Please help us raise funds for our dear friend and chosen family Empress. Last week Empress’s truck was broken into. Not only were all of her gardening tools stolen, her ignition was damaged and catalytic converter was stolen. She depends on her vehicle to get to and from work, and her tools to do her gardening work.

Empress an important and beloved figure in our North Oakland community. She is a mother and grandmother, and friend to many. Through her work as a caregiver, gardener, and chef Empress brings love, joy, and compassion to the world around her. Please consider a small donation to our fund to help her. ❤️

(This campaign is being directed by, me, Nick Yapor-Cox of Nick’s Pizza and Bakery. Amongst her other jobs and roles in our community, Empress is caregiver for my mother, as well as gardener at my shop)
