Her dad's restaurant was struggling after Harvey. Jackie's viral tweet changed that.

This teen helped save her parents' cafe with a viral tweet.

At La Casa Bakery and Cafe on Hogan Street in Houston, a baker named Trinidad makes a living rolling homemade Pan Dulce. He and his family own the restaurant, selling their homemade Mexican treats.

But then Hurricane Harvey hit, and business slowed down. There was a chance the family might have to close down their bakery.

So Trinidad's teenage daughter, Jackie, turned to Twitter-- something her 70-year-old dad had never even heard of.

"SPRED THE WORD," she captioned a video of her father rolling dough.

"1 RT COULD BRING IN A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER!"

The community heard Jackie's plea, retweeting the post over 67,000 times.

Since then, Jackie told Daily Blast Live, business has picked up and remained steady. Jackie made Twitter and Instagram accounts for La Casa and manages them for her parents.

"I wasn't expecting it to stay so steady, but surprisingly people keep coming back," Jackie said.

"It's wonderful."

She says she's planning on helping her parents add new menu items to keep bringing in customers.
