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.Chelsea captain John Terry has often been vilified for his actions on and off the football pitch.
But the former England skipper has attempted to change his image in recent years, often engaging in charitable acts and with fans - he played in David Beckham's Unicef charity game at the weekend.
The Chelsea Reddit page has found another such example of Terry's kindness.
In a letter to Susan Goode, whose husband Michael died, Terry expresses the "deepest sympathies" from the players and staff at Chelsea.
The letter reads:
"Dear Susan,
It is with great sadness that we have been informed that your husband Michael has passed away.
Michael was a loyal fan who will be dearly missed by his family, friends and Chelsea Football Club.
It is the kind of support that Michael gave us that has made the club what it is today.
The players, coaching team and all the staff at Chelsea Football Club would like to send you and your family and friends our deepest sympathies.
Yours sincerely,
John Terry
First Team Captain
Chelsea Football Club"
