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.

It must be kind of lonely being a mailman, all this correspondence running through your hands every day but none of it addressed to you.

One little boy decided to redress this balance however, by sending his family's mailman a postcard for him to keep.

"To Mailman. Don't send this to enybody," it read (sic). "This is yours. Sincirilly, Olivier."

The mailman was delighted by the card, according to the boy's mum, who said on Reddit that he was "walking away shaking his head and chuckling when he saw this."

As for Olivier's rather stunning name, she added: "It's French. He's a classy little dude.

"He went through a brief phase of opting to be called Oliver at school, but then I introduced him to Olivier Giroud, the fabulously attractive and talented French soccer player, and he's all about his name now, and even likes his nickname, Liv.

"He's a beautiful, manly little guy who can absolutely pull it off. The ladies love him. He's hilarious, charming, great at soccer, and has great hair."

The postcard is second in cuteness only to the boy who asked a girl neighbour to "come to my house and eat cheeses with me".
