarter of its gross prof- its Oct. 17 to the Lindstroms.
