Friends, recently Shalva got a real opportunity for recovery! Shalva: I've waited and dreamt of this surgery my entire life! Even the kindest person in the world, walking on their own two legs, can't understand the suffering I endured in anticipation. When I turned 14 and the doctor said I could stand up, every night I dreamed of walking with friends and enjoying life. But now I'm 16! The surgery costs $8,000, and my grandmother and I can't gather that amount. Unless we kneel and beg, beg for it to be done for free! Yet, everyone says it's impossible!" If we don't help today, Georgia will lose another young and talented compatriot! There is real hope for recovery!
