Dear Friends!
For the first time in many months, we managed to raise the entire amount needed to survive another month :)
We are proud of you for rising to the occasion, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts :)
Don't forget about us in the coming months, because without you, we wouldn't be here.

Dear Friends!
We already have the full amount for the servers - mega happy, thank you :)
We still lack the money to survive another month - we only have 38% of the donation :(
We wholeheartedly thank you for your support, which, as always, is invaluable. As always, we encourage more users to support us, because without your support, we won't be able to survive.

We are halfway through our fundraisers. We have 52% of donations for servers.
