Every day is a fight for survival for Kristine and her little daughter, Lile! And today, they desperately need your support!  The mother has cancer—her toxic goiter turned into a malignant tumor, but she has no money for medical tests or treatment. Not a single tetri!

Every story of fighting cancer is a story of strength, resilience, and the will to live—of immense faith. Faith that kind people won’t let her die!

Kristine (39 years old): “I am in excruciating pain. It’s unbearable. There are moments when I think about ending it all because I just can’t take it anymore. But then I remember—I am a mother. I have to live for the sake of my child!  She has no one but me! Who will take care of Lile if I’m gone?! We lived in Germany as refugees. After we were deported, we were left with nothing—no home, no money, no documents. My daughter’s passport was lost at the airport. When we returned to Georgia, we had to live on the streets for several days. We had no money for a hotel, so we slept near 24-hour ATMs. That was the hardest ordeal of my life!”

Sofiko is raising three children alone after her divorce. She cannot save enough money to fix the holes in the ceiling.
Her children survive on social allowance, but it’s not even enough for food. Their only hope is you, kind-hearted people!

Sofiko, 44 years old (Mother): “I don’t even know what to worry about more—the fact that our house is falling apart or that my children’s health is getting worse. If the roof isn’t repaired, my children will be left homeless. But if I can’t take care of their health and something happens to them… then what’s the point of having a house at all?”

The children, who have been hungry all day, are eating a piece of bread before bed. Well, calling it “eating” is an overstatement. And you can’t call it food. The children are struggling to take a bite of this stale bread. 6-year-old Emily and 5-year-old Elena are from a large, needy family. You only need to look into their eyes once, and you’ll immediately see that all they get from the state is formal help that doesn’t even provide for a basic standard of living. Emily and Elena caught colds while bathing in this Soviet-era tub during the freezing winter. They have a cough and a high fever. The children don’t even have a single pair of warm clothes. In February, they’re wearing these thin t-shirts. Oh my God, this is horrifying!
