Help me out with the PS3 devkits and repairs!

Hello everyone, it's Antoine from PurrmingStudios, also known as Antviau.
As you know I am the one who fixed and dumped the DECHA00J on which the QA build for Dancing Eyes was.
I did that entirely with my own money and tools, despite being a law student who still lives with his parents and has a business (300€ for the debug kit itself + all of the parts and the price for the BGA station).
To properly do this, I had to buy an ACHI IR PRO SC for 792€ through a 4X, a BGA toolkit for 80€, 65nm chips for 140€ and a bunch of other stuff I'm not even thinking about because I did not keep books doing everything entirely for free and thinking business would keep up.
But in France, taxes and the URSAFF are absolutely huge, and eat up all of my profit margin.
Also, in terms of what I'm usually paid, it's 300€ per console, so the loss on the dozens of the consoles I'm going to fix for free so that the community can have the data is huge, which adds to the taxes and URSAFF.
The devkits themselves come from Capcom, Bandai Namco, Naughty Dog and Konami.
We already have them, Florent my friend has already purchased them with his own money and will come this month to give them to me.
They appear to be containing quite a few interesting builds.
So I am asking for your help financing me, I would not do this if I really did not have a choice, and the goal of the GoFundMe is the bare minimum so that I can do the repairs.
All of the leftover money after fixing the devkits will be used for parts and buying more to fix and dump.
Thank you for reading this.
