Their Shelter Is Soaked—Be the Roof They Need

Their Shelter Is Soaked—Be the Roof They Need

RAIN IS POURING… AND OUR DOGS ARE DRENCHED!
We Need Your Urgent Help to Give Them Shelter

As the skies open up and it’s raining cats and dogs, the helpless souls at our shelter are getting soaked—shivering, scared, and exposed. These dogs, who once faced abandonment and abuse, finally found safety with us… but now the rain has snatched away even that little comfort.

We urgently need 150 tin sheets to cover the open area where they roam freely. Without this shed, they’re completely at the mercy of the weather. Their blankets are soaked, their food gets wet, and their tiny bodies are cold.

Each tin sheet brings warmth, comfort, and protection.
You can sponsor even 1 tin sheet and make a huge difference.

Please don’t let them suffer in silence.
Stand with us. Help us give them the roof they desperately need.

Nirmala’s Journey: A Story of Compassion and Change

Nirmala’s Journey: A Story of Compassion and Change

Nirmala’s Journey: A Story of Compassion and Change

Nirmala, a homeless woman living near the market, had a life marked by hardship. Despite her struggles and a heavy drinking habit, she had a heart full of love for animals. Nirmala dedicated herself to caring for the street dogs in her area, feeding them and ensuring they were safe.

Her family included a daughter who had completed her 12th grade and was married, living a stable life. Her son, Sunny, worked sporadically in the market, but the family struggled to make ends meet. Over time, Nirmala developed cataracts in both eyes, leaving her vision severely impaired.

Moved by her resilience and love for animals, Helping Hearts decided to step in and transform their lives. Under the guidance of our founder, Mrs. Shehla Naik, we took the following steps:

Employment for the family: Sunny and his wife, Hasina, were employed by Helping Hearts. Hasina now cooks food for dogs, while Sunny was provided with a rickshaw to help transport injured animals and feed street dogs in areas like Command Hospital Road, Convent Street, and Undri.

Medical aid: Nirmala underwent cataract surgery to restore her vision.

Dignified livelihood: A handcart was purchased for Nirmala, enabling her to earn a living with dignity instead of begging.

Our journey with this family is far from over. To ensure their sustainability and extend their ability to help animals, we aim to buy them a tempo soon.

If this story touches your heart and you wish to support Nirmala and her family, we warmly invite you to contribute. Your generosity will not only uplift their lives but also help us continue making a difference in the lives of animals and people in need.

Together, let’s make compassion a way of life.
