Support Mantis: Help Cover Travel Costs and Funeral Expenses

Dear friends,

In the span of less than a month, our dear friend Mantis has unexpectedly lost two close family members. Mantis will need to travel out of state to assist with logistics and attend the funeral. We are asking for assistance to cover the cost of travel and to contribute to their family member’s funeral expenses.

Mantis is a gem. They are a queer artist of color who creates illustrative and abstract art, stickers, and tattoos. Mantis is also a part of the local music and arts scene, and can be found hanging out with their partner, Gritty, and hiking with their dog Bean.

Every contribution will make a meaningful difference in alleviating their financial stress and allowing them the space to grieve without the added worry of financial hardship.

Here are a few ways you can help:

Donate

Your donations will go directly to Mantis to cover funeral expenses and travel costs. Every dollar counts and will be deeply appreciated.

Get a Tattoo

Mantis has lots of flash designs available on their instagram @sick_brat. Choose a design and head to peachtattoo.com/mantis to submit a request form. You’ll receive an email with an estimate, a request for deposit, and a link to schedule.

Buy Stickers

Mantis has some stickers available at Peach - drop by anytime Wed-Sat from 11-6:30 to pick some stickers up. Exact cash or Venmo only.

Share this GoFundMe

Even if you're unable to donate, sharing this will make a significant impact.

Let's support Mantis during this difficult time. Together, we can lighten the weight of grief and show Mantis that they are not alone.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and solidarity.
