Hello!
My name is Victoria and I am from Ruse.
I've been a volunteer for about 10 years and I often foster..
Mostly I take care of babies because it is more care for them and it is hard to find foster homes that feed them at 3pm with milk to keep them warm and serve them.. until they are fed and home..

The story of the 5 ladies is as follows:
According to the vet they visited for tests and external deworming, the babies were born last Friday i.e. on 18.10.2024.

On 19.10.2024 volunteers as well as people caring for the homeless went for a walk in the shelter in Gorni Bogrov, coming out of there they heard skittering...

It turns out that in the garbage container opposite the shelter were thrown in a plastic bag these 5 babies, then 2 days old!
After a flash post by a prominent man..caring for many homeless ...he picks them up and takes them to a woman who cared for them until yesterday(the woman is in poor health)and it is not optimal to have them stay with her.

For the babies we were looking for someone with experience,who could take over the care of the babies,who are fed every 3hrs,stimulated so they can go out and keep warm.
We contacted by phone and as I have many years of experience with babies,yesterday on 23.10.24 the babies were brought from Sofia,to me in Ruse...

Taking care of 5 babies is not only physically but also financially difficult due to the fact that in the process of growth they are fed more and more, which is far from a small expense.
One box of Adapted milk is worth 55lv and lasts for 3 days at this point...
Of course, as they grow, the time for which the food lasts will be shorter and shorter...
Next is feeding with soft food,then starter baby pellets...

Internal deworming and vaccinations...along with which we will be looking for families to adopt them...
All this is connected with a big financial expense...
One deworming per baby is 10 BGN .
Vaccines are 35 BGN
Multiplied by 5...plus the food during that time is an amount that volunteers and foster homes would struggle to raise...
This is the reason why we started a campaign to help the babies...
