Username: putz, Server: Tommy, Main domain: putz.heliohost.us

Just wanted to add a suggestion to have donorbox.org or yourselves adding a
paypal-payment option to accommodate non US-donators.
Have a nice day, best, Erik

Yeah, donating to our normal PayPal account on our website is fine too. We intentionally set up a Stripe account for the fundraiser because we have heard from a lot of people that they can't use PayPal for one reason or another. We're hoping that by offering Stripe payment in addition to PayPal payments we can allow a larger number of people to be able to donate.
