Here's the deal, if you're setting up a charity request you should give me a one time payment option in addition to the monthly options. I would have given something if there were such an option.
The only problem is that he's still stressing about money at that point. If he has even 300 people willing to pledge $8/month, he can bank on $2400/month and adjust his living expenses accordingly, if necessary. I'm sure there are people that would give $500+ in one shot, but then he has to set a runway, keeping asking, etc. in order to continue that. PG has talked about how much raising money is a distraction, too.
Not saying it's not a possibility, just saying there are advantages in not offering a one-time donation. If you still want to give, I'm sure he would accommodate you, if you contact him (he's very friendly).
Once we get a non-profit set up there will certainly be that option for support RbMU at least. But if you do want to make a one time payment, here you go: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/13580 (The campaign is for RbMU but it all goes to the same place)
The reason I'm going with subscribers and not advertising the other option just yet is for the reason jonsmock mentioned.
Nonetheless, thanks for the comment because it confirmed my guess that people might want that option...
