Despite a severe hunchback caused by an accident, Margalita can now walk a little with a cane. Her daughter Eka, however, is so weak from anemia she can barely step past the threshold. But joy is powerful medicine and today, we brought them great joy.

Margalita’s face lights up with a smile as a skilled worker throws out rotten window frames and replaces them with brand-new, high-quality plastic ones.

All winter, this frail grandmother trembled from the cold. Snow and freezing winds came right into the house through cracked glass and broken frames. Did this poor woman really deserve such suffering?

Now, that’s all behind her. The workers have installed sturdy new windows and doors – and it’s all thanks to you, dear friends of the Fund!

Eka’s face regains color as she watches Fund staff carry in a table, chairs, a dresser, assemble new beds, and unpack a fridge and TV.

Forgive me, friends, but this could only be called one thing: “The Breath of Death, Closer Than Ever…” Seventeen-year-old Tsitsi, who suffers from epilepsy, prays every night to wake up alive to live just one more day. Because anything could happen: the ceiling might collapse… or her mother might not manage to pull her out of a severe seizure in time.

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.

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)

One look into her eyes is enough to make your whole body tremble. It is a gaze that chills the blood. The last time she ate was two days ago. Today, all she had was a piece of bread. Instead of milk, she drank water. God, this is worse than a nightmare! A child, weakened by cold and hunger, no longer even has the strength to cry.

Exhausted, she couldn’t stand any longer, so she rested her head on her mother’s shoulder and wiped her bitter tears on her mother’s faded sweater. Look at the pain in the mother’s eyes. This is not just physical suffering – it is a wound deep in her soul.

This is 28-year-old Medea. A young woman who is already a mother of two. And now, God has sent her a third angel from heaven. A child is the greatest gift from God. Yes, Medea is four months pregnant.
