For a mother who has spent her entire life loving and raising her child, being beaten and mercilessly thrown out onto the streets by her own son is too heartbreaking to overcome. But this is a common story among the elderly residents of the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. “I’ve seen mothers in old and torn clothes, their bodies smelling and their hands and feet rotting and covered in maggots,” shares Dr. G.P. Bhagat, founder of the ashram. These abandoned elderly men and women lay starving on the streets hoping for someone to rescue them from their suffering. But most people walk past them without a second glance. “Like this”, Dr. Bhagat explains, “many elders die on the roads.”Since 2003, SHEOWS (Saint Hardyal Educational and Orphans Welfare Society) has rescued over 10,000 elderly people from the streets and given them a home with care and support. The elderly staying at the ashram have all been abandoned by their families and have nowhere else to live. Your support can give them comfort after their abandonment.

Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. This includes constant care and round-the-clock medical attention, nutritious food and maintaining a hygienic environment to keep the seniors in comfort and good health. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

We have come a long way in taking a stand against injustice when we can see it. But unfortunately, millions of voiceless farmed animals are still being subjected to inhuman cruelty in illegal dairies, slaughterhouses, etc. Their plight has been hidden from us, and their cries for help are muffled. These animals are stifled in dingy sheds and housed in abysmal conditions. They are injected with harmful substances to extract milk, mistreated, and finally transported to illegal slaughterhouses when they are of no use. IAF India Animal Foundation, along with other NGOs, have resolved to ease the pain of these farmed animals. They have provided safe shelter, food and medical care to ill and injured farmed animals rescued from life-threatening conditions. Besides these, the NGOs are also actively involved in capacity building and advocacy.With more and more ill and injured animals being brought in each day, these NGOs are in urgent need of funds to care for helpless farm animals. Your contribution can ensure the end of abuse for hundreds of animals trapped in illegal farms. Donate now.Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).Unheard cries of voiceless farm animals“In illegal dairy units, animals are beaten, abused, and their bones are broken. If they are ill or injured, they are never given treatment. They are tied up in small spaces. Where there is space barely for 10, they keep 20, 30 or even 40 buffaloes. And these animals spend their entire life in these painful conditions", says Dr Asher Jesudoss, Director, People For Animals (PFA) Public Policy Foundation, who has been fighting to save farmed animals from torture. According to him, several crude, illegal and violent methods/practices are used to extract milk from cattle, which leave thousands with illnesses. “Labour pains are induced in cattle by injecting drugs; they are made to forcefully let down milk twice a day unnaturally. Their calves are pulled away and are not allowed to drink their mother’s milk. They are tied separately and later killed or left to die", he adds. With your support, Asher and the NGOs fighting this battle can provide immediate medical care to animals who would otherwise meet a slow and painful end. Build capacity, work with governments to do policy work and spread awareness. Donate now.Urgent need for donations“We are trying to give these animals a good life, but we are dependent on public support to meet the expenses on food, transport, shelter, and medication for these animals. I humbly request each one to come forward, and please donate whatever you can so we can give these farm animals a life away from abuse and suffering,” says Asher.Donate to this fundraiser by India Animal Fund (IAF) on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide abused farmed animals urgent treatment, care, and shelter, build capacity, spread awareness and work closely with governments to make life easy for the voiceless.

Cattle, bred for profit and abandoned after they stop producing milk, are often found malnourished, injured or sick on city streets. Many face bitter winters, starvation and death in road accidents - a sad fate for cows in a country where they are revered by lakhs of people. To save cows from such a sad end, Swami Ishwar Das started Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaushala, currently home to 18,000+ abandoned cows. But with the rising costs of fodder and medicines, he is struggling to provide the quality of care such mistreated animals deserve. “It was in 2010 when I witnessed abandoned cows from the streets in Uttarakhand being transported in a truck. The cows were administered anesthesia and stacked one above the other like lifeless goods. When me and a few of my acquaintances brought the cows off the truck, two of them died before my eyes and that sight shook me to the core. It was then that I started Shree Krishnayan Gaushala with 11 abandoned cows in a small donated land,” says Swami Ishwar Das.Swami Ishwar Das is unable to bear the rising cost of nutrition and medical care for injured cows and needs support to continue to save these voiceless animals. Donate now. All donations on this platform are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA).<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/ead01668-6b4d-4a8c-85de-30b43e174f22.JPG" />Every life matters“Here at Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaushala, it is our resolve to leave no stone unturned in caring for helpless cows. No matter what the cost of treatment may be, we make every possible effort to aid ill and injured cows. Our only objective is that a cow should not lose its life for the want of medical care, food or water,” says Swami Ishwar Das. In order to provide the best quality of care and treatment to its adopted cattle, three well trained veterinary doctors attend the gaushala 24/4. The NGO - Shree Krishnayan Desi Gauraksha Avam Golokdham Seva Samiti - spares no expense in providing nutrition either. From jaggery and grains to a healthy mix of green and dry fodder, cows are given meals best suited to their needs.With cost of fodder on rise the Gaushala needs help<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/93e7eafe-4438-40d6-ae40-6972feaf0988.jpg" />Swami Ishwar Das and his team, however, are struggling to keep up with rising costs of nutrition and medical care for cows. “The cost of fodder has risen by almost three times in the last couple of years. From food to medicines everything has become expensive. And we will never compromise with the quality of care and love that we want to give to our cows,” says Swami Ishwar Das. Help Swami Ishwar Das provide the best care and love to abandoned cows while saving them from a desperate life of starvation and suffering on the streets.

Charlies Animal Rescue Centre – CARE established in January 2013, initially on half an acre of land adjacent to the picturesque Jakkur Lake, later moved to a larger place at Mitteganahalli, Yelahanka. The inspiration behind the trust, is 15 year old Charlie, a differently abled, 3 legged Indian Dog who was an established figure in the field of canine therapy since 2005. Charlie passed away in March, 2017, but has left behind a legacy that the CARE shelter aims to live up to through rescue and rehabilitation of animals in need.The Care Shelter is also home to animals of all kinds which includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, ducks and a calf. These animals are permanent residents of CARE due to their varying needs and special conditions – blindness, differently abled, paraplegic,serious ailments, aged and who require constant care, medical attention and love.

Photos from the Ground

The CARE trauma centre successfully treated two dogs with tumor growths: A. Ronnie had a large tumor on his right hind leg that impaired his mobility. Radiographs showed that the tumor did not damage the bone. The tumor was removed and Ronnie recovered well after the surgery. He can now run and walk normally.B. Monty had a massive growth on his neck that prevented him from eating or drinking. A thorough examination of the tumor was done to assess its extent and malignancy. Biopsy results were negative. The surgery was challenging due to the location of the tumor, but Monty survived and healed well. He can now enjoy his food and run freely.

On an average, the CARE trauma centre receives 180-200 Accident cases of dogs every month, of that at least a 100 cases require intensive and critical care monitoring. These are dogs that have either undergone a major surgery and require dedicated post-operative care or dogs brought in to the facility in a very critical and fragile condition. All of them need to be monitored round the clock, oxygen levels, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. where fluctuations could even cause death.CARE's critical care support unit has the best available equipment that will maintain the condition of these animals on an hourly basis with dedicated and trained personnel to record the progress of the cases.The Unit has Oxygen Concentrators to maintain a continuous supply of oxygen , Patient Monitors for blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, temperatureICU maintaining cages, specially designed that allows the equipment to be attached to the cage.And the best veterinary team in place.The most important factor is the number of critical CARE cases attended to and lives saved. 
 Each Inpatient admitted requiring critical care will be first administered emergency and immediate treatment include stabilization with IV fluids, pain management, wound care &amp; bleeding control and so on. This is followed by investigations for diagnosis like blood tests, x rays, ultrasound and so on. Once a diagnosis is made, the treatment required is initiated which includes medications and/or surgeries and long term housing until recovery. We do this for about 100 animals every month. Each case costs approximately a minimum of Rs 5000 for all the above. 
 With this project we can save the lives of over 3 animals per day, 100 animals per month and 1200 animals per year, who are critically ill or injured , fighting desperately for their lives.

Critical Care Fund for Street Animals

On India Philanthropy Day, GIVE.DO is giving us matching funds for all donations that come in during a 24 hour period on July 19th. If we have one day to raise funds, what would we raise it for? The answer is very easy. We would do it for the medical treatment of street animals who come in grievously injured to our trauma care facility. CARE does not charge a mandatory fee to reporters admitting animals. In a majority of cases, the responsibility of raising funds for these animals is borne by CARE. Each case requires a minimum of Rs 3000/- to run all the basic diagnostic tests, initiate treatment depending on the condition, provide the animal nutritious food and shelter until he/she heals and are ready for release. Your contribution to this fundraiser will help these animals who have no one behind them, except us. One Day. One Goal. Let's Save a 100 animals together!

1 Day . 1 Goal. Save 100 Street Animals

There are a total number of 3,00,000 dogs in Bangalore as per the BBMP Census 2019. Given the numbers, it also means that the number of stray dogs suffering from injuries and illnesses, unattended on the street is also high. As validation to the fact, the CARE helpline receives over 200 calls a day. The current capacity of our treatment facility is for about 100. This gap in numbers, results in a back log that cases a subsequent delay in treatment and in some circumstances costing precious lives that could have been saved with timely treatment. 
 The approach at CARE to improve the lives of street animals is by running 2 helplines, 3 ambulances, a fully equipped trauma care unit, finding homes for some of them and sheltering those who have nowhere else to go. The need to establish CARE stemmed from the realisation that the existing healthcare facility for these nobody’s animals was inadequate. So the heart of our work has always been trauma care. The goal was to provide the best of veterinary services to all animals that come to our gates, irrespective of their ownership status and so the focus and emphasis remains on upgrading our trauma care facility. 
 Our Current Concern and Prerogative is to undertake capacity building, as we have all other resources but seem to be facing a space crunch. Hence, our goal is to expand our currently existing facility to circumvent this issue, where dogs die not due to the severity of their illness but mainly due to the delay in receiving treatment, which is a bigger tragedy that is entirely avoidable.To overcome this, we are looking at moving our existing isolation facilty to a newer location close to the main facility and make use of the vacated space to expand our trauma care and make room for more dogs. If we are able to raise funds to do this, we will be able to impact the lives of 200 dogs at any given point of time.We hope to stay true to our motto of no dog left behind, by pushing our boundaries, thereby inching closer to our goal of universal coverage for our city’s dogs.
