Friends, should our Georgian children search for winter clothes in garbage cans?

Kind people, Narek and his poor mother have only one hope now, and that’s you.  This mother and son are true heroes – heroes forgotten by everyone. But not by us!  We won’t forget them, and we won’t abandon them in their time of need. Dear friends, only through your kindness can we turn the painful pages of their story and write a new chapter filled with hope and happiness.  Compassion and love can work miracles!

“I want to survive and stand on my feet for my children! My little ones need their mom! For God’s sake, help me!” – these were the only words Lika could whisper when I visited her in the hospital. With a tracheostomy tube in her throat, it’s hard for her to speak.
We’re reaching out to all of Georgia! Friends, Lika, the mother of three little ones, needs your help. She’s only 22 years old. In May, while eight months pregnant, she contracted chickenpox.  Complications set in, so that her baby didn’t survive, and both her kidneys failed, and nearly all her vital organs stopped functioning. Just look at what the illness has done to this once beautiful young woman—she’s unrecognizable now! There’s such sorrow in her eyes. Lika lost her fourth child and barely escaped with her own life!

Eleven-year-old Nika suffers from severe epileptic seizures, each one like a small brush with death. Where once his intense convulsions occurred once a month, now they strike every other day.  His mother has learned to manage the episodes but lives in constant fear for his life. The family can’t afford medicine or diapers. To leave children without a life-saving pill is to condemn them to torment! Like any other children, Andria, Nika, and Anna deserve to live happily, explore the world, and enjoy a carefree childhood. But they can’t do it without our support.  Help is needed urgently – there’s still time to make a difference, but it’s running out!
