A quick recap from tonight’s protest 💙

We came together for the island we all love so deeply, for its people, its animals, its land, and its future.

For better fire prevention and protection.
For supporting the producers who have lost so much.
For the animals who deserve freedom, dignity and protection.

Different voices, one island, one shared hope: to protect Paros and make it better. 🇬🇷🧿

Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke up and stood together tonight. 🙏 taken in Paros Island, Greece by @kimannoula

Today, students from Indiana University came to Mesovounia to film a mini-documentary about the sanctuary, the animals, and the life we’re building here on Paros. 🤍

It’s always surreal to see people travel across the world to tell these stories, stories of rescue, healing, nature, and starting over.

This documentary program brings students to Greece every couple of years to create nonfiction films and cultural storytelling projects, combining filmmaking with real human experiences. Feeling very grateful and honoured that Mesovounia became part of that journey today.

I haven’t asked for donations in a long time because I’ve been trying to carry everything myself while working two jobs outside of the sanctuary to pay for my own personal bills.

But right now, Mesovounia truly needs help 🤍

For those who don’t know, Mesovounia is a non-profit animal sanctuary in Paros, Greece, caring for around 60 rescued animals. Every donation goes directly toward the animals, their safety, food, shelter, medical care, and improving their quality of life.

Over the past months, the costs have become overwhelming.

We are currently rebuilding and strengthening fencing and shelter areas to make everything safer and more sustainable long-term. I underestimated how much material would be needed, and after advice from Gallagher, we upgraded parts of the electric fencing system to make it stronger and safer for the animals.

Some of the old materials also turned out to be unusable, meaning many things had to be replaced completely.

Current urgent costs approximately include:

• Electric fencing & materials: €1,400 remaining
• Wood & fencing supplies: approx. €2,000
• Straw bales: approx. €2,000
• Animal feed, alfalfa & musli: approx. €2,300
• Water bills & repairs: approx. €1,000

Total urgent need: approximately €8,000–€9,000

This number is difficult to share because I never want people to feel pressured. But the reality is that caring for 60 animals comes with constant expenses, and lately it has simply become too much to manage alone.

The positive side is that beautiful things are also happening. Volunteers are coming next month to help physically at the sanctuary, a possible carpenter from the Netherlands may come help build and repair, and kind people continue stepping in to support this place little by little.

I am deeply grateful for every person who helps us continue.

If you would like to support Mesovounia — whether through a donation, sharing this post, volunteering, or simply helping us reach more people — it would truly mean the world to us and to the animals here 🤍

Every euro goes directly to the animals.

They’re finally safe at home where they belong. 🤍
So grateful to @panagiwtis.anast for helping me catch them and bring them here safely, and to @annika_jjuul for helping me choose their names. ✨

Moments like these remind me why I keep going, even on the hard days.

Also… if there’s a kind groomer, barber, or hairstylist who’d like to help me out right now, please send me a message. 🤍

With love,
Kim from Mesovounia Sanctuary taken in Paros Island - Greece by @kimannoula
