November Report of “Social Partnership”

Anna-Maria is crying from the cold. Can you imagine what a mother feels when she sees her children freezing every single day from cold and hunger? It’s nearly impossible to stay warm in their crumbling home. Instead of window glass, they have plastic sheeting. And this while a blizzard has been raging for days in the Gori district. Friends, let’s remind you that the Chernovetskyi Fund continues to collect essential items for those in need. You can share your warmth with those who truly need it, and may God bless you for your kindness! Among those waiting for your help are our new wards: one-year-old Anna-Maria, 7-year-old Barbare, 12-year-old Gio, and 15-year-old Mariam. This winter, they have no warm clothing. Let’s come together to care for these wonderful children!

Eight-year-old Alex was born with a heart defect. He urgently needs serious medical treatment, but his poor mother can’t even afford to take him to a doctor, let alone buy the necessary medications. Alex was only two years old when his father left the family. Since then, the father hasn’t shown the slightest concern for his son’s health. To make matters worse, he heartlessly refuses to pay child support. This is Andria. This poor boy has a tumor affecting a quarter of his brain. Doctors discovered this terrible growth when Andria was just 1 year and 8 months old. But once again, due to extreme poverty, the boy has not received the treatment he desperately needs. His mother couldn’t even afford to buy porridge for her little boy. Andria is now 12 years old, and his health is deteriorating by the day.

As soon as Khatia saw the Fund’s correspondent at her door, she couldn’t hold back her tears and cried out: “I want to get out of bed! Please, help me! Help me!  I will pray for you on my knees every day!” Dear friends, you need to understand—Khatia has been bedridden for over a year, unable to leave her home. Her elderly parents don’t have the strength to lift her and transfer her into a wheelchair. The family’s expenses have skyrocketed: daily care for a bedridden person, prevention of bedsores, diapers, pads, ointments… It’s a situation impossible to manage without outside help.
