The little “Picassos” of the Chernovetskyi Fund visited a toy-making workshop at the “Kodala” company

Beautiful Barbara was born with a rare anomaly – one leg is shorter than the other by as much as 16 centimeters! She would like to run and jump like other children, but the girl can barely walk, leaning on her short leg. Barbara, 9 years old: You know, I love my short leg! Even though it hurts. I get tired quickly; I cannot walk for long, much less run. I hardly leave the house. Moreover, if I do, they carry me in their arms. I feel very sorry for my grandmother, because I’m heavy, she gets tired. Her back hurts afterwards. The Turkish clinic can help the child. The surgeon agreed to perform a complex operation. He gave guarantees that Barbara will not only be able to stand on her feet, but even run and play sports.

There is no greater horror for a loving mother than to watch her child suffer every day and not be able to help! Lamara can’t go a minute without her mother’s help. She is 14 years old, but she can neither walk, nor stand, nor sit. Since childhood, the girl has been confined to a wheelchair and … to her mother. Yes, the poor mother’s lower back is paralyzed, but she is ready to carry her daughter in her arms as long as she lives. Lamara has severe pain in her spine. Her condition is getting worse every day, a hump has started to grow. It hurts her to breathe. If treatment is delayed, her internal organs will be at risk; Scoliosis presses the lungs and can suffocate the child! All the family’s money goes towards their daughter’s treatment. The parents recently sold their only cow to pay for rehabilitation courses. This is vital. The girl started showing good results, learned to hold light objects in her hands. But the excercises had to be stopped because the money ran out. Alas, the family has nothing left to sell. And for a year now there has been no way to take the daughter to the doctor.  The parents turned to our foundation hoping that kind people would not leave them in trouble and would help their daughter continue her rehabilitation course and pay for therapeutic massage!

Badri (father, 54 years old): It was 4 in the morning when we heard a loud crack. I grabbed the sleeping children and ran outside. The day before the tragedy, we decided to move to the next room— perhaps we sensed something bad was coming. We went to sleep with fear, worrying that the ceiling might collapse on us. And the worst happened. Friends, these little angels can melt the hardest of hearts. How could anyone remain indifferent to such a plight?  Eight children are begging us for help. They don’t want to live in these terrible conditions; they just want to go home. Let’s unite and repair the roof for this family, who has given Georgia eight wonderful and decent children.
