Several local business people and residents volunteered to give a much-needed facelift to United Deli, located at 212 Tuscaloosa Road, Thursday through Sunday.

Within an hour after it was posted Tuesday afternoon, it had raised $700. By 5 p.m. that day, it was 10 times that. By press time Wednesday, a GoFundMe for Adelnagi “John” Musa had surpassed $20,500 in donations and brought an outpouring of goodwill that surprised the affable owner of United Deli in East Columbus.
