Hi, friends. This is Jay aka Bobby Pudrido. I have consent from a dear friend of mine and queer community member to fundraise for them as they go through some difficult times.

Mars is a brown trans masc nonbinary baddie from Austin Texas who moved to Oakland a few years ago. If you know Mars, you know they’d do anything for their people and deserve the same support back.

Back in November, Mars got laid off of 1 out of the their 3 jobs the Tuesday before they came home for thanksgiving. They were not given any warning and found out when they showed up for their shift and arrived to closed doors. Mars is now relying on only one source of income.

On top of that - their car recently caught fire on New Years just a few months after they paid it off. This was the same weekend they were moving into a new space.

When it rains, it pours y’all, and we want Mars to know they got a big ass umbrella in their community.

Our goal is to raise enough to allow Mars to have a reasonable car payment they can afford.

Any donations will go directly to Mars for help with recent bills and to put toward a down payment on a car. Please donate and share if you can.

-Jay aka Bobby
