Children's charity thanks our readers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MORE THAN pounds 6,000 has been raised in donations and pledges by readers of the Independent on Sunday for our Christmas appeal charity, Hope and Homes for Children. The latest supporter of the appeal is Body Shop founder Anita Roddick, who has made a personal donation of pounds 1,000.
"The response has been growing every day," said Mark Cook, who set up Hope and Homes for Children after serving as commander with British forces in Bosnia. "We are a small charity which creates families for children around the world, and we like to think of ourselves and our donors as a family as well, giving them support.
"My wife, Caroline, and I spend every evening writing back to thank everyone who gives money to Hope and Homes for Children. We hope they will become supporters for life - though that doesn't mean we keep pressing them for donations."
