Please Fund My Continued Accessibility Work on GNOME!
I have been under distress lately due to personal circumstances that are outside my control. I cannot find a permanent job that allows me to function, I am not eligible for government benefits, my grant proposals to work on free and open-source projects got rejected, paid internships are quite difficult to find, especially when many of them prioritize new contributors. Essentially, I have no stable, monthly income that allows me to sustain myself. I would really appreciate any kinds of donations, especially ones that happen periodically to increase my monthly income. These donations will allow me to sustain myself while allowing me to work on accessibility throughout GNOME, essentially ‘crowdfunding’ development without doing it on the behalf of the GNOME Foundation or another organization. I accept donations through the following platforms: Liberapay (free and open-source platform) Ko-fi GitHub Sponsors
