Just yesterday, I was a perfectly happy and healthy woman, with my beloved husband and child.
I love all of you too! I have only a little time left, but I’m so afraid to spend my last days on the street like a homeless dog. God will reward you for your kindness, my dear compatriots!

In a small, cold, and damp room sits a man whose life has become an endless chain of suffering. Before you stands a person who has been relentlessly battered by fate, and a dreadful illness has robbed him of both his legs and arms! Only agonizing memories of a once healthy and normal life remain. Fourteen surgeries have transformed him into a living shell – instead of providing healing, the doctors attempted to address his issues with surgical procedures.

“A person should pray not to fall into the hands of these ‘butchers’ in white coats. There’s no escaping them! Look at what they’ve done to me! Butchers in white coats cut me up like a New Year’s pig – says Zviad and shows us his hands and feet… – exclaims Zviad as he shows us his hands and legs, or rather, what remains of them. They sliced me up, he laments. I used to go to doctors with issues, and they sent me under the knife right away. “

Teimuraz seemed to be tortured: they cut off his fingers one by one, then his entire foot, and then both legs… They don’t even torture like that in American horror films! Even the most dangerous prisoners. Teimuraz’s fingers were cut off first, then his foot, then one leg up to the knee, and finally his entire leg. Nine times he lay under the knife, and nine times a man with a heart condition had to say goodbye to his family, since each operation could have been his last! Natela (wife): We went through hell. For two years they tormented my husband, cutting off pieces of him. He has a bad heart and diabetes. And because of these damned anesthesia, his nerves deteriorated. I want to calm him down, but he gets even angrier. He was a healthy man, he always worked, and suddenly he found himself in a wheelchair. How can you not worry? Poverty and disease! Lord, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! And most importantly, medicine so much, but there is no money!

Life for Eka is pain, suffering, and a constant trial for her soul. “The pain is getting worse with each passing day… It feels like thousands of nails being driven into my back simultaneously. Breathing is painful. My spine is so twisted that all my internal organs are deformed. I wonder how they are still functioning. To keep living and not die prematurely, I urgently need to undergo surgery. It will be like my second birth.” But with our income, I could never save up such an amount in three lifetimes. That’s why I addressed you. I know that God will send me the right people through you.’Eka has the most severe form of scoliosis, and her entire body is deformed. While this condition used to bring her only discomfort, now it slowly kills the girl. “This disease spared no one, and Eka is not an exception. People don’t die from scoliosis, but from the complications that accompany this disease. Eka finds it hard to breathe right now, and later, she won’t be able to eat… and what then?

A genetic disease, from which there is no salvation, has engulfed the life of every member of this family. Torment, unbearable suffering, and death – that’s their life script. Three ‘children’ in the family suffer from a terrible disease that takes their lives! The eldest, 29-year-old Zakro, has not gotten out of bed for years, 22-year-old Anna can still move, but with great difficulty. She sits in a chair all day long calmly, and then suddenly cries out… starts hitting herself on the head. Her mother can’t understand what she sees there. Just one year ago, the mother thought that the disease would spare her youngest daughter, but one year ago, the girl started having back pain, and it became difficult for her to walk. Tamara started getting tired quickly. What can a poor mother do? How much longer can her heart endure watching the suffering of her children?

I hope so much that one wonderful day I will wake up and not understand what is happening to me: there is no pain, death has retreated, and I have never been a hunchbacked cripple.” He is a man, and men do not cry. Even when darkness clouds their vision from pain, their lungs shut down, and it is impossible to take a breath. Any cold, even the slightest one, can cost Nike his life. The life of 20-year-old Nike Shubitidze is nothing but suffering.
