It was complex, exhausting, and filled with hurdles, but together with an incredible team, we pulled off a miracle. For months, the search was on to find a safe haven for Ania, her family, and her 60+ rescued animals (including cows, chickens and goats!). Thanks to the unwavering support of the Nowzad family and Ania’s friends and family, a new home was finally found in the Kirovohrad region — far away from the frontlines of Kramatorsk. The clock was ticking. The whole evac team were waiting f
