All I want for Christmas...and always...is to help make this world a kinder place.

Every day, we have the chance to treat people and animals with compassion, empathy, and care. For over a decade, working alongside my charity, Wild at Heart Foundation, my life has been dedicated to helping animals in need, particularly the 675 million stray dogs around the world who endure unimaginable hardship and abject cruelty simply trying to survive another day.

I am asking, from the bottom of my heart and every fibre of my being, for your support for my upcoming trip to Ukraine on 22nd February. It will mark four years since the war began...a conflict that has left countless people and animals displaced, abandoned, forgotten and living on the edge of survival.

I’ve been working tirelessly with my Foundation since the onset of this senseless war to helps dogs in such dire need…we have provided isolation units, medical supplies, countless kilos of food for dogs…dogs on the streets, dogs in shelters...life-saving medical care, and funding for sterilisations...to break the cycle of suffering before it begins.

During this upcoming trip, I will personally be working closely with trusted project partners to provide as much support as possible for both the dogs of this war-torn country so desperately in need of our help…and we will assess how we can continue helping both now and in the future. 

My goal is to raise £100,000 to support this life-changing trip to Ukraine. On 22nd February, I will fly to Bucharest and then travel by road for 14 hours to Odessa. 

While there, I will be tirelessly working every day, supporting sterilisation drives, visiting veterinary practices and shelters, providing food and critical veterinary care...and helping wherever animals are in need and requiring love and care. We will work with towns, villages, and communities who are doing everything they can, with unimaginably limited resources, to manage their stray dog populations with dignity and care.

Every single donation...no matter how small...will make a real difference and help me to help those who have so little. It will help bring care, relief...and where there is none, it will bring hope to those who have lost so much.

No one chose this war…but together, we can choose compassion…we can choose kindness.. and we can choose to help...
