For a month and a half, he has been operated on for 18 times, 18 time he got anesthesia... His lungs were cut out piece by piece: first one, then another. Now he has a quarter of his lung left.

“If only Giorgi survived. If only he survived! " - the mother of little Giorgi prays every day, and she believes in a miracle!

When 5-year-old Nato rolls her eyes and throws her head back as if her spine is about to break, it looks creepy. And when she screams in pain, it makes your blood curdle.

By helping the poor, the sick and the unfortunate, you lend a helping hand not to them - but TO THE SON OF GOD! “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40)

What emotions do you experience when you see this baby with a piece of meat in his hands - the most luxury thing his family has? Sadness? A pity? Pain? Fear? It's weird, isn’t it?

The loud cry of a 2-year-old baby saved the family from a painful death in the fire! “Thank you, God, that you touched my Mariam with your hand and woke her up!” - the mother of a large family says, - “this is a real miracle ... We were a couple of minutes away from a terrible death - to burn alive - and then ... This loud cry of my baby was like the sound of a fire siren!!! We were already poor then, and now ... Now our whole life has turned into a heap of ash and ruins! "

A life full of hardships! “I don't need anything else, besides my mom would stay alive.” - the handsome boy Giorgi says directly from the entrance, looking with care at his beloved mom.

What is a really big family for you? 4-5 people? Maybe 6? Would you be surprised if we are talking about a family consisting of 8 people living in one room of this dilapidated building?

To see those kind people who helped me to defeat blindness, and in particular, the dearest person in the world – my wife Anna.
