🐄 A New Year Gift of Care – Cow Ambulance for Gau Seva
Jai Shri Krishna 🙏🏻
Radhe Radhe 🙏🏻
As we step into a New Year, we are reminded of the importance of compassion, responsibility, and seva (selfless service).
In Barsana, Mathura (Uttar Pradesh, India), Shri Mataji Gaushala provides shelter, care, and medical support to a very large number of cows, including those that are abandoned, injured, elderly, or rescued from unsafe conditions. Ensuring timely veterinary care is essential to their welfare.
Through Uphaar Seva Welfare Trust (UK Registered Charity No. 1178498), we are raising funds to support the purchase of an additional, dedicated Cow Rescue Ambulance, helping Shri Mataji Gaushala safely rescue and transport injured, sick and unwell cows for urgent medical treatment.
A properly equipped ambulance can help improve emergency response and animal welfare by allowing rescue teams to reach cows in need, provide initial assistance and transport them safely for appropriate veterinary care.
🚑 Our Proposed Cow Ambulance
We aim to support an ambulance equipped with facilities suitable for rescuing and transporting injured cattle, including:
A hydraulic lifting platform to assist with loading.
Suitable lifting equipment for cows unable to stand or walk.
Safe animal transportation facilities, ventilation and secure restraints.
Essential veterinary equipment, first-aid supplies and medicines.
Support for emergency rescue and veterinary assistance.
The final ambulance specifications, supplier and purchase costs will depend on verified quotations, technical safety assessments and requirements confirmed by Shri Mataji Gaushala.
🎯 Fundraising Goal
£15,000 – to contribute towards the purchase and setup of one Cow Ambulance.
This fundraising goal represents a contribution towards the project and may not cover the complete cost of the ambulance, hydraulic lifting mechanism, medical equipment and operational requirements.
Additional fundraising or other sources of funding may be required.
❤️ How Your Donation Will Be Used
Donations will primarily support the purchase and setup of the proposed Cow Ambulance for Shri Mataji Gaushala.
Project expenditure may include:
Ambulance purchase and specialist body conversion.
Hydraulic lifting and animal rescue equipment.
Essential medical equipment and ambulance setup.
Registration, insurance, initial setup and vehicle branding.
Ongoing costs, including fuel, maintenance, rescue personnel, veterinary treatment and medicines, will be separately assessed as part of the project's operational planning.
All donations will be managed by Uphaar Seva Welfare Trust for the charitable purposes described in this appeal, in accordance with applicable charity law and the terms of the donations received.
📋 Important Information About Your Donation
We believe donors should understand how their contributions will be managed.
If we raise less than the amount required:
Donations will remain allocated towards the Cow Ambulance project while we seek additional funding. The charity may combine appeal donations with other available funding to complete the purchase.
If we raise more than the amount required:
After meeting the ambulance purchase and setup costs, any surplus donations will support related Gau Seva activities, such as ambulance running costs, cattle rescue, veterinary treatment, medicines and essential animal welfare equipment.
If the ambulance project cannot proceed:
Funds will instead be used to support the rescue, transportation, medical treatment and welfare of injured, sick, abandoned or vulnerable cattle through Shri Mataji Gaushala, or another suitable Gau Seva project supported by Uphaar Seva Welfare Trust.
These alternative purposes are intended to ensure that donations continue to support closely related charitable Gau Seva activities if circumstances change, subject to any restrictions or rights applying to donations already received.
