I’m not saying this to pressure you or guilt you into giving, but I wanted to let you know that the scales have been tipped in my favor recently. literally.
Usually, $100 would equal about 750 rand (South African currency), but the exchange rate has escalated over the past couple of days, and as of right now, $100 would equal just under 1020 rand. I’m not sure how much longer the escalated exchange rate will last (it’s hovered around 8.5 rand to a dollar for the past week or so which is still really good), but I just wanted to let you all know!

Thanks for supporting me if you have in the past, and thank you if you’re considering it.
