In the open source or free software movement world I doubt you will find such. For example I would not and cannot higher programmers as they do charge over a thousand dollars per few weeks to code and we as the blind cannot afford that. I know in my hobby of restoring furniture I would charge about $500 per item as big or bigger then a conventional bench to help cover supplies and labor. Same with programming so we really are on our own here.
Even so in my field of sound ingineering where software is barely now starting to be more accessible, it takes thousands and thousands of lines of code and programmers can expect to be paid over maybe $3000 and higher for their skills.
