Emergency Relief in Mandalay: Shrey's Fundraiser

Right now in Mandalay, Myanmar, animals are suffering in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake—and they need our help.

On March 28, 2025, a massive earthquake struck Myanmar. The devastation is overwhelming—and for the animals, the loss is almost too great to comprehend. Injuries and deaths are expected to reach into the tens or even hundreds of thousands. Many have no one left to look after them.

Let’s Save The Strays International has launched an urgent earthquake relief fundraiser, led by local 6th grader Shrey Bhatia, who is stepping up in a big way for his community service project.

Shrey is raising funds to provide emergency medical care, food, and clean drinking water for animals on the ground in Mandalay—our largest and most active project zone. These are not luxuries—they are the difference between life and death. Starvation cannot wait. Infection cannot wait. We are the only organization there. And we are doing everything we can—but we cannot do it alone.

Shrey, a young changemaker from our own community, has chosen to act—and now we’re asking you to join him.
