Multi-child family of Lali Melqadze from village Tsnori

This is 10-year-old Elen. Elene was born with a spinal hernia. Her little heart has endured nine rounds of anesthesia. Her first surgery was at just four months old, the second at age four, and the third—just one year ago, at nine. With hope in her heart, she went into her last operation. Tragically, it turned her life upside down. The third operation turned out to be devastating for this little girl. It caused paralysis in her legs, leaving her completely numb below the waist.  Worse still, her legs became so severely deformed that she can no longer bend her knees or walk properly.

At 12 years old, Nikoloz was carefree, playing soccer with other boys, training hard, and living an active life. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until, before an upcoming tournament, a routine medical check revealed a congenital kidney condition—hydronephrosis. Doctors found that his left kidney was completely destroyed, leaving only one option: surgery to remove it.

This is three-year-old Saba. Take a close look at the child’s T-shirt. Even at a landfill, you’d find a T-shirt in better condition than this one. But the most alarming thing is that Saba has a high fever. Sadly, his single mother can’t buy medicine at the pharmacy because of her dire financial situation. Look at him—he’s drinking hot water without sugar or jam. And no, you’re not mistaken—there’s only hot water in that cup. In his other hand, this little angel holds a dry piece of bread. There isn’t even a slice of cheese in the house. The Khubashvili family has five young children. You’ll hardly ever see smiles on their faces. Oh God, oh God! This is so heartbreaking! Kind people! These little angels have been left at the mercy of fate. The most heartbreaking thing is that with each passing day, they are losing faith. We cannot let this happen! Kind people let’s not abandon these children—already abandoned by their father. A long winter with dark, cold days lies ahead. But kindness, care, and love can brighten even the gloomiest days for these little ones.
