Eleven-year-old Nika suffers from severe epileptic seizures, each one like a small brush with death. Where once his intense convulsions occurred once a month, now they strike every other day.  His mother has learned to manage the episodes but lives in constant fear for his life. The family can’t afford medicine or diapers. To leave children without a life-saving pill is to condemn them to torment! Like any other children, Andria, Nika, and Anna deserve to live happily, explore the world, and enjoy a carefree childhood. But they can’t do it without our support.  Help is needed urgently – there’s still time to make a difference, but it’s running out!

Mariam miraculously survived a horrific car accident. It was a fateful taxi ride, and another car crashed into theirs at high speed. Two people died on the spot, and doctors can say they pieced the young woman back together. Most of her vital organs were damaged, and she had to have her spleen and gallbladder removed. Look at these horrific photos from the accident scene! Mariam says she is under God’s protection—how else could she have survived? But another blow awaited her: doctors discovered tumors in Mariam’s spleen. She endures excruciating pain that worsens every day, yet she holds back her tears. The family lives in extreme poverty, relying solely on social allowance.  There is no money for medications or exams.

“Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a soldier. I wanted so much to defend my homeland.

And I immediately lost all the words of support I had prepared to say to the boy. 14-year-old Giorgi has Duchenne muscular dystrophy (progressive). The child cannot move around even with the help of a wheelchair. The muscles of all his organs are exhausted. This disease has not reached only the heart muscle. “What will happen then?” The child will die,” was the reply of Nana, Giorgi’s mother, and she wept bitterly. – I even feed him lying down… If I had a special bed, he would at least eat sitting down.”
