Our Story

DONOTCRY's story began on the ancient ghats of Varanasi, where a lifelong dream found its path to reality. Anuradha, a tireless animal welfare advocate from Delhi, has dedicated years to caring for the city's stray dogs. Her daily rounds of feeding, medical care, and love for these street animals led her to envision a systematic way to help them - a network that could bring together people who cared, using technology to save precious lives.

Meanwhile in Detroit, young Anjali had developed her own connection with India's street animals during her visits to her country of origin. On her trips to India, she would spend time helping street animals, independently forming her own bonds with these vulnerable creatures. She felt despair for the plight of stray animals in India and wondered what she could do to help.

During a family visit to India, Anjali met her mother's childhood friend - Anuradha. Anuradha shared her vision of creating a coordinated system to help India's street animals. Anjali immediately recognized the potential in Anuradha's idea, seeing how it aligned with her own passion for helping strays in India.

Inspired by Anuradha's vision, she saw how technology could help bring this dream to life. "This is exactly what these animals need," Anjali said, "and we can help build it together." Her enthusiasm and technical expertise would help transform Anuradha's grassroots experience into a digital platform for change.

From that chance meeting in Delhi, DONOTCRY was born - a bridge between compassionate hearts across continents, using technology to give voice to the voiceless. Built on Anuradha's years of hands-on experience and vision, strengthened by Anjali's passion and technical expertise, DONOTCRY launches as a pioneering initiative to fill a crucial gap in animal welfare. By bringing together animal lovers, veterinarians, and shelters on a single digital platform, it aims to create a coordinated response system that can transform how we help India's street animals in need.
