Thank you so much for your support! As you know, everything we do here is on a volunteer basis. The revenue we receive from YouTube and your generous donations helps cover some of our expenses, including hardware, software, internet, the website, and more. These expenses really add up, which is why we had to establish a non-profit organization. Each year, we invest much more into this project than earn, and our tax advisor warned that this isn’t sustainable and could trigger an IRS audit.

This truly is a labor of love for all of us, and we put in thousands of hours each year to make it happen. We are deeply grateful for your continued support!
