3 days, 10,000 doughnuts. Community rallies around Palatine bakery that asked for help online: ‘We knew people liked us, but I had no idea.’

Tori Gammeri, a librarian from Lake Zurich, made the 40-minute round trip Sunday to the store, an old high school haunt, after she saw the posts. The bakery was out of her favorite red velvet doughnuts, but she bought a dozen others, including some jelly-filled doughnuts for her 11-year-old daughter.
