Atonement for Prayer Without a Minyan

Question

Hello Rabbi, there is a guesthouse in Belgium, and very often I don't have a minyan here. In the summer, many people come to the area of the guesthouse, and until today I have been charging money for them to come and pray with me. I build a tent in the yard of the guesthouse because I don't have enough space.
I wanted to ask if I should forgo the money so that it would be a merit and atonement for all the times I pray without a minyan.

Answer

Peace and blessings

According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita: If you have the opportunity to do so, it is certainly correct to do so.
