Well, you guys kinda came out of the door running with all the extra's and such. That does take a toll if only one person is on the monetary end of such projects. Scaling back is a good idea.
On both sides of the donation chain, I can see it being tough, because depending on the quality of materials one may require .... the higher quality, the higher the cost.
A down side is that their usually won't be enough resource to make these special projects for each person who donates and it can be an unintentional side effect which no-one wishes to see.
I'm glad to know you all will still be doing what you're doing, just in a more reserved and paced stride.
I'm sure it will all work out for the best.
