For five months, Georgian doctors have been unable to diagnose this unfortunate boy. Giorgi’s time is running out! Five months ago, a completely healthy boy suddenly fell ill, and since then, the sound of death’s footsteps has grown louder and louder in the Ochkhorashvili family. The child is suffocating. He coughs so loudly it seems like his lungs are torn. He has stopped talking and makes sounds as if someone has cut his vocal cords. He can only get food and water through the tube, but he vomits it back out. The oxygen machine is the only thing keeping him alive. But for how long??? The boy’s life timer is on. Turn on the video and you will hear the sounds of death! Father Giorgi and Nikoloz and Gogi’s mother are begging for help to raise money for the trip to Germany for an examination! We will announce the cost of the surgery once we receive the papers! Lord, help! Since there are already very few of us left in Georgia….

This is fourteen-year-old Saba. Confined to a wheelchair, he suffers from terrible pain. Saba has had cerebral palsy since birth and cannot walk. His legs are so severely twisted that he can’t stand on them for even a second. What did this little angel do to deserve such torment? Saba is cut off from the world. Yes, the child is cut off from the world… Oh, how awful those words sound. You live in this world, but you are rejected by it. Just imagining it makes one’s blood run cold.

Two years ago, Saba Saralidze’s mom accidentally discovered that her son was losing his sight. While on a bus, she pointed out the station names on the monitor, but Saba couldn’t see them. He thought that seeing blurry outlines of people and objects—like looking through a frosted glass—was normal. Keratoconus is a treacherous disease, gradually taking away vision. Saba’s condition was dire: he had only 5% vision in his right eye and 30% in his left one! Precious time had been wasted—no Georgian clinic was able to help him. The family’s despair grew, and it was at this moment that they turned to the Chernovetskyi Fund. We’re thrilled to share some great news! Thanks to the efforts of the Fund and its friends, Saba underwent surgery on his right eye in Turkey, and now there’s a chance that his vision will be restored! No Georgian clinic could help Saba, but with the support of the Chernovetskyi Fund, he was successfully operated on in Turkey. Over the next year, his vision should improve from 5% to 70%.

For 18 years, a mother has been feeding her sick son with her own hands. Luka has been intellectually disabled since birth, and he cannot talk – he only makes some sounds. As if the suffering from the illness of one child wasn’t enough, fate dealt another cruel blow to this unfortunate mother – her 5-year-old daughter, Mariam, was diagnosed with an intellectual disability too. Mariam also struggles to talk. This mother, deprived by life, does not have the money to take her children to a doctor. The mother suffers, the children suffer.

Etuna is over the moon with joy! We delayed our departure from Agara just to soak in her boundless happiness. This wonderful and positive girl always needs diapers and food, and her family could use help finishing their bathroom. Thank you, friends, for making this incredible, happy moment possible. The electric wheelchair will dramatically improve Etuna’s quality of life. We would be thrilled if more people could join in supporting her.

You’ve freed Luka from two years of pain and suffering! You’ve given him back the ability to sit and stand normally. After his massages, he will be able to walk like before.
