Mountain Ink needs your help to revive its independent and impartial journalism.

We are burdened with over $15000 debt and need another $15000 to fund our operational expenses.

Your donation will ensure that Mountain Ink becomes a critical source of unbiased reporting and be a platform for marginalized voices. It will also ensure that the people of Kashmir have access to independent and fearless journalism.

Every contribution counts. Share this story, spread the word, and stand with us for truth and justice.

Greetings! I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of Mountain Ink, an independent media organization dedicated to providing honest, fearless journalism in Kashmir. Unfortunately, due to adverse circumstances and financial difficulties, we were forced to cease our operations

Dear Supporters and Contributors,

I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I share this heartfelt note with each one of you. Your unwavering support and generous contributions have played a pivotal role in reviving Mountain Ink's website.

As a united community, we have collectively raised almost 60% of the needed amount. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the remaining 40% has been arranged as a temporary debt. Today was the final day to save the invaluable archives spanning years, and because of your solidarity, we have successfully renewed the hosting.

The restoration process is now underway, and soon, the heart and soul of Mountain Ink—the stories, memories, and shared experiences—will be back online for all to access and cherish.

Your commitment to preserving the essence of Mountain Ink has touched us deeply, reaffirming the power of community and the impact we can create when we come together. As we navigate this chapter, your support has not only saved our archives but has also reinforced the spirit of our cherished publication.

While we are immensely grateful for your support, we acknowledge the debt incurred to make this possible. If you are in a position to continue contributing, it will help expedite the process of writing off this debt. Your ongoing support ensures the financial stability of Mountain Ink and allows us to continue our commitment to meaningful journalism.

Once again, thank you for being the driving force behind this revival. We look forward to continuing our journey together, fueled by the strength of our community.

With profound gratitude,
Mountain Ink

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency. Over the past years, we have strived to bring you thought-provoking articles, insightful news, and captivating stories that have become an integral part of Kashmir's media discourse.

However, I regret to inform you that we are currently facing a significant challenge that threatens the very existence of Mountain Ink. Our website hosting has expired, rendering our online platform inaccessible for over two months. This downtime not only hampers our ability to reach you but also jeopardizes the future of our publication.

Mountain Ink has always been more than just a newspaper; it's a community, a forum for diverse voices, and a source of information that you rely on. We have faced and overcome numerous hurdles together, and now we turn to you, our loyal readers and supporters, for assistance.

Your support will not only revive our online presence but also ensure that the stories and issues that matter to you continue to be shared and discussed.

As we navigate this challenging period, we recognize the power of community and the strength that lies in unity. Whether you have been a reader for years or just recently discovered Mountain Ink, your contribution, big or small, will make a significant impact.
