As soon as Khatia saw the Fund’s correspondent at her door, she couldn’t hold back her tears and cried out: “I want to get out of bed! Please, help me! Help me!  I will pray for you on my knees every day!” Dear friends, you need to understand—Khatia has been bedridden for over a year, unable to leave her home. Her elderly parents don’t have the strength to lift her and transfer her into a wheelchair. The family’s expenses have skyrocketed: daily care for a bedridden person, prevention of bedsores, diapers, pads, ointments… It’s a situation impossible to manage without outside help.

Gio has been in a coma for three months. The only sign of life he shows is opening and closing his eyes. Just think how unbearable this is—a 21-year-old man has to spend his days in a hospital bed, breathing through a machine. He receives food and water through a feeding tube. But the worst part is the seizures tormenting Gio. They’re so severe they twist his arms and legs. How does he endure such suffering? How does he manage to survive? His mother is by his side 24/7, holding him tightly until each seizure passes. Heartbroken, she clings to her son’s hand and constantly talks to him, hoping he can hear her: “Gio, my son! Wake up!” Gio’s young and happy life was shattered in an instant. On September 15, 2024, he was involved in a horrific accident in Germany, where he had gone to work.  Multiple injuries to his body and organs weren’t as devastating as the blow to his chest. His heart stopped. No one gave him a chance—no guarantees, no false hopes. Doctors told his parents to pray for a miracle. And the miracle happened. Gio managed to survive. German managed to bring the boy back from the brink of death. His heart started beating again, but he didn’t regain consciousness and fell into a coma.  The diagnosis is grim—brain infarction. Fortunately, Gio still has a chance to come back to life because he has already won the biggest battle.  Please, save this young man! He won’t be able to cope without your help! 

Lamara is 92 years old. Look at her swollen, tear-filled eyes. This unfortunate, bedridden, elderly woman cannot buy eye drops to avoid going blind, which cost only 7 GEL. Lamara: “I’m lying here hungry, in a freezing house, my dear. I’m utterly exhausted. Eating even once a day is a blessing for me. I can’t move around on my own. My son and daughter-in-law take care of me, but they both have health issues and can’t work. We survive on my pension and social assistance. My son has had two spinal surgeries – he needs help himself. We have only one hope left—you, kind people!” 

Nini was only two years old when her mother, Olga, became paralyzed. After a stroke, Olga lost the use of her entire right side.  She couldn’t walk, take care of herself, or even speak. This brave young girl has taken on the care of her mother entirely by herself. She feeds her, bathes her, and carries her—literally. Despite everything, Nini is thriving. She’s an excellent student and even finds time to dance. Strong and responsible, this incredible girl refuses to give up, especially when it comes to her mom. Nini looks after her mother with the help of her grandmother. Every day, she monitors her condition, helps her exercise on at-home equipment, and gives her massages. But it’s not enough. Olga has a real chance to walk again – maybe with crutches or a cane, but still. And she needs ongoing rehabilitation under the guidance of professionals. Unfortunately, the cost of treatment is far beyond what this family can afford. Let’s help Olga achieve her dream of walking again!

The War in Abkhazia More than 10,000 Georgian civilians lost their lives. Approximately 10,000 were wounded or maimed, and over 300,000 Georgians were forcibly expelled from their homes in Abkhazia by separatists. At just 20 years old, Lika bandaged wounds and stopped the bleeding of soldiers during the Abkhazian War. She never left the bodies of fallen soldiers on the battlefield.  Risking her own life, she carried them out so their parents could at least have a grave to bury their sons. This brave young woman is now a widow. She has no home, no food, and no money for medicine. She lives in the same conditions as a stray dog. This horrifying building, once a tuberculosis clinic, is now her home.  There’s no electricity, no heating, no windows. The walls are rotting from dampness.  Lika, a hero who saved so many lives and fought for the unity of her homeland, now resides in this terrible place. Even in the homeland she fought to protect, there wasn’t a single decent room for Lika. Left without shelter, she was forced to seek refuge in an abandoned building still infested with tuberculosis bacteria known to science for centuries. These rooms, once occupied by tuberculosis patients battling for their lives, are now the only place this heroic woman can call home. Oh, God, it is so terrible!
Even worse, Lika is seriously ill. She underwent heart surgery, but her condition remains critical, requiring ongoing treatment. She has no money for bread, let alone medication. She also has a large uterine cyst that needs urgent removal, or it will develop into a tumor.

How to live on the fifth floor without an elevator if you are a wheelchair user? Seriously ill Levan found himself literally trapped in his own home. For several years now, in order to go outside, a guy has been crawling down on his knees from the fifth floor, and then crawling up the same way. We believe that after hearing the story of Levan and his exhausted mother, you will tell your family, friends, neighbors about it, and repost it on social networks. Levan has all the opportunities to get back on his feet. Only this costs a lot of money, which the family does not have. Please, help!
