"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."
"In reality, he was a child in crisis, struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and sinking into depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I just didn't want to be seen by anybody, Mr Grange told The Independent. The easiest option for me was to run, just run, go missing... It was a few times, it wasn't just the once... It was normally almost like a defence mechanism for when I was struggling mentally and with my neurodivergence."
The Independent funds frontline reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while avoiding paywalls to keep journalism accessible. The organisation investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' focusing on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations support reporters on the ground to present multiple perspectives. The Independent is partnering with Missing People to launch SafeCall, a co‑designed helpline piloted by young people to support children in crisis. The fundraising target is £165,000 to expand reach toward the 70,000 children reported missing each year; the charity currently reaches one in four.
