@nemo, I have donated in the past and would like to donate again. But I’m wary of having to provide my personal details, as required by law, before making the donation.

You can send me money over UPI at nemo@upi (or an envelope of cash etc), and I'll gladly match it when I make the final transfer tomorrow.

@nemo, done. You should’ve received an incoming transaction from my wife’s UPI ID starting with keir (I don’t have one).
