Both in appearance and spirit, Zurab and Galina resemble gentle and innocent blind children navigating through a dense forest teeming with wild and bloodthirsty beasts! And there’s not a single strong and kind hero around to protect them! “It’s very, very hard to live when everyone wants to deceive you,” says Zurab, who endured two years of deceitful treatments from fraudulent doctors, promising to restore his sight while the nerve in his eye had long since perished. The doctors drained the last pennies from the family! Oh, if only we could find them and look into their “rotten” eyes… Some “beasts” are suing them to take away their apartment, while others are waiting for their death from hunger and cold, because then they will be able to seize the apartment completely for free!

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.

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.

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.

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

“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.
