[bars] Next shipment to Ukraine

[Juan Jiménez]

My apologies, I just found out that my PayPal account was not receiving
payments because I had unlinked my bank info some time ago after I was the
victim of a scam. I have corrected that, but it will take a day or two
while they verify the bank info. In the meanwhile, if you try to send a
donation and PayPal says I don't have an account, ignore that. As soon as
they verify my banking info the donations should go through.

Venmo and Zelle still work just fine. :)
