We are currently receiving calls for help from mothers with their children and elderly people who urgently need to be picked up at the border and taken to accommodation.

On our site https://warmes-bett.de and in the Refugee Aid Ukraine group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1014203399444702 Jessica Schroth coordinates the offers.

You can also write to us directly (under the post, via WhatsApp, or email: info@fortuna-hilft.de) or post in the group.

What is currently needed/requested:

1. buses, minibuses with drivers*

2. accommodation - private accommodation - e.g. guest rooms or holiday flats - if you have space (how many people can be accommodated, location, contact, pets yes/no)

3. Money for transport (fuel) -> PayPal: info@fortuna-hilft.de „Ukraine“ or Fortuna hilft e.V, IBAN: DE33 5776 1591 1733 5675 00, BIC: GENODED1BNA, VR BANK RheinAhrEifel eG

4. foster homes for animals (dogs - especially large dogs, cats, small animals)

Our Ukrainian contact reports how women, children and elderly people are taken from the fathers of families at the border, say goodbye and go back to war. The fear and despair, especially among the children, is unimaginable.

INFORMATION- ANIMALS IN UKRAINE

Together with Conny from Equitrans and KOMET e.V., we are also organising supplies/solutions for the animals. Here too, transport and care costs (food, vet etc.) are urgently needed.

The animals are released from the enclosures and stables out of sheer desperation.... The panic among the animals is unimaginable...
