Reziko cries without ceasing. It’s not even a cry, it’s more of a moan from the pain in his spine. He can’t lie down or sit for long periods. The boy is constantly tense and can’t even straighten his fingers. It’s hard to believe, but Reziko was born perfectly healthy. Due to a medical mistake, he became disabled in an instant. Gulo (mother, 33 years old): Reziko is my first and long-awaited son. He was our joy. He grew up to be a smart boy, but when he was eight months old, he got very sick and his ears hurt a lot… I’m sorry, I can’t tell this story without tears. There’s a lump in my throat.

Mariam is sick with all the diseases of the world! There isn’t a single healthy spot on the small, tormented body of this unfortunate child! She was born with multiple diseases: everything hurts the girl! Her liver was located in the intestine, she has multiple heart defects, an open arterial duct, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, multiple rib fractures… She spent 6 months in the intensive care unit. She fought for her life, battled with death, and survived. Her mother was told that the girl is under God’s protection because children like her usually never survive.
