Four months ago, on December 17 – Saint Barbara’s Day -Guram’s life changed forever. He celebrated the holiday the way it’s usually done in Georgia – with plenty of food and drink – but somehow, Guram was the only one who got sick. He fell into a deep sleep, and during the night began to vomit. It seemed like nothing serious – but his airways became blocked by saliva, cutting off oxygen to his brain. And just like that, this handsome young man fell into a coma.
Day and night, his loving mother caresses her son – her whole world. Everything in their home has already been sold. With her last bit of money, she pays 6600 GEL a month just to keep the love of her life alive.
Friends, there is now a glimmer of hope to help Guram get back on his feet. A special implant has become available – it can be used to treat his brain! But it costs $3,000, and the family simply doesn’t have that kind of money. Today, this is the price of his life. Please, don’t forget that.
