How sad is this? This lady lives with a handful of homeless people in an abandoned house in the city of Kiev, Ukraine. She and the homeless people share their house with 70+ stray dogs that the lady cares for. Whilst the lady has a small flat of her own, she chooses to live in the building with no electricity or a heating system because there is enough space for all the dogs.
On the weekends she and a few of the homeless people travel to downtown Kiev to collect money to feed themselves and their dogs. She hopes one days that someone wealthy will see the hardships she’s facing and donate enough money for her to get electricity to the house and to buy enough food.

You know, its thing like this that make me wish I had the money to help.
Amazing how “rich” people who donate money to orphanages tend to overlook things like this. I don’t blame them or anything, I mean it is their money and they can give it to whom ever they wish… but why always to a charity? Why not give it to the homeless?
I guess when you’re in this kind of situation, it’s the pets who give you solace more than anything else. I really do hope wealtheir people give these people something, if not money, maybe a bundle of food or something.
Oh Lord I hope they don’t see the dogs as sustenance when times get really hard. I’m not kidding here, I hope they don’t.
