Hi everyone - my name is Ray Minarcik and I run the Star Trek: Auctions, Props, and Wardrobe Facebook group. I'm looking to raise money for one of my close friends, Brett Jones, who is a well-known prop fabricator for many years and a passionate Star Trek collector. You may know the name "FedSur" for some great replicas back in the day, and that was Brett. Like so many others, Brett and his family lost their home in Altadena from the Eaton Fire, with not a single item salvageable.

His family thankfully has a roof over their heads, but all of Brett's tools, equipment, and supplies are gone. Many of these are very specialized and expensive, and without them, he can't do what he does best: fabricate and repair iconic props. This fire has deeply affected his livelihood in an already tough time in the industry, and I think we all can relate that a person's craft gives them a sense of purpose.

I'm hoping to raise as much as possible on his behalf to help him reacquire what he lost, so please consider donating and/or sharing. Thank you so much.
