Dear Friend

Please don't skip this 1-minute read. I’m sorry to interrupt, but time will soon run out to help us because the clock is ticking on this fundraiser.

We wouldn’t be able to achieve any of this without you. Thank you for being there for us. Together, let’s continue to preserve this special place on the internet.

 

Yes, I support Wikipedia
