Donations

Due to few payments (I am currently finishing paying off everything in Denmark) I need donations for August (because I am working I was able to pay everything, but it didn’t leave me with a lot to buy food in August). It helps me run this website, keep my self fed and keep everything going for me in the month of august. If you can’t donate due to your own circumstances don’t worry about it. Thanks for the support. 🙂
