Due to severe stress, Mzia developed diabetes. She needs a special diet, but for a poor pensioner, that’s an impossible luxury. These days, she relies on a free social canteen for food. She also suffers from high blood pressure. Grandma Mzia is very shy about asking for help, though she needs so little. This winter, she froze in her apartment – her old heater broke, and she didn’t have the money to replace it. Can we really turn away from this kind and gentle woman? We are her only hope. Don’t leave her in despair – reach out and help her. God will repay you a hundredfold!

Otari has been lying unconscious for six long months. The fact that his heart is still beating is nothing short of a miracle – doctors gave him less than a 1% chance of survival. It all started when a tired man, after a long day of work, drifted off to sleep. During the night, he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage. His brain was starved of oxygen, and Otari fell into a coma—from which he has not woken since. Every time you can help someone, just do it, and rejoice that the Lord has turned your heart toward someone else’s sorrow. That He is answering their prayers through you. That means you are chosen. May you always be blessed. And please—keep remembering those who suffer. Go visit them. That’s where you’ll discover your true worth – as a true Georgian, a great human being, just as the Lord created us to be.

People used to mock Mariam, calling her “crippled.” She can barely drag her feet. She falls constantly and can’t get up without someone’s help. God, what a torment! She needs rehabilitation and massage therapy to ease her suffering, but her family doesn’t even have enough money for food. You will cry when you see the conditions Mariam lives in. There’s no comfort in the house. A rusty metal container serves as a bathroom. She bathes in a basin, often slips and falls. And you can imagine what every fall means for her fragile body. Even to wash her hands, she has to go outside to a faucet. And bending over is nearly impossible for her.
