<div>Hi Folx, my name is Brian Martinez, and I’m the owner of a Latino, gay-owned Mexican-fusion restaurant in Astoria, Queens.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as a restaurant has grown into something much bigger — a community home. A place where neighbors gather, performers shine, local artists are celebrated, and everyone is welcomed exactly as they are.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, we’ve proudly opened our doors not just to serve food, but to build connection, inclusion, and joy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>--------------------------------------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fresco's is More Than a Restaurant — A Community Hub
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our space has hosted:
</div>
<div>•	Community fundraisers and nonprofit events
</div>
<div>•	Book clubs, pop-up markets, and civic meetups
</div>
<div>•	Drag performances, queer-affirming events, and cultural celebrations
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve raised funds and awareness for organizations like NYC AIDS Walk, Broadway Cares, and other vital causes. During the pandemic, we created Drag-Livery to keep our performers working and spirits high. We also donated hundreds of meals to healthcare workers, Essentials workers and hospitality staff when they needed it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Giving back has always been part of who we are.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Asking for Help Now
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many small businesses, the last few years have been incredibly hard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rising costs, slower foot traffic, and a tough winter have made it difficult to keep up with basic operating expenses. We’ve done everything we can to protect our staff, support our performers, and keep this space alive — but we’ve reached a point where we can’t do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>----------------------------------------------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Support Helps
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>•	Catching up on operating expenses like Rent and Insurance
</div>
<div>•	Paying overdue utilities - Con Ed is killing us ALL!!
</div>
<div>•	Covering required repairs under our lease
</div>
<div>•	Keeping staff and performers paid &amp; fed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support helps preserve a space that is safe, inclusive, and deeply rooted in the Astoria and NYC queer community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>------------------------------------------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Donation Makes a Difference
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No amount is too small. Whether you donate, share this fundraiser, or simply send words of encouragement — you are helping keep this community alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in us, standing with small businesses, and supporting spaces that lead with love and inclusion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Brian Martinez
</div>
