Gracias for presenting the opportunity to do at least something.

I STAND WITH UKRAINE

I am an Amigo to the Animales and I Stand With Ukraine 

I am Stasya Briggs, my maiden name is Anastasia Zavgorodnaya, I am the founder and CEO of AmigosDeAnimales.org .

As some of you know, I was born in Ukraine, I am half Russian, half Ukrainian, US citizen and permanently live in Mexico.
My immediate family is in Ukraine.

After days and nights of crying and screaming, fear and grief, trips to ER and depression, for me the time has come for action.

www.AmigosDeAnimales.org board of directors of both USA non profit and Canadian charity, as well as the whole Team unanimously voted to fundraise to help Animals and Pet owners in Ukraine.

I feel fortunate, I am not alone , I have support of my whole team and hopefully, support of many wonderful people in this fight.

Amigos de Animales will , of course, continue work and fundraise for our shelter and program in Mexico, nothing will change for our organization.

Today we are starting a separate fundraiser for those who Stand with Ukraine and want to help animals and people there.

Ukraine already has the highest stray dogs population in Eastern Europe and with at least 1.5 million people from their homes , it means millions more of pets have been abandoned. 2.9 million people in Ukraine are already in need of humanitarian assistance, and it means stray and abandoned dogs and cats are starving to death.

Today our priority is a Gostomel Shelter:

Gostomel Shelter located 30 km north of Kiev, a shelter that houses about 700 dogs and cats.

I met Asya Serpinskya, the founder of Gostomel Shelter, about 15 - 20 years ago . I visited her shelter, I brought rescue pups to her shelter, I donated for years before I even started Amigos.

I have a few role models in my life, she is one them …
She is truly an Earth Angel.

Rescue and Shelter life is hard in peaceful times. I know. And it’s a nightmare during the war. A couple days ago a missile fell inside her shelter and some animals died, most survived but unfortunately the structure was seriously damaged. Animals are still there as well as few volunteers - Heroes. Money, food and water are scarce.

SOS Ukraine needs you. People and Animales of Ukraine need you. SOS
