OLMSTEAD’S H.O.P.E – Help Our Paws and People Everywhere!
H.O.P.E came alive after we rescued the dying Bonbon kitten in Istanbul in 2020; Olmstead ignited the dream a few months later in the Bronx, NYC.
Olmstead was rescued by Carmen and Little Wanderers NYC on Olmstead Avenue in the Bronx. With a huge list of medical problems from A to Z and so sick in her yard, the journey began.
Driven and inspired by this Bronxy boy, Olmstead showed us what kindness and love can do. Donations and so much love came in from our social media posts, connecting many of us globally. It’s amazing how many hearts were touched. Olmstead changed many lives, especially mine and Kate’s, and we were blessed to be his mommies in the US, serving as his caregivers and nurses.
In many countries, there is lots of misery and suffering, and all are doing their best to help. However, it’s beyond hard to witness; walking away means being a part of this suffering. God willing, we are part of Olmstead’s H.O.P.E from the Bronx to Istanbul, with headquarters in Arnavutköy, Istanbul, Turkey.
We have a small kitty pension and rescue. It operates 24/7, especially in rural areas where life is horrendous for many animals, with sickness, starvation, disease, and constant reproduction leading to more misery.
