$160,000 to $180,000 per year? I have a hard time believing that figure -- only because it is so low. My hat's off to you and and everyone involved for being able to operate any facility for such a low price tag. It is clear that volunteers must be a big part of the operation.
I find it humorous that someone challenges recouping the ongoing cost of the operation simply because some of the hardware and original expenses were donated. Anyone familiar with the cost of operating ANY emergency support or research facility knows that the ongoing costs far outweight the initial capital investments. Kinda shows a lack of understanding of how the world works.
I hope to never see the inside of your facility, but I am gratified that it is there. May all your funding needs be met and provde you the ability to continue the fine work you are doing.
