Let’s be honest: asking for money is awkward, especially when we’re all getting nickel-and-dimed by life. Subscriptions, rising costs, endless funding requests…it’s exhausting.
But here’s the situation: Since March 2025, I’ve been covering the people, places, and stories that make Fremont unique…self-funded and built as a labor of love for our neighborhood. All content is free and accessible to everyone. No paywalls, no intrusive ads, just local news with a Fremont state of mind.
As the site grows, so do the costs. Web hosting, tools, and time all add up.
