24 hours to save my business. Possible? (alien.top)

Been referred to this sub by the Ask me anything community.

5 years ago I created a news streaming app containing live news events from around the world. Though I faced a lot of setbacks and challenges along the way, the app has been operational thus far.

Here comes the challenge - The operational costs have significantly overtaken the earnings generated by the app. In less than 24 hours, a bill of 7000 USD awaits. If I combine my savings + funds in my account, I have about $1400 .

Should I attempt to raise the $5600 in the few hours remaining? Or would it be wiser to bid the business goodbye?

Someone suggested I set up a fundraiser. I've got some contributions so that's a good sign!

Any other ideas will be appreciated.

It shouldn't cost that much.

Inadequate research on my end is to blame. The network infrastructure was excessive, so I downgraded to a less expensive alternative. All good now!
