<div>I started The Last Coal Mine in 2019 to spend time in coal communities and really listen — to the people who lived it, worked it, and built their lives around it.

<div>From Wales to Appalachia, this project has always been self-funded and deeply personal. It’s not about nostalgia. It’s about understanding how work shapes identity, how towns change when industries disappear, and what resilience actually looks like on the ground.

</div>
<div>Now I’m expanding the project to three new locations — one in Czechia and two in Poland — places I’ve identified to complement and balance the work so far.

<div>Your support helps cover travel, time in the field, conversations, photography, and sharing what I learn publicly through the project.

<div>If you believe in slowing down, listening carefully, and documenting real stories with care, I’d truly appreciate your support.
