With the privilege and luck of having a home and Leo, our doggie son, we knew the lockdown wouldn't impact us. We thought we would spend time together and learn more about each other than we ever have and life would be beautiful.
I am broken...
While I stepped out to get my essentials during the lockdown, I could spot 3 street dogs who were dying out of thirst and hunger.
What started as an attempt to feed these 3 streeties, has now reached close to 21 in just 9 days. I know there are many more and I wish we had the capacity to feed them all.
We feed them chicken, rice, vegetables, and pulses, As they don't have access to clean water we are trying to get old/disposable plastic containers to provide them with water.
Although the lockdown might end on April 14, we are sure that the struggle for these streeties will continue till the end of August 2020 while normalcy restores.
These resources cost around Rs. 419 per day which breaks down to Rs. 20 per day per streetie. The break up is provided below:

Reaching out to you you all to support us in this initiative. This gesture will not only help all the streeties but also will restore the faith in humanity for them and all of us.
In case the amount surpasses our needs, then we will transfer the balance amount to organizations working for street dogs and rescues like VOSD, CARE, ALAI, KRUPA, and PFA.
Either way, please help feed a stray close to your home and keep some water for them each day. This is the only lease of life they need right now and we can provide it to them.

The pack of 21, Lucy, Leo, and Sonam
