In the midst of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the most vulnerable victims are often the ones without a voice. Thousands of animals—especially dogs and cats—have been left injured, abandoned, terrified, and without shelter as families flee and communities are destroyed. My aunt is a dedicated volunteer at a local animal shelter in Ukraine, working every day to rescue, feed, and care for these innocent lives despite constant danger and limited resources. She helps provide emergency medical treatment, warmth, food, and safety to animals who have lost everything. Donations to this fundraiser will go directly toward life-saving supplies, veterinary care, food, and shelter support, ensuring these animals are not forgotten in the chaos of war. Every contribution, no matter the size, becomes an act of compassion and hope—proof that even in the darkest moments, humanity still chooses kindness.

For purposes of transparency:

• My full name: Svitlana Wood

• The direct contact the funds will go to: Olha Melnychenko

• The city of the nonprofit: Voznesensk

• The plan: the funds donated will go ONLY to aid with supplies for animals including, but not limited to; veterinary care, food, medicines, transportation of animals, and building materials for outdoor houses for homeless animals.

• For further proof, I will upload proof of funds transferred and proof of what amounts went to what with receipts where possible.

Please consider supporting these animals who have no part in man-made wars.
