Thank you, friends, for your tremendous support of the Zurabishvili family. May the end of this post inspire you to act, rather than feel sad. Tears won’t solve anything. Feeling compassion is important and wonderful, but our actions are even more crucial. God bless you! If you have a heavy heart because of everyday problems or unresolved issues, as a distraction just see our posts on Facebook, or better call any of our beneficiaries, and all your problems will seem unimportant to you, compared with the problems of those to whom you helped in the most difficult moment of their lives.

Imagine the moral suffering this young woman endures! And she still has to become a wife and mother! For a woman, being disabled is one of the greatest tragedies in the world! Those of you reading this post right now, imagine for a moment your beloved daughter suffering from such a terrible physical defect! Thanks to modern technology, it’s possible to restore this beautiful girl to full health. But she needs Western doctors and very expensive materials. Ani is too shy to ask for help with getting a prosthesis. “How can I bother strangers?” she whispered, bowing her head so that I, the reporter, wouldn’t see the tears in her eyes. Dear friends! At the Fund, we are confident that as you read these words, kind hearts will see in this lovely girl a daughter, a sister, or even a granddaughter. By showing compassion, we can give a new life to this beautiful and shy Georgian girl. She will tell her children about the kindness of her compatriots, and most importantly, that only good deeds bring us closer to the Lord. No one in the world can do more for God! Help us, Lord!

Mrs. Manana is a nurse by profession. She dedicated her life to caring for others. But now she is alone. Alone with the illness, pain, and hardships that life has dealt her. She has no one to empathize with her, to give her water, or, as she says, to bury her. For more than a year, she has been unable to eat on her own. She can’t go to the bathroom or even approach the window to see the sun. She has no food, medicine, refrigerator, washing machine, gas, or heating. But first and foremost, she dreams of having a bed. The bed in her home is an old broken sofa with books instead of legs. It’s impossible to lie on it.

This hug with her mom could be the last for the beautiful 16-year-old Maggie. How terrifying! Her loving mother has already died once – her heart stopped! And only a miracle brought her back to life! Now her heart is kept beating by a pacemaker! But for how long? Meet Zhanna, friends: she is 44 years old. Not long ago, the heart of this still young woman suddenly stopped! It stopped completely, and death approached. The ambulance brought her, almost dead, to the hospital. Her only 16-year-old daughter wept bitterly over the loss of her mother. And then the Lord worked a miracle – a true miracle, and the doctors who witnessed it kept crossing themselves for a long time afterward! The doctors performed emergency surgery and implanted a pacemaker. Zhanna urgently needs repeat heart surgery; otherwise, her chances of survival are less than one percent. However, cursed poverty prevents the unfortunate mother from getting this urgent surgery. Medications temporarily sustain the desperate woman, but meager social allowance does not even allow her to buy the medications! According to the documents, the value of a Georgian woman’s life has been set at $8,300—money the unfortunate woman has never even seen.

Can you imagine a dying, still young 41-year-old woman, gravely ill with a constant temperature of 39–40 degrees, sometimes managing to get out of bed to collect scrap metal just to buy medicine for herself and her severely ill children, and of course, some food? At least for them – for the children – she loves more than life! A horror that cannot be described in words! God forbid any of us to experience such a thing!!! We ask the friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund to respond and take this family’s plight as their own! The most important thing God has allowed us to do in this life is not to pass by someone else’s misfortune! First and foremost, we need to take care of the mother. If something happens to her, God forbid, we will never forgive ourselves! It’s unimaginable how the sick children will cope without their mother. Mom is sacred to them, that’s all they have.

Every evening Merab begs his mom to give him medicine. He can’t explain what hurts him and says there’s a fire in his legs. His mom has been suffering with him for 14 years, carrying him in her arms. Sometimes he has such strong spasms that his mom fears he might break all his bones while sitting in his wheelchair. Madonna: Merab was born prematurely, weighing less than two kilograms. They placed him in an incubator and assured me that everything would be fine. But for some reason, I felt that nothing good awaited us. Until he turned one, he cried so much, never stopped! Even the doctors couldn’t understand what was wrong, what was bothering him. Then he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Here they told us that surgery would help, while in Turkey they said that surgery would only worsen the situation, that cerebral palsy is incurable. So I resigned myself…

“I sometimes want to die from the pain and incessant itching. Sometimes, the pain is so intense that it clouds my vision, and even medications do not always cope with it. It’s tough for a single person to stretch their pension to cover all their needs.” – says Julietta, trying not to show desperation in her words. “Every step is given to me with great difficulty. Every step for me is pain.”

Lasha: “I really, really want to live! Another day, two, maybe a week or a month, maybe a year, or maybe?.. If only to find out!!! I so want to believe in a miracle! I dreamed of becoming a football player. And I was the best in the school team! Grandma always said that I was the most beautiful and strong! But when they diagnosed me with this deadly disease – Hodgkin’s lymphoma, two years ago, I still didn’t understand what it was and continued to enjoy life!!! But… then came the chemotherapy! And with each day, I thought more and more: what will happen to me tomorrow?!”

“There’s nothing scarier than seeing your children suffer from cold and hunger and being unable to help them” A heartless father callously abandoned his wife and four young children in a cold, damp cellar, leaving them without money, clothing, or any hope for the future. Why did he shatter the hopes of his own flesh and blood for a better life? What did they do to deserve such punishment? It would have been more merciful to end their lives quickly instead of subjecting them to slow, agonizing suffering.

“For nine years, we lived in terrible rented apartments, – says Maia. We were exhausted. We moved not only from apartment to apartment but also from city to city. For non-payment, the landlords drove us out like dogs, not even giving us a chance to take our belongings, our clothes. We left with nothing, in tears, humiliated and tired. No one will kick us out anymore! The Chernovetskyi Fund ensured that my children have a roof over their heads, that they feel happy and dignified! I still can’t believe that we are the owners of a two-story house with six rooms and a spacious yard. No other fund we turned to was able to help us! But you gave us a home! I don’t know when my joyous shock will wear off, but my gratitude will last a lifetime!

Mother Elena: Forgive me for bothering you and asking so much, but isn’t this a shared cause of ours. I won’t hide it—I’m relying on you again… (Smiles) We’re always in need of medications, diapers, wet wipes, and cleaning supplies for the bath and toilet. To care for our three bedridden residents, I use a special cleansing foam. Maybe someone would like to donate a piano to the shelter? It doesn’t have to be new, just in good working condition. Our grandmothers need more joy—this would truly entertain them. And who knows, maybe someone would even give a little concert, like the students from the Georgian-German School “Skhivi.” Oh, what a wonderful day that was! I’ve also been thinking of enclosing the area where our residents sit during the day, to shield them from rain and wind. Metal-plastic would be best. I’m seeking help with this as well. The “Lazaret” shelter regularly needs medications, diapers, hygiene items, and cleaning supplies. Visiting the grandmothers in person is a lovely idea! This day will bring them so much joy and become a lasting memory!
