Are there any ways to contribute to FOSS developers other than paying? I would really like to help/contribute but unfortunately have no regular income so no way to do so monetarily.

Actually, you can help by testing the software you use and file the bugs you find. Testing could include usability, UI, spelling, and trying to break it by putting various inputs into forms, etc.

In addition, telling people about it helps too. Maybe do blog or community posts, etc.

And thank you for wanting to help, you're a kind person!
