We have a saying in Italian that says "Chiedere è lecito, rispondere è
cortesia".
Roughly translated "Asking is allowed, answering is courtesy", that is
you can ask for whatever you want, maybe somebody will respond, or
don't, whatever.

I am happy to see that there is a community where people can ask for
and receive help in many forms.

Of course, in general, if somebody wants to chip in funding remember
that you can:
* donate to Tor project
* get together to run machines
* donate to groups that run many machines (see torservers.net)

We could start talking about which is the most efficient way to spend
money, but should we?
