Gagnidze Family doesn´t know how to survive the winter!

Look at this little angel, crying bitter, heartbreaking tears. Do you think she’s crying because she dropped a toy or wants candy? Oh, if only that were the case. This little girl is crying because her bottle is empty, and she’s still hungry. Yes, still hungry. But… God, it’s so hard to write these words. In fact, words aren’t even needed—these pictures say more than words ever could. This is the Manukyan family. Seven little children… Seven little angels sent to Earth by God. Seven pairs of sad, innocent eyes. Why? Why? How can this world bear so much injustice? Some people have so much that they’ve lost even the ability to find joy in it. Meanwhile, others dream of nothing more than a warm bed. Kind-hearted people, the children’s biggest dream is to finish covering the greenhouse. If these hardworking children had a functioning greenhouse, they could grow enough food not just for their family but even to sell some. The Manukyan family would have a steady income, and maybe one day, one of these children will grow up to become an entrepreneur and help other needy families. But until that day comes, we need to extend a helping hand to the Manukyan family. These angelic children will never forget your kindness. And years from now, in a world beyond this one, we will stand before the Lord, and God the Father will open the doors to His Kingdom, where we will forever rest under His grace.

Their living conditions are heartbreaking. The woman, who suffers from spine issues, sleeps on a wooden couch; they need beds, mattresses, and warm clothing. The roof leaks so badly that during rain, water pours inside as if they were outdoors. The windows are old, broken, and drafty, making the room freezing cold. They don’t have a heater or firewood; a kind neighbor lent them a heater, but they must return it in ten days, and they’ll be left shivering.  If they fall ill, they won’t have money for fever medicine. Winter is approaching, the weather is worsening, and rain is frequent, making it harder for them to leave the house. Nona and Nino don’t even own warm jackets!  Our support is more crucial than ever for these two vulnerable women. They are waiting for the support of Chernovetskyi Fund friends.  Let’s help them through the winter – let’s give them a chance at life.

This is Angelina, an 11-year-old girl – delicate and beautiful, like an angel. But if you look into her eyes just once, you will feel her suffering.  She was operated on twice, and part of her intestine was removed, yet doctors still haven’t confirmed a diagnosis. She needs another surgery to remove the painful growth you see on her stomach. One growth has already been removed. If we unite, these little angels won’t have to sit in a cold, dark room during the freezing winter nights. Yes, winter is coming soon, and the sun’s warmth will no longer be enough for these poor sisters. Kind people – let’s not leave sick Angelina and her sisters in such dire straits.

Friends, Murman needs long-term rehabilitation. But the family, now without their only breadwinner, has no money for this. They’re surviving on social allowance and disability payments, barely enough to cover his medications and essentials like adult diapers. Murman’s wife doesn’t even have the money for a taxi to take him to therapy. It may seem like someone who’s bedridden doesn’t need much, but in reality, the opposite is true. Every month, Murman needs medication, special care supplies, and an anti-bedsore mattress. His wife is at his side 24/7 and can’t work, so she’s unable to meet all these needs alone. Your support is crucial! Your prayers mean so much. Let’s wish Murman strength and his wife patience and love, because love can work miracles. May God bless you!

Kind people, Narek and his poor mother have only one hope now, and that’s you.  This mother and son are true heroes – heroes forgotten by everyone. But not by us!  We won’t forget them, and we won’t abandon them in their time of need. Dear friends, only through your kindness can we turn the painful pages of their story and write a new chapter filled with hope and happiness.  Compassion and love can work miracles!

“I want to survive and stand on my feet for my children! My little ones need their mom! For God’s sake, help me!” – these were the only words Lika could whisper when I visited her in the hospital. With a tracheostomy tube in her throat, it’s hard for her to speak.
We’re reaching out to all of Georgia! Friends, Lika, the mother of three little ones, needs your help. She’s only 22 years old. In May, while eight months pregnant, she contracted chickenpox.  Complications set in, so that her baby didn’t survive, and both her kidneys failed, and nearly all her vital organs stopped functioning. Just look at what the illness has done to this once beautiful young woman—she’s unrecognizable now! There’s such sorrow in her eyes. Lika lost her fourth child and barely escaped with her own life!

Eleven-year-old Nika suffers from severe epileptic seizures, each one like a small brush with death. Where once his intense convulsions occurred once a month, now they strike every other day.  His mother has learned to manage the episodes but lives in constant fear for his life. The family can’t afford medicine or diapers. To leave children without a life-saving pill is to condemn them to torment! Like any other children, Andria, Nika, and Anna deserve to live happily, explore the world, and enjoy a carefree childhood. But they can’t do it without our support.  Help is needed urgently – there’s still time to make a difference, but it’s running out!

This is 7-year-old Alina. Look at these photos and you will immediately understand that the little angel is fighting death with all her might. The girl does not give up, but her little heart can no longer stand it. She can no longer endure this. Who knows, maybe one day she will surrender to death forever. No!!! No!!! We must not allow this! We must not leave the little girl alone in the face of death, otherwise we will never forgive ourselves. Alina’s kind heart will forgive us, but our conscience will never, never forgive us. Kind people, pray for Alina. Prayer has the greatest power. Whoever can, lend a helping hand to the Ambartsumyan family, and this kindness will definitely come back to you. Little Alina must live! The girl’s dim eyes must shine brightly again!

Mariam miraculously survived a horrific car accident. It was a fateful taxi ride, and another car crashed into theirs at high speed. Two people died on the spot, and doctors can say they pieced the young woman back together. Most of her vital organs were damaged, and she had to have her spleen and gallbladder removed. Look at these horrific photos from the accident scene! Mariam says she is under God’s protection—how else could she have survived? But another blow awaited her: doctors discovered tumors in Mariam’s spleen. She endures excruciating pain that worsens every day, yet she holds back her tears. The family lives in extreme poverty, relying solely on social allowance.  There is no money for medications or exams.

Look at this little angel, how beautiful she is. Her eyes are so deep, so full of expression…  Just one glance into Anna-Maria’s eyes, is enough to feel that her little heart is full of kindness. Yet a cruel fate threatens to stop this kind heart beating orever. We can’t let that happen! No! Kind people, besides the fact that Anna-Maria’s surgery couldn’t be planned due to financial hardship, her mother now faces another big problem. There’s no one to stay with the child while she goes to the clinic to collect the documents needed for her surgery. If you’re reading this, and you’re a nursing student, a medical student, or simply someone with a compassionate heart, please consider giving Anna-Maria just a few hours of your time. This kindness will return to you in the most difficult moments of your life. Kindness never disappears without a trace!

You’ll be shocked when you hear what happened to this young woman: Irma was healthy and working as a nanny. One fateful day, she went to bed as usual, but when she woke up, she couldn’t move. She was paralyzed. Poor thing! She was bedridden for nine months, trapped in agony and helplessness. Doctors diagnosed her with spondylosis—a severe spine condition.  To afford her surgery, her husband sold every valuable they owned. A woman whose life is now endless pain and suffering, and a man who has devoted his life entirely to her. God sent Irma not only a difficult trial but also a guardian angel in her husband, Avtandil. His selflessness is awe-inspiring.  Caring for a bedridden, severely ill wife, endless medications, rehabilitation, sleepless nights… and this has gone on for four years now. His love seems boundless. Irma’s world is now confined to four walls. But everything could change—with your help!  To ease her condition, she urgently needs medical exams and supportive therapy with costly medications. Regular rehabilitation is also essential to help her walk. Irma can live without pain. Give her hope!

Our help can work a miracle for these parents, who can’t imagine life without their son. How much suffering the Kavtaradze family has endured!  Nikusha’s father is a second category disabled. When he was four years old, an accident deprived him of an eye. Mom has an aneurysm. She often faints and suffers from headaches. Nikusha had an older sister, Liza, but the family lost her when she was just three months old due to a severe case of the flu. There are now four children in the family. 

The greatest tragedy captured in a single photograph—this angelic little girl caresses her bedridden uncle and pleads for him to get better soon. In her other hand, she holds a picture of her deceased father. She doesn’t yet understand the meaning of the word “death”. Anano can’t comprehend why her father hasn’t come home or why he no longer showers her with affection. When the Fund’s correspondent visited their home, the happy child asked the “stranger auntie,” “Is Daddy coming home soon?” Oh God, how hard it is to hear those words from a child! Kind people, we cannot bring back the father of this 4-year-old girl, but we can save her uncle. He can become a father to Anano and, most importantly, he can still become a father himself. Only you, kind people, can turn the sound of mourning into the joyful ringing of a new family’s happiness—a family made up of a 21-year-old girl and a 24-year-old boy. The clock is ticking!  Every minute counts!

When Otar and Tsiuri got married, they often pictured themselves 40 years down the line, laughing joyfully together. The newlyweds envisioned their old age in a warm home, with a cup of hot tea, surrounded by children and grandchildren. They dreamed of a sweet old age, but life’s twists and turns took this couple down a very different path. Get ready, because what I’m about to share will make your soul weep.

Miraida is only 14 years old, and her life has been a series of heavy trials. First, she lost her father and became an orphan. Now, she is facing a terrifying illness—stomach cancer. Miraida endures everything patiently: the IV drips, the injections, and the painful dressings. How does she find the strength to fight in her exhausted body? She was being treated in Georgia, but after her condition worsened, she was transferred to a clinic in Turkey. Now, she is undergoing chemotherapy there. Miraida is tired of hospitals and dreams of one day living like other children. She is so weak that she couldn’t speak with our correspondent. Her mother tearfully shared that Miraida struggles with chemotherapy: she can’t eat or drink.

Beso started collecting scrap metal at the age of 10, right after his father passed away. Now, because of his health problems, he can’t find a job—he suffers from epilepsy. Heavy work triggers severe seizures. Passersby have found this poor man unconscious in the street many times. But he keeps going back to the dump for the sake of his children! Because if he doesn’t, there’s no one else to feed and clothe them. His youngest daughter, Elene, is just four months old! She doesn’t even have a stroller.

Mariam has a severe form of cerebral palsy. She’s eight years old, and for eight years, the family has suffered alongside her. She doesn’t talk, can’t walk, and is confined to a wheelchair. Medea: “Since birth, she hasn’t been able to see or hear. She cried constantly, day and night. We’ve raised her through suffering.  Many people advised us to abandon the sick child, but we never even considered doing so. As long as my husband and I are alive, we will be by our daughter’s side.” Mariam has such severe convulsions that her mother fears she might break her bones. Can you imagine the pain and suffering this little girl endures? Not every adult could bear it!

Dear readers, can you imagine how much goodness and love for God this little girl’s heart holds? Even though she doesn’t even have dry bread, she’s still grateful to the Lord, and her small heart is filled with His love. How many people are there in this world who have everything, but whose hearts are empty, devoid of goodness and God’s love? Kind people, for the little Khutsidze children, you are the image of God on earth. Don’t let them lose this view of you. Let’s turn the small spark of hope in their hearts into a big flame. Let’s see at least a tiny star shine in the fading eyes of these little angels.

Sofio, Mom (38-year-old): “My husband is currently in prison. I reported him to the police for domestic violence. He tormented me and constantly beat me in front of the children. Now, I can’t go to work because there’s no one to take care of the little ones. I have to save on groceries just to pay the rent. Right now, the most important thing for me is to make sure my little angels have a roof over their heads and that they don’t end up on the street.” Make any donation right now. Support this family through their hard times and give them a chance at a life with less pain and more happiness, light, and kindness. The future of these wonderful children depends on you!

Don’t think this photo is a scene from a TV drama.  Unfortunately, this is reality, and it is happening in our small country.  Twelve-year-old Megi burst into tears when she saw a Fund’s correspondent come to her home. This little girl began to tell such a tragic story about her family that one could think she was recounting a tragic film plot. Malicious death took away her beloved brother soon after birth, and now it is trying to take his twin brother, three-year-old Zuka. The cursed poverty turns death against him even more. The Pipia family is living in hell.

This is the horrible scene we witnessed when we visited the Javellidze family. 11-year-old Mariam had so severe attack, she couldn’t even breathe. Thank God, kind neighbors rushed in and helped her mother revive the poor child. Mariam’s mom is a group 2 disabled person. Do you think these terrifying attacks are the only problem this girl faces? Unfortunately, no. Brace yourself, now I have to tell you the worst part. This little girl has a disease that usually doesn’t occur in children her age. At just 11 years old, Mariam has a severe form of diabetes. This horrible disease started one year ago. But what I’m about to tell you will chill you to the bone. This 11-year-old child injects herself with insulin every day. God, it’s unbelievable!

Wherever the girls go, the twins—Lazare and Gio—are right behind! Don’t think they’re too little to take part in everything!
Clear the way to the gate so they can watch the uncles bringing in the new gas stove, or they’ll start such a fuss that everyone in the yard will know about it! And to make sure the twins can reach and touch all the new things, someone has to carry them around. Got it? “To the new fridge!” Lazare points, and his sisters rush over, carrying him along. “To the new cabinet!” Gio demands, and they open it up, letting him sit inside for a bit. That’s how it went the whole day while the Fund delivered the aid. Mariam, Shorena, Khatia, Barbare, and Ani carried their little brothers around, showing them everything—and sharing the joy with all their hearts.

Every time Gela experiences an attack, he feels like he’s saying goodbye to life.  The ambulance might not make it in time to save him.   He struggles to breathe, unable to take even a single breath in or out. An oxygen concentrator is Gela’s only chance to survive, but he doesn’t have the money to buy one. His disability pension and 30-lari social allowance can’t even cover the medications cost. Every time he has an attack, the ambulance team has to come and revive him. Friends, Gela doesn’t remember a single joyful day in his life.  He was in fourth grade when his mother got sick, and he had to take on the responsibility of caring for the family.   This little boy milked a cow and cooked meals all by himself. He’s been through so much hardship and deserves a peaceful old age and the most basic comfort.  There’s no one else he can turn to but us!  Together, we can give Gela a chance to keep living!

Every parent knows that nothing is more terrifying than seeing your own child suffer from an illness. Watching your baby in pain and being powerless to help is unbearable. We urge you to hear the plea of a mother desperately seeking help.  There is no stronger bond than that between a mother and her child. Don’t pass by. Don’t wait for someone else to help. Your support could be the real chance to save this little boy’s life. Let’s help this young, close-knit family! Together, we can work a miracle for Lazare and give him the chance to walk on his own legs!

The life of a young woman, Inga, and her three small sons has turned into a struggle for survival. Six months ago, the family lost their sole breadwinner. An instant death from a blood clot took away the children’s beloved father. He was the cemetery caretaker. Although the family lived modestly, the children lacked for nothing. Inga, the mother (39 years old): “It’s very hard for me to cope alone; it’s unbearable. But now I have to be both a mother and a father to my children. There is no other way. When my husband was by my side, I felt strong. Together, we easily handled any problems. It’s very hard for us to be without him. He was a wonderful father and husband. How sad that Maho – a kind-hearted man – left this world so early. May God take him into paradise.” Now, month to month, the family lives on social allowance and the pension for their asthmatic child. This barely covers food and medications. Giorgi needs expensive medications every month.

“Lord, help me survive for the sake of my children,” Koba repeats over and over again. The man has brain cancer, and he is tormented by terrible headaches. A giant tumor already occupies 90 percent of his brain. His condition worsens with each passing day. He needs urgent surgery. This is the only chance for him to survive, and we cannot miss it if we want to save the man! May these words reach your hearts and echo with kind actions! Any help you provide will increase Koba’s chances of recovery! Please help save his life! Time is not on his side right now, but we can change this, as there is treatment. We just need to help him get through it!

In 2017, 64-year-old Tiniko had a cancerous tumor removed from her bladder, but no money was left for follow-up checkups or tests for the poor woman! Instead, they gave her construction materials so she wouldn’t die early under the ruins of her house—a house worse and more terrifying than anything we’ve seen in all our years of work! Oh, and they gave her 50 lari a month to live on! Just look at this crooked shack, standing on rotten beams. Now imagine, for a second, this elderly woman being tasked with rebuilding her house. Such care, right? Oh Lord, Lord, don’t judge harshly those who do not know you! Read this post to the end, and feel this tragedy with your heart, kind people!

When he was just a month and a half old, he had heart surgery. However, it wasn’t enough. The child’s condition is still critical, and according to doctors, he may need a second, more complex surgery, which requires further tests. The poor single mother doesn’t have the money to take them to the doctor. What I’m about to tell you, dear readers, is truly horrifying, and it is very hard for me to write these words, but you need to know this.  The twin brothers have only one teat, and when they both cry at the same time, their mother has to take turns giving it to them. God, just the thought of this is enough to drive someone mad.

Elene, 7 years old.
Diagnosis: Hydrocephalus, Spina Bifida.
What help is needed: Surgery in Turkey
Surgery cost: $15,000
Illness doesn’t ask permission to come—it strikes children, adults, regardless of age. It enters a family, dividing life into “before” and “after”… It brings fear, pain, and uncertainty. No one is immune to it… And it’s so important that kind people are nearby at such moments. We thank you, Lord, for sending us this beautiful child, little Elene.  Thank you for giving us a chance to save her from pain and endless suffering! Please help! And soon, you’ll see the result of your kindness!  

Look at this photo! For a moment, it might seem as though someone opened a grave and photographed someone long deceased. But 43-year-old Indira is still alive. Her heart still beats. But this young woman is being consumed alive by stage four cancer. Two years ago, while pregnant with her third child, she was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. She was operated on fifteen times in just a month and a half. God, it’s hard to believe. Since June, she’s been unconscious in intensive care.
