Beka himself can’t work, and his poor mother doesn’t have the money for a prosthetic leg. Without it, navigating stairs is a challenge. He often falls, and there’s no one around to lend a hand to help him up. It’s really embarrassing for him to have to rely on strangers to get up, like a cripple! Imagine trying to go downstairs without a prosthetic, sometimes falling, in a house without an elevator! And after one of those falls, he might not even be able to get up! The staircase is steep! While his peers are out enjoying themselves, making friends, falling in love, and planning their futures, he spends entire days by the window! But for him, the world outside is daunting, harsh, and colorless: “What do I see in the future? There’s nothing there, just emptiness, total despair.” Nino (Beka’s mother): “My son was only 24 when he had a severe heart attack. The surgery lasted 9 hours. And now, he has diabetes. Then came the gangrene, and now my dear boy is without a leg!”

Ani (19 years old): The unbelievable happened! After the surgery, I took my first independent steps! I set aside my walker and walked. I managed to take four or five steps. The feeling is indescribable! The doctors say it’s a true miracle! If it weren’t for the kind friends of the Fund, I would have remained confined to a wheelchair forever. I feel great, except for the pain in my legs. But this pain is also a positive sign. It means sensation is returning to my legs. My body is starting to recover after the surgery.

Due to the incessant itching, the baby cries day and night without relief! “Nicholas’s whole body is covered in sores. His skin is cracked, itchy, and bleeding. Exhausted, he is ready to tear his skin off, and when he is not allowed to scratch his wounded body, he cries and screams so much that it breaks my, my sick mother’s, and my husband’s hearts! – says Mariam, the boy’s mother. And all this horror happens just because the doctors made the wrong diagnosis. Such a cute boy! Poor thing almost died during the week he spent in the intensive care unit!”

The worst part is that the children suffer here! They not only breathe air poisoned by mold but also endure the air of disdain among their peers and certain teachers at school! Shorena (the mother) How can I explain to the teacher that I can’t afford to buy a computer for my child? That I will never be able to save up for one in my lifetime? And she says, “Everyone managed to do it, so can you.” It’s so cruel! When you don’t have money, everyone looks down on you, doesn’t consider you a human being… Nino (13-year-old): Many children tease us, flaunting their new things and giggling. And we have nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just recently, we all had a fever, and my mom couldn’t even afford to buy us medicine. – Shorena, from the moment I entered your house, I had only one thought: how do you live here? Shorena: If you can call it living… We’re just trying not to die here. Holding on as long as we can. But our strength is running out. Everything went haywire after my husband’s dea

“Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a soldier. I wanted so much to defend my homeland. And now I know that I will be confined to this bed for the rest of my life,” little Georgiy said these words with deep sorrow, as if pouring his heart to me. 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.”

❗❗❗ This is a very heavy story! If you’ve just become a mom or are expecting a baby, refrain from reading this interview – the emotions here can be overwhelming❗❗❗ Theona and Ramaz’s story began like any other couple in love! Then they prayed and waited for a child for a whole 10 years! And a miracle happened! The nine months of pregnancy were the happiest in their lives. They were already picturing the joys of long-awaited parenthood! They debated what their little girl’s first word would be: “mama” or “papa”? “But our happiness didn’t last long,” Teona says. – God help! At the age of 8 months, Elene’s eyes started to roll back…Georgia’s most famous neurologist calmed us down and prescribed her a whole bag of expensive medications. But he sternly warned us: If you don’t give even one, the child will die!” But I felt in my heart that something was wrong because things were getting worse. And here we are in Turkey, where we came with our last money – ours and our kind neighbors

Friends, this is one of the friendliest, hardest working, and caring families we have encountered in many years of our challenging work! Lord, help us to find the means to cure Anna and give daily bread to the hungry children! It is not their fault, and they do not realize what awaits them “tomorrow” if we ever forget about them and do not take care of them!

Gulo has already cried her eyes out – she sees nothing and no one. But when someone comes to the nursing home, she asks them to take out three portraits from the shelf case and look at her children and grandson. And says – are they beautiful, are they good? That’s how she buried all three of them, the good and beautiful ones, and laid them in the ground. And she herself lives just to cry. Without eyes, without a home, without documents. Abandoned by the dead and the only living daughter but found by kind people.

He suffers from a treacherous disease – epilepsy, often frightening his parents and siblings with seizures. Barbare is 8-year-old. Her ultimate dream is to have one doll and soup.

“Do you really need her like this?” people kept asking her mother. “She will die soon! Look, those parents left such a child in an orphanage and now they will live happily. You can’t imagine the burden of raising a sick child, especially when you already have a healthy daughter. Imagine how hard it will be for her. How embarrassed she will feel of having such a sister.” Instead of encouraging the young mother, it seemed like everyone had conspired and wanted her to leave the child like a piece of meat.

Giorgi remembers his mother, but he remembers only one thing – how she lay in the coffin and how everyone cried loudly. After that, he stopped talking, and for the past 13 years, only his grandmother and sister Mariam can understand him now. Mariam doesn’t remember their mother, and perhaps it’s for the best, as their mother passed away five days after giving birth without coming into senses or embracing her daughter.
