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.I began my matchmaking career with my father and stepmother, when I was only 12 (they are about to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary). I must admit I'm a tiny bit obsessed with getting people together. No one was at all surprised when I set up a dating agency [www.mysinglefriend.com].
Why do I do it? I think it's because I've been with my husband for 18 years now, so only have my friend's dating lives to enjoy.
My husband accuses me of meddling, but one of the most rewarding moments of my life was when I visited St George's Hospital recently – a nice-looking man came up to me, introduced me to his wife and told me: "We met on your site." In her arms she held a newborn baby – a beautiful mysinglefriend.com baby. Now that's not meddling, that's matchmaking!"
