Rimma has hydrocephalus. She’s undergone four grueling brain surgeries, and the fifth one was performed in Turkey. A shunt was placed in her head—a special device that helps regulate the fluid that constantly accumulates. Her 26-year-old daughter Mariam, devastated and desperate, turned to our Fund for help. The situation is critical! They’re currently in a hospital in Turkey, but they have no money to pay the bills. Several times a day, hospital administrators come into their room demanding, “Pay up, pay up, pay up.”  One day in the hospital costs approximately 1,000 GEL. Where can a poor orphan find such money? A year ago, Mariam buried her father, who died in a car accident.
