Look how much happiness there is in the eyes of those you helped, friend!

The couple got a new gas stove. What a miracle! Grandma Oliko doea not need matches anymore. No more struggling with damp matches! And when she saw a washing machine, she hugged the Fund’s staff and even cried with joy. Grandpa Givi used to sleep outside, resting his head on a tree stump – he was so tired of his broken iron bed. Oh, how gladly Grandma Oliko came to bring him back inside when the new beds were assembled: “Lie down, Givi. Get some real rest. Now you can finally sleep like a human being.”

Dear friends of the Fund! Roman has defeated death, but an even harder battle lies ahead. All our efforts will be in vain if he doesn’t complete a full course of rehabilitation. And that’s a long and costly process. Would it be fair for Georgia’s pride – a professional dancer – to spend the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair? That would be a cruel injustice and unbearable suffering for this boy. Now is the time to gather our strength one more time and stand together for Roman. Together, we can achieve even the impossible. Remember — even one lari donated by you can make a real difference in Roman’s recovery.

Dear friends, whether you have medical training or not, from now on we’re going to call you the biggest team of rehabilitation specialists out there. You brought Marina back from the brink by purchasing her a 10-liter oxygen concentrator – and breathing air back into her lungs. You have compassion and humanity—qualities that, sadly, government officials seem to lack. And here’s more good news: Marina’s oxygen saturation level is now 97%! That’s an amazing result! We thank you for your swift help in saving her life. For the first time in a long while, Marina—supported by her daughter – can get out of bed. She now has a special medical bed: high, wide, and with an adjustable backrest. It’s much easier for her to breathe while lying with her head elevated. You even helped prevent bedsores by sending her a special anti-decubitus mattress.

But today, Gio is making the whole house laugh – his sisters, Gabriel, everyone. As the children admire their new mirror-finished table, Gio points out with a grin:
“Two Gios, two Gabis, two Lizis, two Lalis!” At the Fund, we truly believe that the Lord sees your kindness instantly – and your life will surely change for the better. Just look at how happy these children are! And yet, we must share something that may sadden you – though we know most of you will understand. In families like this, living in conditions comparable to those in the poorest regions of Africa, problems never completely go away… Because in our country, corruption and poverty continue to grow.
This family, to whom you’ve already given so much happiness – with so many children and so much joy – now especially needs a proper gas stove and a real bathroom for the kids. The father of the family is seriously ill and unable to do even the basics for his family.… They are now our family, and our responsibility. Thank God for that, dear friends! Because helping a stranger is a gift from God – a gift to our conscience. And now, their joys are ours too. When the children grow up, we’ll celebrate their victories in life together.

Just look how Grandma Mary welcomes the Foundation team! You can hear her singing from the yard! Because now, many of her troubles are finally over! Her soul is singing, rejoicing, and glowing with happiness! This morning, her blood pressure was high. But as soon as we replaced her old door with a sturdy metal-plastic one,
took out the broken wooden couch and chairs, and laid her down like a queen on a brand-new soft bed – she came back to life! All her aches and pains vanished on this beautiful day! With every gift comes a song, a toast, or a poem from Grandma Mary – her heartfelt thank-you for the new furniture, the TV and fridge,
the electric kettle, juicer, groceries, and medicine! Let Grandma Mary’s incredible joy brighten your day too! We thank the Lord for leading us to her home, for giving us the chance to help this kind-hearted grandmother, and for filling our hearts – like cups – with pure joy. May you be blessed – it’s a truly wonderful day! Grandma Mary still needs a portable toilet, medication, a new cane, and a blood pressure monitor. You can follow the link and help right now!

Just look at Tatia and Zaza proudly walking down the street in their new clothes! May no sorrow ever make them cry again! Now they’ll sleep comfortably in their brand-new beds! As soon as they turned on the music on their new TV, Tatia danced the Kartuli! Did you know she can be playful and full of joy when life feels good? Watch her give a fantastic little report on their new fridge, gas stove, and washing machine – she’s a natural! And baby Nini is happily babbling away – she has baby food, diapers, toys… total toddler bliss!

What a joy it is to see how your thoughtful gifts have made this child’s life easier! Look how she smiles on her walks in her new stroller, or when she eats at her special table! For the past two years, she has had access to food, medicine, hot water, physical therapy equipment, and all the care tools she needs. We are so proud of you, friends! Everything you send helps give Mariam a better life. She still needs diapers, medications, groceries, lab tests, and checkups regularly. Every lari you give makes a real difference. Be blessed, let your names be glorious!

What a joy, what a blessing – Artyom has stood on his own for the first time in his life! Pavel, his father: My son, my Artyom – he means everything to me. He is the reason I live. Artyom was born with cerebral palsy, which meant he couldn’t walk.  Watching him struggle – crawling on the floor, unable to sit up on his own, with his hands refusing to obey – broke my heart. Thanks to the Chernovetskyi Fund, which took such great care of us and supported Artyom’s rehabilitation, he has made incredible progress! Artyom can now sit on his own without falling!

Mari (10-year-old): When our house burned down, my sister Ani and I cried so much…Ani: “Everything in this room was a gift from the Fund’s friends!” Ani (10 years-old): Welcome to the room that Mari and I share! Everything you see here is brand new. And the scent of new furniture is amazing! We’ll sleep so well on this soft bed. Our textbooks and school supplies will go in the dresser. The ottomans are so comfortable to sit on. And the big wardrobe is for our clothes. Oh, we have so many new clothes! Let us change and show you. Even the little ones got everything they needed. Luka and Niko are knocking at the door – they want to show off, too. They’re already dressed in their new outfits. “We’re in great spirits! Sending you love and hearts!”

Grandma Lamara: “I want to keep living and enjoying life now that I feel a little better.”. Grandma Lamara: “My dear, look how I’m lying – like a queen! This remote-controlled bed is a true miracle for my old bones. I’ve lived long enough to finally have a comfortable bed! It takes care of me all by itself – it sits me up, lays me down, even lifts my legs. I wish happiness, health, and long life to everyone who saved me from suffering!”. Grandma Lamara: “This bed is a miracle for my old bones. I feel like a queen lying here!”. “It takes such good care of me—sitting me up, laying me down, lifting my legs.”.  “Mom loves matsoni with cottage cheese in a cup,” – Vakhtang, Lamara’s son says. “And a sandwich with boiled condensed milk. I’m about to give her a real feast! Here you are, Mom, enjoy! Look, I’ve filled the whole fridge with dairy products, plus cheeses, sausages, eggs, and canned meat. The Chernovetskyi Fund has some truly amazing friends – amazing! You are saving Georgian families from poverty!”

Alina is just a little girl battling brain cancer. She has eight rounds of chemotherapy ahead of her. There is nothing worse than cancer striking a poor family. This little girl, her sisters, and their baby brother lived in a freezing home with plastic sheets instead of windows. Unable to walk, Alina helplessly crawled on the floor because her family couldn’t afford a wheelchair. Diapers, medications – so many things were needed every single day! – At the most difficult moment, incredible people stood by our side—the friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund, – says Alina’s mother, Serine. You solved our everyday struggles and gave us the strength to keep fighting cancer. God bless all parents of sick children with helpers like you!
