If you do not want any money, but you want to inspire others, then enter “0” in the field “Donation goal” when filling your Mission form. In this case there will be no donation list and no “Support” button at the end of your Mission.

Thus, you will use PATRON4change either

for inspiring others with your mission and for showing that each of us can do something for the future that is worth living for, or
for/and for getting help as other registered users can contact you.
