I’m Archie, I'm 16 and want to help raise money to help give Aleks - the white tiger from Ukraine - a new forever home at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. My target is to raise £100.

I am making Aleks-bands adjustable bracelets and for each donation of £5 or over we will post one of these handmade bands to you as a thank you (email me your name & address please! info@scarletzebra.co.uk )

All donations of any size will really help this cause and help me reach my fundraising goal of £100, every penny donated goes directly to the charity.

I have has several medical conditions that affect my coordination and fine motor skills so the bands take about half an hour each to make, each one will be made by me and are a mix of black, grey, white and blue to represent Alek's stripes and blue eyes (3 colours will be used at random), there are only a limited number available so please help if you can.

Aleks’s Story

Aleks is a beautiful male White Tiger that has been rescued from some devastating conditions in Kharkiv region. HAU (Helping Animals of Ukraine) found him dehydrated, infested with parasites and exhausted. His inflamed red skin could be seen where his fur had fallen out and he couldn't stand on his hind legs. Aleks' diagnosis looked bleak, with gastrointestinal issues and poor liver and kidney function.

We are desperately raising funds to offer sanctuary for Aleks in Lincolnshire from Ukraine. It's a 1630 mile journey, but one of the most life-changing journey's of Aleks' life to bring him peace, health and safe sanctuary.

Can you help by donating just £1 for Aleks? We know that current inflation is having a huge impact on people in the UK, so every penny donated really will go such a long way to turn around the life of this innocent and desperate animal. Your kindness, no matter how large or small will save Aleks' life.
