APEL PAPICA pt ANIMALUTELE SALVATE DE VIRGINIA GHITESCU

This is Virginia's story:

In the beginning of last year we met a lovely woman, living in a village near Bucharest. She started by having just a few dogs in her yard, but nearby there was a state ‘shelter’ where dogs were kept in horrible conditions, and sometimes killed. Fed up with hearing the dogs scream every night, she started taking the strays into her yard, to protect them from the dog-catchers. Soon after, people started abandoning dogs and cats in front of her gate, or throwing them directly into h...er yard. The neighbours started physically threatening her and her old mother, calling the police and the sanitary inspection. At the end of last year we managed to buy her a plot of land (3000 sqm) outside of a village, about 40 km from Bucharest, in a more isolated area where the dogs wouldn't bother the neighbours. But we didn't have any more funds to start building a shelter. In March this year the authorities notified her that they will come to take her dogs and put them in a state shelter, where they wouldn't have survived for long. She was forced to leave in the middle of the night with some of her dogs to the new land, whe she built a small enclosure by herself, and slept in the field with the dogs for a few days, until a wonderful lady, Felicia, bought a trailer for her to live in. Since then we managed to build a bigger enclosure and bring the rest of the dogs (there are about 170 dogs at the shelter now), dig a water well and build 12 wooden paddocks for the dogs to protect them from the summer sun and heat. Also in March this year, Magdalina Ileana and Laura Matei heard about Virginia's story, and they started helping her with food collections for the dogs. Unfortunately, after 3-4 collections that went well people stopped showing up, and Laura couldn't help any more due to the lack of time and the fact that she is involved in rescuing other animals. Three months ago we found a much better solution to provide food for the dogs, a pet food factory not far from the shelter, that delivers the food at the shelter as soon as we make the order. The monthly amount necessary is about one tone, and the quality of the food is much better than what we were getting before from the supermarkets for a higher price. So far we managed (with great difficulty) to cover the price of 3 orders of food, with the precious help of Felicia, Magdalina (who is managing this event page and raising donations), Nadia, and a couple of other people that wish to remain anonymous. But every month is a struggle to reach the goal to provide the food for the dogs, and there are many other things that need to be done: treatments for the dogs, vaccinations, and a few of the dogs are not yet neutered. In 2-3 months winter is going to be here, and the shelter is not prepared for that. Virginia lives in a trailer, where she would probably freeze in the winter, and the paddocks are not solid enough to resist through strong winds and snow. We need help quickly to build a heated room for Virginia, to buy wood for the winter, and to reinforce and insulate the paddocks for the dogs. The problem is that our own funds and the donations that we receive can berely cover the monthly food bill for the dogs, so our only hope is to reach more people, and hopefully receive more help, financial or not, any suggestions are welcome. It is hard because we are not an ONG, just a small group of people with our own problems. But we can't abandon Virginia, she is a wonderful, kind, warm-hearted lady, who is suffering only because of her compassion for animals.

Here is a small video that a friend of ours did about Virginia and her story, in the spring of last year, before she was forced to leave her home:

Aceasta este povestea Virginiei:

La inceputul anului trecut am cunoscut o doamna minunata, dintr-un sat de langa Bucuresti. Acum cativa ani avea doar cativa caini in curte, dar in apropiere era un 'adapost' de stat, unde cainii erau tinuti si omorati in conditii groaznice. Nemaisuportand sa le auda tipetele in fiecare noapte, Virginia a inceput sa ia cainii de pe strada in curtea ei, pentru a-i proteja de hingheri. La scurt timp dupa oamenii (nu numai din sat, dar si din Bucuresti) au inceput sa abandoneze caini si pisici in fata portii, sau sa ii arunce in curte peste gard. Vecinii au inceput sa le ameninte fizic pe Virginia si pe mama ei si sa cheme politia si sanepid-ul. Spre sfarsitul anului trecut am reusit sa cumparam un teren de 3000 mp langa un sat, la 40 km de Bucuresti, intr-un loc unde cainii nu deranjeaza nici un vecin. Din pacate am ramas fara fonduri si nu am putut incepe constructia adapostului. In martie anul acesta Virginia a fost instiintata ca a doua zi autoritatile vor veni sa ii ridice cainii si sa ii duca intr-un 'adapost' de stat. A fost nevoita sa plece in mijlocul noptii cu o parte dintre caini pe terenul cumparat de noi si timp de cateva zile a dormit in camp, impreuna cu cainii, intr-o imprejmuire din plasma pe care a montat-o singura. Din fericire o doamna extraordinara, Felicia, a aflat despre situatia ei si i-a cumparat rulota in care traieste si acum. Intre timp am reusit sa construim incet-incet 3 curti pentru caini, o fantana si 12 padocuri din lemn care sa ii protejeze de soare. Tot in martie am inceput sa primit ajutor de la Magdalina Ileana si Laura Matei, care au auzit povestea trista a Virginiei si au inceput sa o ajute organizand colecte de hrana pentru caini. Din pacate dupa 3-4 colecte care au mers bine, doar 2-3 persoane s-au prezentat la urmatoarele, iar Laura s-a retras fin cauza lipsei de timp si a faptului ca ajuta multe alte animale amarate. Din fericire, acum vreo 3 luni am gasit o modalitate mult mai buna de a asigura hrana lunara a cainilor, o fabrica aflata in apropiere de adapost (Nordic Petfood Distribution), care livreaza hrana la adapost imediat ce facem comanda. Hrana lunara necesara pentru cei 170 de caini este cam o tona de mancare uscata, dar calitatea este mult mai buna decat ceea ce cumparam anterior de la supermarket la un pret mai ridicat. Pana acum am reusit (cu greu) sa acoperim 3 comenzi de hrana, cu ajutor nepretuit din partea Feliciei, Magdalinei (care se ocupa de aceasta pagina/event), Nadiei si a catorva alte persoane care doresc sa ramana anonime. Dar in fiecare luna ne chinuim sa strangem banii pentru hrana cainilor, in timp ce sunt multe alte urgente: tratamente de deparazitare interna si externa pentru catei, vaccine, plus cateva dintre femele nu sunt inca sterilizate. In 2-3 luni va veni iarna, iar adapostul nu este pregatit pentru asta. Virginia traieste intr-o rulota, in care probabil ca va ingheta la iarna, iar padocurile nu sunt suficient de solide pentru a rezista la vant puternic si zapada. Avem nevoie de ajutor urgent pentru a construi o incapere izolata, cu soba, pentru Virginia, pentru a cumpara lemne pentru iarna si pentru a izola si consolida padocurile cainilor. Problema este ca fondurile noastre personthat's I donatiile primite lunar acopera cu greu factura pentru hrana cateilor, deci singura speranta ramane sa mobilizam cat mai multe persoane in ajutorul Virginiei, ajutor financiar sau de price alt fel, orice sugestii sunt bine-venite. Este dificil pentru ca nu suntem un ONG, doar un mic grup de oameni, fiecare cu problemele noastre personale. Dar pur si simplu nu o putem abandona pe Virginia, nu dupa ce am cunoscut-o personal, este o doamna minunata, cu un suflet extraordinar, care sufera doar din cauza dragostei fata de niste fiinte amarate, care nu o au decat pe ea pe lume.

Acest mic filmulet cu Virginia si povestea ei a fost facut de o prietena la inceputul anului trecut, inainte de a fi fortata sa isi paraseasca casa: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=413353945394288&set=vb.407466739316342&type=2&theater
