RESCUE DOES NOT MEAN DAMAGED.<\/h2>\n

It means they have been let down by Humans.<\/h3>\n

In Istanbul, many street heroes and selfless individuals are working constantly to help the street animals. It’s a full-time job without leave. There are so many people I would love to write about; it would break your heart. We cannot help everyone, but our intentions stretch us beyond our limits in every way. They deserve and need serious support, the forgotten ones no one can see. Our thanks to God that they exist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\u2661Egemen<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Meet Egemen, a great supporter of Olmstead\u2019s H.O.P.E. for a while, who has since become a very valuable volunteer with us. We thank you for your commitment and hard work. Egemen is always ready to reach out, even after flying his passengers around the world. Our very own captain goes above and beyond to help with rescues, animals in crisis, translations, and adoptions, all while caring for his own family and cats. We are very blessed. Thank you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u015eaziye is our number one lady in Arnavutk\u00f6y Istanbul. A street hero and mum to all the suffering and abandoned animals. We live in the village with the animals. But it is impossible to keep a cat and a dog at home under Istanbul conditions until my middle son came with a cat, then I started feeding them all on the street. I\u2019ve been feeding as much as I can for about 7 years. We then got a garden, thank goodness. The number of cats and dogs increased there, I tried to support the souls in the roadside and forest areas while. If anyone is sick, I try to help them in their treatment with the support I get from my own means. Its a struggle every day, we never have enough money, so much suffering. We keep going.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u2661 Carmen & Kate<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Carmen is Olmstead\u2019s fairy Godmother. She rescued our boy originally on Olmstead\u2019s Avenue in the Bronx. Having lots of rescues herself, she and Kate, Olmstead\u2019s other mommy, are constantly working to improve and save lives, rehoming and changing lives as street heroes. Kate, on her travels, is constantly looking out for animals in need, touching lives wherever she goes. Every day is a huge struggle, with so many in need and never enough to go around, but our two superheroes give so much. Please support our Bronx project for Olmstead\u2019s H.O.P.E.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u2661 Travelling Brie-Animal Angel<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

I met Brie when she traveled across Istanbul on a bus with a sick cat, Teddy. Then Brie came to Olmstead’s H.O.P.E. at a time when I had to leave Istanbul due to my visa issues. We had one of the worst experiences, absolutely heartbreaking. We had taken into our care beautiful Pon\u00e7ik, he was a hit and run victim and was paralysed. Little angel needed so much care and hospital visits, he had major surgery and everything was full on.Without Brie my heart would be so much worse. It was a very tough time. She kept with the help of \u015eaziye and I\u015fil everything going. Precious Pon\u00e7ik passed away, he had the best care and love ever. We’ll, never forget this. Brie also is a flight volunteer taking cats to their new homes, she is experienced and the best animal angel we know. We thank you beyond words.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u2661Ay\u015fe<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Works @ Olmsteads H.O.P.E a few hours a week and does far more than we could expect. She has lived in the village for 17 years. She is our eyes and ears, feeding the street animals whatever she has. With so many animals constantly coming and going, many are born in terrible conditions and are diseased. Ay\u015fe will let us know and help us locate those in need. She is our stand-in if I am elsewhere during an emergency. Our number one trusted individual, she shines as a light for Olmsteads H.O.P.E. Every village needs an Ay\u015fe. Please support Ay\u015fe with food supplies if you can, helping her to aid our furry street kids in desperate need.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
