Mariam’s scoliosis is pressing harder and harder on her lungs each day – sometimes completely cutting off her oxygen supply. The pain she endures is unbearable. She can’t sleep, she can’t stand up, she can’t even turn over in bed. 

Her ribcage is becoming more deformed with each passing day, and no painkillers can ease her suffering anymore. Her parents are praying on their knees for just one thing: to get her abroad for the surgery that could save her life. But where can a nearly destitute family find such a huge amount of money? If we waste any time, it will be too late. 

Lika, mother (37 years old): “I’ve been carrying my daughter in my arms for 18 years, and I will carry her for as long as I live… but I’m running out of strength.

She is 18 now – the best years of a girl’s life. Sometimes dark thoughts creep into my mind, making me wonder if God has forgotten some of us. But I immediately pray, because I know thinking that way is a terrible sin. I believe that in moments like these, God gives us all a chance – to defeat the devil through kindness and compassion!

Mariam was born with microcephaly—her skull developed abnormally, leaving no room for her brain to grow. 

Every day, Asmik endures painful procedures and medication.  She has never known what it’s like to wake up and simply enjoy a new day without suffering. She is eight years old, yet she still wears diapers.

Marina, mother (32-year-old): “When my daughter was seven months old, I noticed she couldn’t sit up or hold her head. After medical tests, the doctors gave me devastating news—she had severe brain damage.  One side of her brain doesn’t function at all, and the other, they said, works at only 20 percent. Why has my little angel met such a sad fate?”

She can’t walk or talk. Asmik cannot even eat on her own. God, this little angel suffers so much!

Marina: “Every meal ends in tears because my daughter cannot chew solid food. And I don’t even have a blender to make her soups and purées.”

Asmik’s tiny body is constantly tense, as if high-voltage electricity is running through her muscles.  She cannot relax – not for a single moment.  The pain is unbearable. She screams in agony, and the entire village can hear her cries.

Oh God, how much suffering Merab’s mother has endured for 12 years! I can’t even put her pain into words.  But both she and her son share the same dream! And Turkish doctors have promised to ease both her suffering and Merab’s.

Merab is growing up like any other child, but soon, his mother will no longer be able to carry him outside so he can at least see and talk to other children. He cannot take a single step on his own.

Merab (12 years old): “My legs hurt so much. So, so much. The pills don’t help! And my parents don’t have money to take me to Turkey for treatment. Otherwise, I would never ask my mother to bother other people! Please, help her and help me! Please, help! I dream of standing up and at least walking quietly with my friends… Otherwise, I will spend the rest of my life watching others play from my window. I just want to live! ”

When Merab’s mother was pregnant, doctors said his brain was damaged and that he wouldn’t survive. But despite all the terrible predictions, he survived. It is truly a miracle from God!

This little angel is six-year-old Nita. When she was born and first opened her eyes, their deep sea-blue color mesmerized everyone. They shimmered like summer waves at dawn. But fate was cruel. Soon, her family received devastating news

Nita was diagnosed with congenital optic nerve atrophy. Her vision is nearly nonexistent: 0.02% in one eye and 0.04% in the other. My God, this is worse than a nightmare. Lacking the money for proper treatment, her poor family could not afford surgery. Had this angelic girl been born into a wealthy family, she would have been sent abroad for treatment without delay. But Nita was not so lucky—her family simply cannot afford it.

They don’t even have a home of their own; they live temporarily in someone else’s house. But they are honest, hardworking people who earn their bread with dignity – and they are raising their children the same way. Honesty is rare these days, but Nita’s parents hold onto it firmly.

The real tragedy is that Nita cannot see at all in daylight. The sun makes her eyes water constantly, and she can’t even open them – let alone see anything. It is pure torture.

David spent only five months in his mother’s womb… When he was born, he weighed just 500 grams. Doctors told his devastated mother that he had almost no chance of survival. 

But God worked a miracle, he saved this little boy’s life

Weeks, months, and years passed. David grew, and his face radiated kindness. One look at him, and you would know—this child was saved by the hand of God and the Virgin Mary. But the consequences of his premature birth took their toll—he couldn’t walk. The tendons in both his legs were so tight that he couldn’t even bend his knees. 

For six years, this poor child writhed in pain on the floor, suffering unbearable agony

Recently, the Ministry of Health of Adjara fully paid for the child’s expensive surgery. A few days ago, the boy returned to his homeland. But now the child needs rehabilitation.

Lord, he’s such a cute and sweet baby… Please don’t let him die! At this very moment, little Demetre is battling for his life in an intensive care unit in a Turkish hospital. He is on a ventilator, fighting to survive. His only chance to live depends on whether kind people step forward to help fund his life-saving treatment.

Nato, Demetre’s mother (31 years old): “Demetre is 1 year and 8 months old.  He sleeps all the time… He doesn’t even have the strength to cry. Doctors said it was a rare complication from a routine vaccination – a reaction so rare that it happens to only a few children out of a million. In Georgia, they couldn’t determine the exact diagnosis. So we didn’t waste time and took him to Turkey immediately.  Right now, we have exhausted all our financial resources. Our only hope is for kind people to help save our boy.”

Doctors have confirmed that Demetre’s brain is damaged. Worse still, one of his lungs has failed, forcing them to put him on a ventilator immediately.
