===== Patreon and YouTube Paying =====

Patreon and YouTube income is what Peters hopes will sustain the new facility. On Saturday, Patreon income rose by $11 to $1,443, with three new donors for a total of 157. He also claims YouTube [[axanar_confidential_3|brings in $1,200]], for a monthly grand total of $2,643.
