wrzky@kolektiva.sociali everyone,
I need to raise $280 this month for October groceries and platform maintenance.
I’m a disabled Indonesian independent writer and mutual aid organiser, and this work is sustained largely through community support rather than a fixed salary.
$80 is for groceries for the second half of October, with a deadline of 15 October. I’ve already covered my electricity, water, and internet for the month, and I still have enough food to get me through roughly the middle of October. I just need to make sure I can restock for the final two weeks.
The remaining $200 is for one year of VPS hosting for wrzky.com and mutualaidspace.org, with a deadline of 20 October. My current shared web hosting renews on 30 October, so I need that time to set up the VPS, migrate and test both production sites, switch everything over properly, and make sure there is no service interruption, especially on mutualaidspace.org. Hopefully, we can meet this goal a lot sooner than that.
mutualaidspace.org is the public-facing mutual aid infrastructure I’ve been building: campaign amplification, submitted requests, weekly roundups, and federation across the Fediverse. The server-side work has grown beyond what makes sense to keep forcing through shared hosting.
wrzky.com needs to move with it. It's my publishing home, and it's also where I build and test federation infrastructure and prototypes before developing them further for mutualaidspace.org. Some of that prototype work has been sitting on hold, and keeping wrzky.com on shared hosting would leave the development side of the project under the same limits I’m trying to move away from.
If you have money you can redistribute, please send some of it towards the $280 goal. $5, $10, $20, whatever is within your capacity; all of it moves me closer to having food covered and getting both sites onto infrastructure that can actually sustain the work.

If you can’t contribute financially, please redistribute the request itself: boost it, repost it, share it with your networks, or put it in front of someone who can contribute. I need both money and distribution to get this covered by the deadlines. Thank you, thank you 💜
