Support Independent Research
I created Prism Writing because I believe knowledge should be accessible to everyone. Every article is thoroughly researched, every source is verified, and every piece of content is crafted with care. This isn't a hobby—it's my life's work and my livelihood.
But the truth is, I'm struggling. Running this project with no outside funding, no investors, and no corporate backing means every dollar matters. Your support doesn't just keep the servers running—it keepshope alive.
If this work has helped you think differently, learn something new, or find information you couldn't find elsewhere—please consider giving back. Even a few dollars can make a real difference.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep this project alive. Thank you. 💚
