Badri (father, 54 years old): It was 4 in the morning when we heard a loud crack. I grabbed the sleeping children and ran outside. The day before the tragedy, we decided to move to the next room— perhaps we sensed something bad was coming. We went to sleep with fear, worrying that the ceiling might collapse on us. And the worst happened. Friends, these little angels can melt the hardest of hearts. How could anyone remain indifferent to such a plight?  Eight children are begging us for help. They don’t want to live in these terrible conditions; they just want to go home. Let’s unite and repair the roof for this family, who has given Georgia eight wonderful and decent children. 

Terrible things are happening, my friends! Eight-year-old Zauri has epilepsy. Can you imagine, the child hasn’t taken any medication for three months!!! Because his poor parents can’t afford either the pills or even food. They live in constant fear now, not knowing when Zauri might start having seizures and collapse dead. On behalf of myself and the Fund, I urge you: let’s give this family the warmth of our hearts and show how people in Georgia support each other, even when they are complete strangers! This is the essence of generosity—helping those you don’t know without expecting thanks in return!
  

Even in her worst nightmares, the young 27-year-old caring mother, Gvantsa Tvlidiani, could not have imagined that, in the prime of her life, she would one day find herself with her beloved sons and daughters in a crumbling, dilapidated house in the Shanghai settlement near Tbilisi. Seven children, the youngest just 4 months old, live with rats in a room where the ceiling has collapsed. Flies and poisonous wasps are everywhere, ready to sting the poor little ones at any moment. Six children sleep with their mother on one old bed, while baby Jaki sleeps in a basket serving as a cradle. The house has no bathroom or toilet.

These children never think of leaving their MOTHERLAND – proud Georgia! Why do they have to suffer like this…
In the Zanadze family, six little angels are suffering from severe hunger! When I asked the children, none of them could remember the last time they had a proper meal. Their breakfast, lunch, and dinner consist of stale bread.
Thank you, thank you from all of Georgia – kind neighbors from the village! Despite being poor themselves, they always share food with the hungry little ones. Know that it is people like you who uphold the great Georgian traditions. May God bless you with health and happiness, and to all kind people as well! And our deepest gratitude from the Fund!

Read the letter from a mother begging to save her only daughter. It will make you cry!
“My daughter Mariam is only 2 years old. She has a rare disease – a cleft soft palate, and she urgently needs surgery. It’s just impossible to describe the terrible feeling when you can’t help your child simply because you don’t have the money to pay for treatment. Oh God! It hurts to write this, my heart breaks from worry, every day we have tears and screams. The little one can’t properly eat, drink, and even crying is dangerous for her. Food and water come out through her nose and can get stuck in her throat at any moment. Just imagine how the little one suffers, how a terrible cough chokes her!”

“Just a week after you highlighted our need, our empty home was filled with furniture, appliances, and children’s clothes!” – says Eter. “In a week, you solved problems that other organizations ignored! With you, I don’t feel like a beggar; I feel heartfelt attention and support. People call me every minute, asking what we need and how the little ones are doing. And I tell everyone that everything is wonderful now!”
