“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.

For over a month, this son of Georgia has been suffering in a shabby room far from home, enduring constant pain. His only caregiver in this battle is his mother. Mamuka is completely paralyzed…
