I promised myself that I would never do this unless it was absolutely necessary and it's proving necessary lately. If you don't know, I run the website qafcaps.com which provides screencaptures of Queer as Folk and downloads for those captures. I also maintain the old archive of the original Queer Eyes site which is an exact replica of the old Queer Eyes site. That site holds old icons, videos, and fic which may or may not be found in other archives.
I pay $10.95 per month to maintain ownership of the site. I've had the site active since 2009 and I've only asked for help one other time when I was able to keep up payments for 4 months. I've been able to maintain it financially on my own and I will definitely continue to do so. There's no way I want to close it down for any reason so even if no one contributes, I'll figure out a way to make it work. But it would be a great help to me if you would.
I promise to leave a public tally here so that every cent is accounted for and so you know that it is only going to payments for this site. I have another site of mine I maintain, my personal photography portfolio site, but those payments are my own. Again, it is $10.95 per month so payment for a year is $131.40. I'd like to reach that goal to be able to maintain the site for the year. Hopefully, I'm in a better financial position next year to just take care of this on my own but for now, I'm reaching out to the Queer as Folk community.
Thank you to anyone who can help! My PayPal e-mail is: amelia.lourdes@gmail.com.
I will make a public announcement if my goal is reached to let you guys know and if there's any excess, I'll make that announcement known, too, so that it can go into a tally for the following year.
Thank you again, guys, it means a lot!

Hi, Amelia! Long time, no see - LOL!.;) I will be glad to help. As a fan fic writer, I can't tell you how invaluable your QAF Caps site has been for making banners and untold other reasons. It's one of my favorite sites for QAF. Will send a contribution today. *Hugs* ~Kim
Haha, indeed. Thank you so, so much, Kim! I'm so glad that you use the site and find it helpful. I really appreciate what you've given. It was really generous of you. Thank you again!
Any way to do this other than PayPal? I would like to help, but if at all possible I would prefer to give you the money in a different way. You can email me at xie.kay@gmail.com if you'd like!
Thank you so much for wanting to help! I just chose PayPal because I've been a long-time member and that's how I usually do my money transfers. Hmm. I'll definitely think of an alternative for the future but thankfully I managed to reach my goal this time around. I'm very, very grateful for your willingness to help. It really means a lot to me.
