Hi everyone,

A few days ago, I came across an anonymous post in a Philippine animal welfare Facebook group about a Husky with a leg injury who urgently needed help.

I immediately reached out to the original poster, hoping they would message me. Thankfully, they did. The person who contacted me was a family member of the dog's owner.

They shared concerns that Angel had not been receiving the care she needed, including inconsistent feeding, untreated injuries, spending most of her time confined to a cage, and little opportunity for exercise. They also said the cage itself had contributed to some of her injuries. As a Husky living in the tropical climate of the Philippines, I was especially worried about her welfare.

The Husky had never even been given a name.
So I named her Angelina Julyie, since she was rescued in July. We call her Angel. Again, it makes me sad when they never had names :/

One of my biggest concerns was that, because she is a Husky and has not been spayed, she could end up in the wrong hands and be used for breeding. I was incredibly grateful that the family member trusted me and accepted my advice not to give or sell her to just anyone.

I immediately organized a rescue mission, arranged pet transportation, and contacted one of the trusted shelters we work with. Its the same shelter caring for Baci and Isabella. They have previously cared for Huskies and have experience with the breed.

The rescue itself wasn't easy. The pet transporter waited for over an hour at a nearby 7-Eleven until it was safe to pick Angel up. Although a payment had already been agreed upon, there were last-minute complications, so everyone waited to ensure the rescue could be completed safely. They wanted money for her unless they would not give her up, so I paid.

Today, Angel is finally safe.
She is now staying at a shelter with plenty of open space where, once she has settled in and received training, she will be able to enjoy the freedom she has been missing for so long.

Her new caregiver shared that Angel almost hurt one of the cats, so for everyone's safety she is currently being kept on a leash while she adjusts to her new surroundings. After spending years confined, it will take time for her to learn, heal, and adapt.

This Wednesday, Angel will be seeing a veterinarian. Until then, her caregiver is cleaning and treating her wounds, making sure she is fed every day, and most importantly, surrounding her with love. ❤️

Even though our non-profit just started this April, Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation have covered for the rescue mission and will be covering for Angel’s medical and all other basic and necessary needs. Majority of our rescued animals in the Philippines are sponsored by us FURever. They have already been abandoned before.. I would not do that to them 💔

If you would like to support Angel's recovery or help us continue rescuing animals like her, I will share our support links.

Thank you for standing with the voiceless.

Hi everyone, I started a fundraiser on GoFundMe and would really appreciate your support. Whether you donate or share the fundraiser, any kind of help counts.

Link to the fundraiser in bio.

Broley is a 6 year old border collie rescued when he was 6 months old during Covid from a farmer who beat him because he wouldn’t work sheep.

Broley has recently started having stomach problems. The first vet appointment we was told he has lumps and bumps in places that shouldn’t be there, which need to be investigated. Currently Broley cannot urinate properly or poop. The vets have given him some antibiotics which haven’t helped and would like him to return for scans, ultrasound and sedation.

i recently lost my job and are unable to pay the vet bill they require to do the test, unfortunately broley hasn’t had insurance so he is not covered.

any help would be greatly appreciated more than you can imagine.

Nothing in this world prepares you for the heartbreak of leaving the hospital with empty arms, leaving your newborn baby behind. The emotional toll of the last few days has completely shattered us.
Our sweet baby boy, Lincoln, was born via a scheduled C-section at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension. He immediately suffered severe breathing complications from pulmonary hypertension and had to be CareFlighted to a level 4 NICU. While he is currently stable, his condition changes by the hour, anything can happen however I remain hopeful his little self is fighting for a full recovery.
We live 38 miles away from the hospital. I am freshly postpartum with zero income, and Lincoln’s dad’s income barely covers our basic rent. We are already facing severe financial hardships just trying to stay by our son's side. We have less than $60 to our name, no emergency fund, and our family car is on the cusp of repossession.
Because Lincoln's condition changes hourly, his dad is facing severe limitations to his work schedule in the coming days, weeks, and potentially months. He cannot work his normal hours while helping our family navigate this crisis, meaning the tiny income we did rely on is now drastically cut.
Being close to Lincoln means everything to us right now. He needs his mother’s touch, his mother's voice, and all the support by his side. I refuse to let our financial crisis keep us from being the parents he desperately needs during the hardest fight of his life.
On top of staying by Lincoln's bedside, it is incredibly important to me that I still provide for and be there for my 7-year-old son the best I can during this time. This is a terrifying experience for him too, and trying to balance the needs of my newborn in the NICU while ensuring my older son feels safe, supported, and loved has stretched our family to the absolute limit.
If you have been a NICU parent, or if you can find it in your heart to help my family in this severe crisis, please consider donating $5 or $10 to help us save our car, keep rent paid, continue to provide for my 7 year old during these arrangements and cover basic lodging/food so we don't have to leave his bedside. Even just sharing our link means the world to us. Thank you so much.

I got called today from the hospital and the doctor, she said Friday she will permit my wife to come home for a week or two it depends on how she will react.

But here comes the disadvantage I have right now, I need a new bed and a special mattress that It inflates and deflates, this helps her not get injured because she's sitting down most of the time ,they have something like that at the hospital

I couldn't find any state-paid physiotherapy nearby that was covered by health insurance.And she needs something like water because that's the only way she'll be able to walk again.

This was unexpected and even though I'm so happy I want to offer her all conditions needed 😭🙏

I will need urinary catheters because I have to do this because it alone does not eliminate everything and because of this, it risks major infections.

With the treatment I think in the end the doctor found a way , but I will ask again tomorrow.

I know how to do this because I received training in the hospital, so I have to do this once every 12 hours.

Again thank you for all your support thanks to you people yesterday she was very happy I cooked her so many dishes I bought her all the things she wanted 😭🩷

Again you can help us in so many ways, not only with money, if you have the possibility, and that will not affect you by anything it will be a huge help .

I will keep you updated about anything I buy, because I feel in debt to you people and I want you to make sure I'm making good use of your help 🙏🥹

I'm so tired because of work, but I have to prepare soup for the little ones 🩷

I love you all because you slowly give me hope and faith 🙏

Hi, I am not sure if I am on the right community, Ill try to post until I reach the right community 😅

⚠️ sensitive photo on the slide

This is our mama bear Nana from the Philippines. She’s 12 years old and she’s been in a lot of battle. And I know she can fight this again because we all know she has been a very strong and brave baby girl.

She happens to have a bed sore around her butt area. It is a bulging muscle and it has been bleeding whenever she pee or poop. We have consulted to the vet 2 weeks ago what we could do about it. The vet prescribed her antibiotics and steroids, he told us that surgery could be an option for her condition. Surgery will definitely help her give comfort but if she happens to be always sleeping on the same side for a long period of time, bedsore will happen again.

She’s a senior dog, still strong enough to stand up and move around but most of the time, she tends not to. Or whenever she’s going somewhere near, she’ll drag her feet instead of walking.

He recommended to give her soft bed (which definitely will be a challenge to us because Nana is not a fan of beds). 3rd pic is one of her fave pose and spot in the house.

Around 5days of taking her meds a part of that muscle turned black and completely fell off, which I think is a good sign. After a week, we went back to the vet for follow up. The bleeding stopped but a big part of the muscle hasn’t come off yet.

I already had a hunch that she’s gonna need a surgery. So I started saving up. I don’t earn much, Im actually surviving with my salary. But for her, I’m trying.

The week we went back to the vet, the doctor wants to do surgery on her. But I don’t have the money yet. The vet said her case is not yet urgent, we can come back next time. He said we could just continue on cleaning the wound for the meantime.

I was cleaning her wound before and after my work. I bought her a panty that could help secure the dressing. She tends to lick it whenever possible which makes the wound worsen.

Doctor said, we need to prepare atleast 10k for the surgery. I have to save up because I dont know if the quotation could go higher.

Unfortunately, Ive noticed last night that the wound starts bleeding again. Doctor said, it will continue to bleed because it requires surgery. So Im trying to book an appointment today (waiting for confirmation).

I’m worried she’ll get infection or could get worse while Im trying to save up. If maybe just maybe. If you have a spare penny to donate, we really appreciate.

I will also keep you updated on this post.

A prayer is a blessing for us too. Thank you for taking your time to read :))

I am 18 and Currently i have a female dog whose leg was broken and first half of her treatment was sponsored fully by another lady and theyve installed rod on her legs and i recently contacted the hospital for consulting for removal of rod they said it might cost near 4-5k as they have to xray and there is some swelling arround the part rod was installed and i dont have any money on me for the treatment of her as most of the money i had which i had was spent on buying medicines for her after the first half of the treatment. I also have a Cat which i met yesterday on the roadside i took him home with me he has a broken front leg and he might also have problem in his jaw as he is not closing it properly and keeps his tongue out of the times, I am also looking for someone to adopt him who can actually take good care of him.

I have several questions regarding the fundraising

1. What do i need to add here for the fundraising like the medical bills or just the picture of injured baby

2. Do i get the babies checked first and then ask for money based on the medical bills or do i first get the money and then get him checked.

If i have to do it the first way how do i manage the money i have to pay to the vet as I dont have any on me right now.

3. If i do it the second way if the treatment costs more than the required money do i have to give it back to the people in the same percentage they donated or i can just buy food for the babies from it.

I normally keep personal matters private, but I wanted to share something meaningful our daughter recently did for our family. But the more we struggle the deeper we get.

After seeing the ongoing challenges that come with my husband’s neurological health struggles — and the realities of caregiving and financial hardship — she created a GoFundMe to help us work toward a more stable living situation and better quality of life.

As many caregivers know, balancing work, medical needs, and daily responsibilities can become overwhelming over time. Her compassion and initiative have meant a great deal to us.

Whether through sharing, encouragement, or support, we are sincerely grateful to everyone who takes a moment to read our story.

I honestly never thought I'd be in a position where I'd have to ask strangers for help but I'm completely out of options and desperate.

My cat urgently needs surgery, and the thought of him being in pain is killing me every day. I'm doing absolutely everything I can, but I just don't have the money.

I recently left a relationship that ended violently, my rent has doubled, and everything has kind of fallen apart at once. I've been selling my belongings on Marketplace, asking old employers if they have any work for additional income, and applying for every job I can find but it's still not enough and I dont know what to do.

I'm so sorry to even be asking this, but if anyone is able to spare anything at all i would be so incredibly grateful. Every cent will go towards his surgery and getting him out of pain. If you can't donate, sharing my fundraiser would mean the world

The vet said its $800AUD (around ,$530US) to put him under and clean his teeth and then remove the infected fang and for his medicine to take home after the surgery.

I wouldn't be doing this unless I genuinely had no other choice. Thank you so much for reading.

He is my baby boy and the only good thing in my life right now and I feel like a complete failure.

Hi, I’m posting on behalf of my friend Fidaa and her family - she’s been having technical difficulties posting so I’m making this post for her and her husband Hashem and their children.
She wrote this and has asked me to share it:

I am writing from Gaza.

My family and I have been living through extremely difficult circumstances. I am trying to raise funds to help cover essential needs, including food, medicine, and basic necessities for my family.

If you are able to help, even a small donation can make a real difference. If you cannot donate, sharing my campaign with others would also mean a lot to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Chuffed campaign here

She’s been having issues with her internet and getting into reddit and figuring out the interface, but I’ll tag her when she can find her username again.

I’ve been talking with her for about a year now and used to manage her fundraiser, though due to personal financial circumstances I’ve been unable to for a while. She is a mother of 4 middle and high school aged children and is doing whatever she can to support them and her husband while also struggling with chronic pain herself and effectively dragging herself along without meds most of the time to take care of her family. Please help her out so she doesn’t have to be doing all of this on her own!

Thank you all so much!

Hello

I’m reaching out to you to ask if you could share or donate. I’m 11 years sober, but unfortunately my years of drinking have destroyed my teeth. The fund raiser is to fund implants for me. I’m BiPolar and the depression from not being able to eat is debilitating. If you could help with this small ask that would be great, but I understand if not. Take care. Link below.
