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.

contribute with your time. depending on the project, you can write the code, design the assets, help with translation, or even triage issues on the bug tracker.

Documentation is sorely lacking in many different open source projects. Often just making sure the documentation is up-to-date is very helpful

Yeah this. There’s always something to be done, for any skill level/type.
