The hardest part is overcoming that psychological barrier by
entering
your credit/debit card # - after that it will be easy, and you
will be
making a real difference for all the hard-working folks who
volunteer
here everyday. Even if you haven't been to sudo lately for
whatever
reason, I can't emphasize enough how much it means to us on the
ground. Every dollar you give translates DIRECTLY into the
love-powered energy that helps us keep the space clean, open,
safe,
accessible and hopping with life. None of us are paid for this,
few of
us are wealthy, many of us are struggling. Here's what our
expenses
cost approximately per week:
$9 for the server that powers this very mailing list, our
homepage,
blog, wiki, and dev environments for many other projects!
$15 for services such as trash pickup that keeps our hackers from
being devoured by mutant flies and keeps our landlord's head from
combusting spontaneously on every visit!
$25 goes to our sweet, privacy-conscious, locally owned, ISP to
bring
internets to our public terminals, raspis, radio stream, and
about a
billion laptops and phones every week!
$70-90 for our utilities, including power for our lights,
computers,
devices, fridge, ac/heat, printers, dishwasher, crock pot, coffee
pot!
$345 to rent our current space, with some prospective spaces
approaching $500+/week. This space has so much value as an open
community space which enables so many people and groups to
accomplish
awesome things!
$infinite for the inspiration to learn and create beautiful
things,
which we have MORE TIME FOR when we are not struggling over the
basics!!! That's where we are right now too often, and we ALL
would
like more time for the fun stuff. That will be a lot easier if
you all
give to sudoroom, so PLEASE CHIP IN now <3<3<3

Right now we make $96.67. If we make over $138.75 we get bumped
to the
front page as a top receiver. If we make $500 we will finally
have our
basics covered and be free to dream even bigger.
Thanks so much!
