In May of this year Helping Hands was launched with the primary objective of fundraising to support existing charities for animals. We are a small team of people whose main expertise is fundraising and the care of animals. During this short period we have discovered a vast number of "unsung heroes";
amazing people who are rescuing, caring and homing animals at their own expense and without the support of an established charity. It is now our intention to help these people wherever we can.
We would like to tell you about one such very special person:-
Marina, a young lady originating from Sweden and now living near to Mazarrón, is solely caring for no less than 45 dogs that she has found abandoned and starving, very often sick, some with broken bodies through mal-treatment, or simply puppies abandoned at her gate. She tirelessly cares for these animals, ensuring they are lovingly brought back to good health and continues to look after them until, hopefully, a new, loving, forever home is found. Marina has no support whatsoever. For her, a night out with friends is just not possible. Apart from a long, hard day caring for the dogs, she often has very young puppies to feed throughout the night and is unwilling to leave anything to chance by leaving her home.
Whilst we will be throwing all of our energies into raising financial support for Marina, we are appealing for some physical help for her with the dogs such as walking, cleaning, feeding and general help. If you have a passion for animals, dogs in particular, and have some time that you could give to help this wonderful, dedicated young lady, whether it be an hour, a day or more, you would be very welcome and most appreciated by Marina and the team at Helping Hands.
Your call will be most welcome!
