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.A DIY enthusiast who has spent the last year doing up his Victorian home woke yesterday to discover it collapsing around him and his family. Mechanic David Page and his wife Carol, were alerted to the disaster when their two children ran into the bedroom shouting: "Wake up, quick - the house is falling down."
The front and side wall of the semi-detached home in Sholing, Southampton, crumbled as the family ran to safety, leaving holes in the brickwork and rupturing a gas pipe. Carol and her son Ryan, 13, moved in with Mr Page and his daughter Vicki, 12, after the couple were married. He said: "It all happened really fast ... The kids came running in shouting that the house was collapsing - it was like an earthquake."
