His psychopathic father forced his severely ill son to beg on the streets. With the money Giorgi collected, the father would get drunk and then beat his son with an iron rod. This is our new problem, friends! A very serious case! 21-year-old Giorgi was born with Down syndrome. He cannot walk or talk and has the mental capacity of a three-year-old child. Giorgi lives in a damp basement infested with rats. His bed is so uncomfortable that even a stray dog wouldn’t sleep on it. Rusty wires sticking out from the bed cause Giorgi pain, and when he sleeps, rainwater drips from the ceiling.

I have always dreamed of becoming a military man, of defending the Motherland! God gave me this opportunity! But today the machine gun falls out of my hands! Bring me back to life! I must be on my feet and with my loving family! Only the thoughts of surgery in Turkey and a complete cure keep me in this world! And my wife Sofiko and my beautiful daughter give me strength to fight and live until the trip to Turkey. But when there’s no money for medication, I start having seizures, and I beg God to relieve me from this torment and take me to Himself! Forgive me for my weakness! But without medication while awaiting surgery, I feel nothing but excruciating pain!
