Jacqueline Fernandez’s YOLO foundation to help stray animals
Miss Universe Sri Lanka 2006 and Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez recently announced the launch of her ‘You Only Live Once’ foundation to create and share stories of kindness amid the COVID-19 pandemic. She also visited an NGO, Roti Bank, in Mumbai and helped prepare and distribute meals to people. The actress took to Instagram to share a few pictures from her latest social activity.


Now, Jacqueline has announced her initiative of helping the stray animals, through an Instagram post. With her team, the actress hopes to create a movement to resolve the issue of our strays and safeguard their wellbeing.


In the pictures, the beauty queen is seen wearing jeans and a t-shirt with the foundation's logo on it, helping cute cats and kittens. She is wearing a mask and a pair of gloves at all times, just like other volunteers.


Sharing the post she wrote, "My team and I at the Yolo Foundation visited @thefelinefoundation and it opened our eyes to the plethora of issues faced by the people trying to help street cats and strays. The most notable being stigma around sterilisation. Even with all these problems, it was heartwarming to witness the dedication with which the volunteers and the doctors continued with their work. They have treated so many animals till date and have created a safe home for them. They are what one can truly call a #kindnessbrigade. It fills me with joy to share their #storiesofkindness with the world. Together I am confident we can create a movement to resolve the issue of our strays and safeguard their wellbeing 🙏🏻 stay tuned to see how you can do your bit!"
