His psychopathic father forced his severely ill son to beg on the streets. With the money Giorgi collected, the father would get drunk and then beat his son with an iron rod. This is our new problem, friends! A very serious case! 21-year-old Giorgi was born with Down syndrome. He cannot walk or talk and has the mental capacity of a three-year-old child. Giorgi lives in a damp basement infested with rats. His bed is so uncomfortable that even a stray dog wouldn’t sleep on it. Rusty wires sticking out from the bed cause Giorgi pain, and when he sleeps, rainwater drips from the ceiling.

This is fourteen-year-old Saba. Confined to a wheelchair, he suffers from terrible pain. Saba has had cerebral palsy since birth and cannot walk. His legs are so severely twisted that he can’t stand on them for even a second. What did this little angel do to deserve such torment? Saba is cut off from the world. Yes, the child is cut off from the world… Oh, how awful those words sound. You live in this world, but you are rejected by it. Just imagining it makes one’s blood run cold.

Alexi was riding horseback when a raging bull attacked him from behind with a powerful blow. The furious animal relentlessly tossed and trampled him, breaking his bones! In mere minutes, a strong, hardworking man became disabled.  Luckily, he survived!  Alexi’s spine was damaged, his lungs were torn, and his pelvis fractured. He became bedridden, unable to even walk to the bathroom on his own.  Alexi struggled to breathe and lacked the strength to speak. His family—his bright-eyed son Gio and kind wife Keti—were heartbroken, not knowing where to find the money for his treatment. Do you want to know how Alexi is doing now? Then follow us! Thanks to the friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund, his condition has greatly improved. Guess where we’re going now? Not to Alexi’s bedside. We’re heading to his workplace.

In the beautiful Georgian eyes of 7-year-old Giorgi lies all the pain of our land! He is very hungry! And between him and his older brother Lasha, they only have a small piece of bread for the whole day! Giorgi is very afraid that Lasha might take it all for himself! This is how they live in this wreck of a place that can’t even be called a shed. It doesn’t even have a window. Light enters the room only through the door. The gaps in the ceiling and walls are so large that it wouldn’t even be safe to keep chicks in there! Here live, if it can be called living, two perpetually hungry children—7-year-old Giorgi and his older brother, 10-year-old Lasha—along with their nearly blind and severely ill mother, Madonna, who has been disabled since childhood.

It was unbearable for his parents to watch their only son suffer. The child grew up and gradually lost the ability to move
Time passed, seasons changed, but nothing changed for little Luka. His world was as small as the distance from the bed to the window. And then September 1 came – the day when Luka’s peers opened the school door for the first time, but Luka was still bedridden due to an insidious illness and could not even move. A boy with great intellectual abilities, with tears in his eyes, asked his parents what he had done wrong, why he wasn’t like other children. This question pierced the hearts of his parents like a knife. That’s how the years went by. Our little boy grew up. It’s been 4 years now, and the father has been heroically caring for his bedridden, paralyzed son. After his wife’s passing, he learned to cook and bathe his only son with his own hands. Today, Luka is already 35 years old. He’s at an age where he could be enjoying life with a wife and children.

A beautiful woman is about to regain her natural beauty. Turkish doctors, thank God, give guarantees! If we don’t help now, the spine may break, and the ribs will puncture the girl’s lungs. The sufferer Anna (24-year-old): Inhuman pain doesn’t let me close my eyes even at night! I can’t sleep, and if I close my eyes even a little, I start to suffocate! The spine keeps curving, and today I can’t even take a sip of water on my own! My body has deformed so much over the years of suffering that the spine may break, and the ribs, like deadly spears, will pierce my lungs and heart. And nothing else in the world except surgery can drown out this pain and bring me back to life! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have turned to the Fund and its friends! In Georgia, there are plenty of sufferers besides me. “Anna can’t even sit up from bed by herself.”
