Help Revive Independent Media in Kashmir 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
