Manveen’s path to HIS started with a heartbreaking incident. While feeding stray dogs in her neighbourhood, one of the pups she cared for met with an accident and suffered severe internal injuries. Despite the best treatment, the little one did not survive. The loss deeply affected her and opened her eyes to the immense suffering animals endure. That day, she resolved to dedicate herself to helping animals in every way possible, providing comfort, care, and love. It was the beginning of her journey as a volunteer at Help in Suffering.
Manveen works in the foster ward, where her mornings begin with cleaning, sanitizing, and preparing a safe environment for the babies. She feeds the infants, while the staff attends to older pups. Once the little ones are nourished, she selects the healthier ones for playtime outdoors-letting them run, bask in the sun, and enjoy toys before they rest again. For those too fragile to go outside, she provides cuddles and comfort indoors, ensuring they feel safe and loved.
A memorable momentOne of Manveen’s most cherished memories is facilitating the adoption of a puppy by a young boy who had recently lost his pet. Struggling with grief, he was advised by his doctor to adopt a companion. When he met the pup, a black-and-white female pup, he instantly bonded with her. The joy on his face and the comfort she brought him was unforgettable. Knowing she had helped create a healing bond between the boy and his new companion filled Manveen with pride and happiness.
Her time in the foster ward has taught Manveen invaluable lessons:
Manveen believes every volunteer can make a difference. “Animals cannot speak or share their pain, but they need all the love we can give. Volunteering is about opening your heart, showing compassion, and being present for them. Even small acts of care can change their lives.”
