On Saturday, Oct. 7, an electrical fire ripped through El Bohio Cafe & Restaurant in Pleasantville.

Nicole Marie Brouwer Melo of Egg Harbor Township called the eatery "a local favorite" on a GoFundMe page for her cousins who own the restaurant.

"From feeding our local troops, hospitals and homeless, El Bohio has done it all," Nicole wrote.

The fire "completely destroyed 10 years of hard work," she said.
