A Man with A Big Heart for Animals

“I know a lot of individuals argue with me that animals are less important than humans, why bother? But I’m right to ask myself: what man who hates animals can really love people?”  – Stefan Mandachi

Volunteers step up and offer their hearts (and home) as thousands flee Ukraine and Stefan Mandachi was one of them.

Stefan Mandachi, a businessman who lives in Suceava, a city about 30 miles south of the Siret border, has converted a large ballroom at the hotel he owns into a refugee reception center and is offering private hotel rooms for free to the displaced.

“I feel the need to help, it’s my duty to help,” said Mandachi, who is also offering free food for Ukrainian refugees from his fast-food chain. “I have locals who speak Ukrainian — we are united to help them.” He told the reporter in an interview.

Mandachi stressed that the priority for him is the cases of refugees with dogs or cats and that by Monday an area with 30 pens and cages will be built for the accommodation of “refugee dogs” where about 40-50 animals would enter, if they do not bite, and even if the number is exceeded, solutions will be found for these pets.

He stated that at the request of the authorities he is willing to provide a free event hall of 1,000 square meters.

More people and businesses are pooling resources to provide the refugees with everything they need. Let us all continue to pray every day for peace, for more people to lend support to those in Ukraine.
