CNTCT-12801372 2022-12-04 USD $2.35 (USD) Mary Iskander/CEO wikimedia.org On the date 2022-12-04, I made a onetime donation of $2.35, there must have been a misunderstanding I made this donation on my Android phone using my credit card. I have been being charged monthly for this donation. A onetime donation of $2.35 was my intention. Please stop billing my credit card monthly for payment. Cancel the billing.
