These dogs were already being fed by the first feeding round. Since not all of the dogs could get access to the food I checked on them after doing my second feeding round in the middle of the night. Most dogs were awake and strolling the streets just to keep warm. Only few were sleeping, curled up in the sand to keep warm.

Every night I am feeding around 65 strays. There are so much more to help all over the country. Dogs are eating garbage, plastic and eachother to survive.

Meanwhile the world is preparing for New Year's Eve. Billions are being spent on fireworks. A decadence in the eyes of so much suffering in this world.

These days I have a take away service. The strays are so hungry that I cannot feed them properly at night. Only the dominant dogs will get a fair share. The shyer ones found my home and come for food during daytime.

Femke, the beautiful girl that was recently spayed and her son Fabian. Daughter Florence was not around. Then Billy, a darling of a dog that was dumped in the area. Cat Muti, I am caring for her around 8 years. She also has been spayed. And the puppies Rumi, Rafah and Sila protecting the drive through.

People, I need food! Lots of food. I am the only one in this cruel godforsaken place protecting and feeding the strays in the streets every day. I am volunteering. No costs for transport since I walk with a trolley. The only thing I need is money for food and spaying/neutering.

Who will support these innocent souls?

I am feeding Xandra now for about 4 years. Because she is one of the lowest in rank in her dog pack she could never get a fair share. She somehow managed to survive all these years by finding her own food. But today on a cold and windy day she came to my house begging for food.

People, the situation for the strays is alarming. In times of financial crisis people do not have leftovers. Dogs are extremely hungry. I go out twice a day with my trolley fully packed and still it is not enough to give them all a fair share. In winter the dogs need more food. Now I make a selection. Giving the skinny ones and puppies more. Very hard to achieve this while there are many dogs trying to steal the food. In short it is a battle of survival these days.

Please, don't give up on dogs like Xandra. They need our support.

Prices of food are rising and I am always short on food these days.

Please help these dogs by donating for food and for spaying and neutering.

Update Ricky

Ricky can walk again but slowly. There are still some neurological problems in his paw. It is evident that Ricky can't go back to the streets. Besides his handicap Ricky could not handle the streets. What I see is that 1 out of the 20 strays cannot make it in the streets. The loners, the ones that are not accepted by a pack, and the dogs that are too friendly.

As a puppy Ricky got ill in a shelter and some people living in a villa took him in. He survived but new owners did not want to have baladi dogs and they put Ricky in the streets. I started feeding him and over the past 2 years I fed him every day. Ricky was happy with some friends but it was clear that he wanted to belong to a human. He followed quards of the villa to their homes and this caused that he needed to fight with other packs since he passed their territory. I took care of his wounds several times. Now he was hit by a car and this also shows that he does not have the street skills to avoid dangers.

Ricky is amazing. He has such a beautiful soul. He loves people, he loves to play and to cuddle. He is cute. Never wanted his food from the streets but ate out of my hand. He deserves the best family!

Meanwhile we have to take another xray to see the healing process. So far I did not receive any donation to cover the vet bill and the stay at the clinic. I am feeding around 65 strays every day in the area. I am short on food funds and do not have a budget for medical cases. I can only help these dogs if I get support.

Look at this! Ricky is walking!😍

27/11/2025

You see that awesome guy eating? Well, that's Ricky. Ricky was hit by a car early evening 16 November. According to the results of the x rays the vet told us that there was a 20% chance Ricky could ever walk again. One of his hind legs was paralysed and there was no feeling at all in that leg and his tail.

What was important now that he should not move. In that way he would make the most chance to progress. The vet said if we would not see any changes after a week that it would really look bad .

I had this perfect cage at my place. Big enough to turn and stand but small enough to give the needed restrictions.

Then some days ago he stood up and although not steady he made it to the terrace where he could p*e and p**p. Every day things got a bit better and look at him today, he wagged his tail.

Most important is to keep him quiet in the cage as long as possible to get the best results.

Ricky will stay in the clinic for a while. So far I did not receive any donation to cover the vet bill. Who is willing to support Rjcky on his way to recovery? I don't have reserves for medical cases. All is spent on food to help around 65 stray dogs and cats. Ricky was one of them. Eating out of my hand and asking for a hug before eating. Estimated costs for the first month are around EGP 7,000.

We will give Ricky all the support needed for a full recovery. There is a slight chance he will walk again and we will take that chance for this young boy. Tomorrow he will have a big bench in order to restrict movement. It seems he is feeling a bit better. He ate very well as you can see in the video in the first comment. He is being treated with medication, vitamins and supported by complete bed rest.

So far I spent EGP 1,500 on x rays and examination, EGP 700 on transport and EGP 750 on medication. Tomorrow I will buy him sanitary pads that will cost around EGP 500. I also have to pay the clinic. I estimate the costs per month on EGP 7,000 (Euro 128) all included.

Who will help me with covering these costs?

We went to make x rays of Ricky's lower back and spine. It doesn't look good. He has a fracture in the spine cord. Because one of his hind legs is totally numb we know it is severe. With cage rest there is only 20% chance on recovery.

I stayed with Ricky until I could bring him over to a clinic. Not able to walk after a car accident he is now safe. I could not leave him alone for one minute in the streets because other strays could attack him and he wouldn't be able to protect himself. At the clinic we washed him and we put him on a blanket. It was a bit strange for him among new dogs in a new place. To give him privacy they gave him a big room among some caged cats. So now he has some quiet company. They are taking good care of him at Mercy Hotel. They tried to find a place to make x rays and an ultrasound but could not manage last night. So this will be on the agenda today. He is in pain but we believe not in severe pain. He is alert and paying attention to his surroundings. He is eating and drinking. keep your fingers crossed for this sweet boy. 🤞🧡

Ricky hit by a car. He can't walk. Since 12 o'clock last night I am waiting for help. It happened near my house at 5 pm and nobody told me. People saw what happened but nobody helped the dog or called a vet. We make ourselves comfy with blankets and a scarve to protect Ricky against flies. It's hard to be a stray dog. Thank God he is calm and warm. Singing lullabies. I love this dog immensely. We have this great connection..
❤🧡
