Hello all, on 09/17/2025, a massive fire broke out in a large warehouse building located at 481 Van Brunt St., Brooklyn, NY.

My brother-in-law Gabe Cruz, as well as many other artists and hardworking small businesses, operate out of this building to support their families. Gabe recently ventured out on his own and started his own business, Cruz Works, specializing in model making, small-scale fabrication, and design direction. Gabe made his living out of this space and lost everything he relied on to run his small business.

If you know Gabe, you know he would literally take the shirt off his back for another in need. Right now, he could use a little support to help get things back up to speed, hopefully bigger and better than ever.

Thank you for any and all support during this rebuild process; it will go a long way for him and his family.
