Research Shows: One Lazy Day a Week Can Reduce Stress, Improve Mental Health, and Extend Life

Look into the eyes of these innocent children – and let compassion fill your heart! Meet the Papuashvili family from the village of Gomi in the Khashuri Municipality – one of the many vulnerable families we support. Can you imagine a household with two small children having absolutely nothing? No beds, no refrigerator, no washing machine, no gas stove, no television. Even the house they live in is rented. The roof leaks so badly that when it rains, water pours inside just like it does outside. They pay 300 GEL a month for this shelter – almost half of their entire social allowance. At the Fund, we believe these girls will grow up and do great things for our beloved Georgia. They will raise strong sons for this country – and most importantly, they will never forget your kindness. We’re certain that help will come to this struggling home very soon. And right now, they need it more than ever. The children are waiting for your support. Think back – how many kind things have you done lately? And if there’s something you’ve been meaning to do – let it be today. Kindness adds years to life.

Gio suffers from severe scoliosis. His spine is twisted at a 90-degree angle. The curve has created a large hump that presses so hard on his lungs, doctors are amazed he can breathe at all. He urgently needs surgery. But his family simply cannot afford it. Just before we said goodbye, Gio turned to us and pleaded, “Please tell your Fund’s friends – I really want to live!” 
Dear donors, during a meeting at our Fund, we decided to help cover the boy’s medical examinations, medications, and dental treatment. Perhaps, friends, you may also have ideas or suggestions on how we can support this family through the nightmare they’re living… Write to us—we’ll carefully consider every message. All hope now lies in the help we can offer together. Please, make a donation today through the Chernovetskyi Fund’s website. Help Gio. He’s in agony – and you have the power to help end his pain.

Thirty-eight-year-old Anna walks with her son every day and evening in that same rusted wheelchair – with no back support. Her heart breaks knowing she can’t afford a proper wheelchair. Her husband left seven years ago and has never once asked about his son’s condition.

Anna, 38 (Mate’s mom): Our only income is 200 lari of social allowance and 425 lari of Mate’s disability pension. What should I spend it on – food, diapers, medicine, or rehabilitation?” I can’t even afford buying a decent wheelchair with back support for my son.

Mate can barely move by this rusty and falling apart wheelchair… How can the local authorities watch this child suffer and do nothing? Why did they take those jobs – just to collect a paycheck?
