With your gift today you will give something that is truly precious - health. When you invest in the health of animals, you are investing in the health of people and the environment.
From preventing disease, saving a family member, all the way to preventing famine, your donation today will have a ripple affect well beyond tomorrow, or even years from now.
Thank you for choosing Veterinarians Without Borders/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières this holiday season. Thank you for thinking of animals!
It is 100% your choice to donate to any of the programs, but we want to highlight Ukraine. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, relentless bombings have destroyed infrastructure, including heating and power. As cold temperatures arrive across Ukraine, we need your help to ensure that animals can access the food, heat, and critical care they need to survive the winter.
Here are some ways your donation will help...
$25 will provide one crate of blankets to help about 10 animals
$27 will provide two puppies with vaccines they need to survive
$102 will feed both of them for a month
$267 will cover their spay/neuter
$1,500 will provide one of 40 desperately needed generators to keep them warm throughout the winter (including shipping costs)
$2,000 will provide 15 tonnes of wood that shelters can use for heating
Thank you for your generosity!
