I'm really happy to see that we reached the minimum funding goal! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! I greatly appreciate it!
I just discovered that the closing date only applied to reaching the minimum goal. I wasn't aware that people could continue supporting A Happier World through this fundraiser beyond that date. This is fantastic news! However, it means I will discuss my next steps regarding my employment status with my accountant before withdrawing any funds.
My plan is to use the current funding ($2,790) to work on A Happier World full-time for 2-4 weeks (depending on taxes and the dollar-euro exchange rate) and pause my job search. During this time, I aim to finish my video on sewage water monitoring. I'm still considering how to proceed with this fundraiser afterwards.
