Ukrainian animals suffering from war

Hi. I’m Kandy and live in the US. I follow and have befriended a women named Oksana who (along with four other kind souls) rescue dogs and cats off the street.

They are providing food and medical services and were recently able to acquire a generator through generous donations, through PayPal alone! I made the suggestion they offer more ways to take in donations, but many sources like Venmo, Zelle, Amazon and GoFundMe are simply not accessible in Ukraine. She asked if I could set something up on her behalf. If you prefer to pay her directly, that would be wonderful! GoFundMe won’t allow me to include her PayPal account BUT you can go to her Instagram account: ukrainian_volunteer2019

and find it there. You’re welcome to dm her there as well.

They’ve recently received even more bad news when one of their volunteers was hospitalized with a “damaged lung” and is now in need of surgery. Needless to say, any amount you can send them would be deeply appreciated!

I asked Oksana to write up a paragraph to help authenticate their organization, so what follows are her words. Thank you so much for reading this far!

**********

My name is Oksana! I am a volunteer from the city of Kherson, I have a team of 5 people. We save animals from death, help animals who have suffered from war, who have lost their owners, we treat the sick who need it, and many lives have been saved.

It is very difficult for us to cope on our own, we have approached many people and tried to draw attention to ourselves, but many have passed us by. We do not have enough food, medicine, or financial means to maintain the shelter. Many need to be vaccinated, many need to be treated, many are dying and we do not have time to help them. Our hearts ask for your help!

We will give all receipts, all

certificates for medications and other things to people if they donate.
