Money Matters

Honesty-Box Payments / Adjustments

Equality of access to support and education was the inspiration for this payment option, one may simply turn up and pay what one can afford. All a site user need do is visit the ‘Honesty-Box Payment’ page. Read more here about why we chose to accept payments in this manner.

Global disparity makes this an essential aspect of any effective and accessible global service. A day’s wage for one human being may equate to an entire month’s salary for another. Heck, some people’s hourly rate can be more than an entire year’s living salary in some places, therefore, asking people to pay only what they can afford seemed the only viable solution, one built on trust and faith.

Without this payment option, we would alienate those in need from accessing very helpful and loving tools and resources. That is why the Self-Help Library is totally free, but is used with the comprehension that honesty payments are what keep it growing; all payments do indeed support the lives of those who contribute their time, energy and expertise to this mission without any guarantee of a return. It is also why we rely on donations of service made by professionals who ‘have enough’. All Honesty Payments go to Ana Maria Ltd.
