How you can support affected people and animals

As we watch the devastation of war unfold in Ukraine, many in the veterinary community are asking how we can help. Through the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), you can now find helpful information about organizations providing emergency relief and support to those affected, including veterinary teams and the animals they care for.

The reports coming out of Ukraine are heart-wrenching, describing injury, food shortages, and damage to homes and facilities. As hundreds of thousands of residents flee the country, the number of displaced animals also grows, along with the need for food, shelter, and emergency veterinary care. The animals and people of Ukraine need help.

The AVMF, AVMA’s charitable foundation, is working to identify reputable organizations that are mobilizing to send emergency relief. Visit the AVMF’s Disaster relief in Ukraine page to connect with humanitarian organizations, veterinary groups, and animal charities that are supporting those in need.

list of relief organizations

I went to see if I could donate, but when directed to the Ukrainian VMA site, I was sad to see there wasn’t a translation so that I could help

Response

If you put the website into Google chrome you can add the Google translate extension which will allow you to translate any website

Ukraine disaster relief - direct help

I have just sent a message to the above suggested site because it is all in Ukrainian.

What I wrote is as follows:

"Hi, There are a bunch of Americans that want to help out however they can. Accept they need an a website in English. Perhaps a Google Translate button added to this site?
Here is a link to where you might add how we can help: you.https://www.avma.org/blog/disaster-relief-ukraine"
