Letter: A desperate plea
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.Sir: Five years ago my wife gave birth to our second child. Unfortunately, we now find the cost of having two children quite high, particularly as my nine-year-old son has taken a keen interest in golf.
I understand that there are plenty of caring people about who are willing to donate money to alleviate the plight of people in a similar situation to myself. Could I ask them, therefore, to donate generously to my family? I think pounds 30,000 would be enough to ensure that my son and I could afford to play golf at a reasonable club until he is no longer a financial burden on his poor old parents.
Without this money my wife may have to undergo unnecessary fertility treatment with a view to becoming pregnant with a ridiculously large number of children/foetuses. Thanks in advance.
