Did you cover the $8000 yourself? I would contribute to that.

I covered the majority. One person sent me a decent sum; I’ll share their name once they tell me it is OK to do so.

Feel free to email me if you want to. I have some requests for help trickling in still and probably have it under control but I won’t say no to assistance.

I'd be happy to contribute to something yearly in order to help during the holidays, this community means a lot to me despite knowing mostly no-one and having made no real connections over the years. But you've all helped me grow and learn significantly.

I sent you a message on keybase. Happy to contribute as well.

Thank you too! With the war in my country, we're barely meeting ends, and couldn't prepare for Christmas. I wasn't sure about asking for help, but we've been struggling for a while, and even the holidays weren't looking to be any cheer for us. Although I doubted that we deserved it - there are many people who have it much worse, forced out of their houses, - I still reached out. I don't know if it's right of me to do…

I think it's not proper of me to add, but I'll reach out for help once more, feeling encouraged: I'd like to find some remote work. I have the following skills, among others: - I am good at language learning, could teach anyone efficient techniques in the field, as, apart from my native Ukrainian and Russian, I am self-taught at English, German, and a bit higher than beginner Japanese. Not only that, but I am also go…

If you'd like some small programming jobs I'm sure I can find some for you to do while learning. My email is in my profile (as is my telegram, keybase).

Hi, I just wanna confirm this guy is for real.

Sent him a lengthy email about my situation a while ago and he immediately responded.

Thank you very much @atdrummond, I'll share these blessings with the people here. Happy holidays everyone!

Sent you an email - I am locked out of my KeyBase for 5 days for doing an account reset.

Nobody - but I think anyone has the capacity to make another person's day a little bit better.

I find it incredible that you even put a phone number on your HN profile. Wow.

Not the OP, but it can go both ways I guess. I believe in being contactable and subscribe the the patio11 approach. If you email me as a human, I'm going to read it and if I don't reply it's probably because something interrupted me while I was reading it so email again.

I'm happy to be challenged on anything I say and own it when I'm wrong, so see no need to be anonymous.

I sent OP $1000

Sharing this here in the hope it inspires others who have the means to do the same.
