Dear Animal Lover
Thirty years ago I started India’s first animal rescue centre and hospital. It was originally started for 200 animals. Over the years it has saved thousands of animals, inspired people to start rescue centres, become a training ground for veterinarians and been largely instrumental in removing rabies from Delhi.
All this has been achieved because people like you have contributed to its upkeep. I could not have done this alone. Today, as I write this letter, there are over 2,500 animals in the hospital and over 50 come in every day. We have abandoned animals, accident and illness cases. We have hundreds of cows and buffaloes who come in every week because they are saved by the police from illegal slaughter. We have many people who bring their pets and demand free treatment because they pretend they have found them on the street. We have people who call us at three in the morning because they want to remove a barking dog. We work round the clock.
We get no grants from the government. We are completely dependent on donations. Our services even for the paying customers are the cheapest in India. We have the best dental, ultrasound, x ray and blood lab for animals in Delhi.
But the hospital is simply collapsing under the weight of this pressure. The rains this year have destroyed much of our infrastructure and we simply do not have the ability to carry on like this. I am physically managing the hospital myself in order to effect repairs, employ more doctors and improve the infrastructure to make it more animal friendly. I need your help
I am going to give you a wish list of what we need, in order to continue to help animals. I would be deeply grateful if you could pass the list around and see what can be contributed by you and people you know. Some of these are very small items – some are larger. Instead of a cinema ticket or a birthday celebration you could donate something that would save the life of a helpless creature.
This hospital has been started as a service to the community and the kind people of the community need keep it going. People like you are needed to increase the circle of love.
You know that helping the truly helpless always brings luck. I hope the coming year is truly full of luck and love for you. Thank you again.
Note: If it’s a money donation you can send it in the form of a cheque/draft to People For Animals, 14, Ashoka Road, New Delhi – 110001 and indicate what you would like to be used for. If it is in the form of material/machinery/goods than please could you send/take it to Sanjay Gandhi Animal Care Centre, Opposite Shivaji College, Raja Garden, New Delhi – 110027
With Warm Regards,
