The Organic Prepper

For many years, I've followed The Organic Prepper's website. Daisy Luther has been a rock of excellent information in the preparedness world for a long time. I've quoted her material endless times over the life of this blog.

But she's hit a rough patch, up to and including a medical situation that has left her permanently disabled and in great pain. It's been hard watching her condition deteriorate. Despite it all, however, she continues her active writing schedule, providing superbly researched information for her readers.

Today I (as a subscriber) received the following email:

We are days away from closing The Organic Prepper website.

I honestly can't believe I'm writing this letter to you all. As promised earlier, I wanted to send you a longer message to explain our situation.

This website began tiny, back in 2012. I had about 30 views per article and that was on a good day. I got lucky – people liked the content on The OP and we grew, and grew, and grew. We became a voice to be reckoned with, bringing you both sides of the story and being staunchly libertarian in our views. We had so much influence that it scared the establishment, and starting in 2020, we began suffering hit after hit.

First, we were defunded without any warning from our former ad network, AdThrive. We'd been working with them for years and never had a single complaint. Then they hired a "disinformation" group to audit our website and poof - the money we depended on was gone. (At this point, it cost $55,000 a year to run the websites, and that was without one thin dime coming to me or my family.) With ad network support, we could do it. Without, it's been a constant scramble since 2021 when we received our last payment.

Soon after "NewsGuard" decided to audit us. They ranked us rock-bottom for reliability and honesty, after trying to get us to change our narrative to match the official one. When we insisted on providing both sides of the story, we were called a disinformation outlet. Interestingly, all the things we disagreed on regarding the origins of Covid-19, the mRNA vaccines, and Dr. Anthony Fauci have been proven to be true. That doesn't matter, though – they still have us ranked as big fat liars. Other ad networks see this ranking and won't do business with us.

We've been almost completely reader-supported ever since. But times are tough, for you guys as well as me. That support has dwindled away, too. My health doesn't allow me to have the same level of "hustle" that I used to have, creating brand new products or courses every two weeks.

It truly pains me and embarrasses me to tell you that within the week, we may have to close the website. I'm holding this fundraiser as a last-ditch effort to keep paying for our server and other expenses (which I've cut back to the bare minimum).

As a fundraiser, I'm offering a really awesome anthology bundle, with four complete PDF books from The Organic Prepper, starting as low as $5. Every single penny helps us more than I can express. We're getting closer to our goal but we can't get there without help. You can set your own price for this product.

Asking for help is really difficult for me. I've always managed to save myself. This time, I can't do it without a hand up.

I sincerely appreciate any purchase you are able to make. I hope desperately to keep The OP going.

Stay safe.
Be happy.

Love,
Daisy

I'm reposting her request here in case anyone else would like to help support her. Her material is excellent and the bundles she offers are well worth it. Please consider making some purchases to help her out.

Thank you.
