Hey there. I really don't like doing this, but things are getting rough financially and I could really use some help to keep things running.

Right now, server costs for esmBot, wetdry.world, and some other assorted things are around $120/month, but this has been growing steadily each month as heavier traffic limits have been put in place and the value of the US dollar has been slowly declining (my provider will only accept euro).

Additionally, I am having to pay nearly a combined $1k/month in rent and car payments, and this has been quickly draining my savings. It has reached the point where my bank account has a good chance of going into the red within the next month or two, and I really want to prevent that from happening.

Donations/tips are greatly appreciated, anything helps. I've started posting monthly updates regarding the development of esmBot on my Patreon linked above; however, if there's anything else you'd want to see from me on there or on Ko-fi, I'll see what I can provide.

Additionally, I am currently looking for work here in the states as a backend dev that can provide years of experience with Node.js (or most other server JS runtimes) and PostgreSQL/SQLite. Please message me if you happen to work for or know of a company that would potentially be interested; a resume can be provided on request directly to employers.
