Life for Eka is pain, suffering, and a constant trial for her soul. “The pain is getting worse with each passing day… It feels like thousands of nails being driven into my back simultaneously. Breathing is painful. My spine is so twisted that all my internal organs are deformed. I wonder how they are still functioning. To keep living and not die prematurely, I urgently need to undergo surgery. It will be like my second birth.” But with our income, I could never save up such an amount in three lifetimes. That’s why I addressed you. I know that God will send me the right people through you.’Eka has the most severe form of scoliosis, and her entire body is deformed. While this condition used to bring her only discomfort, now it slowly kills the girl. “This disease spared no one, and Eka is not an exception. People don’t die from scoliosis, but from the complications that accompany this disease. Eka finds it hard to breathe right now, and later, she won’t be able to eat… and what then?

I beg you! I don’t want to die of hunger and cold! Take care of me before a torturous death does its vile deed! “Will you help me? Will you bring me some food? I am so hungry! Won’t I freeze this winter? But maybe I won’t live until winter? I am very ill! What if something happens to me somewhere? Or if the dogs bite me? Or if I fall with my sick leg and breathe my last breath after so much suffering? Who will find me? Probably only crows will touch my lifeless body.” – Grandma Nana looks at us with fear and sobs like a child. Cunning epilepsy and brain diseases have forever kept her in a childlike state… If you only knew how tough it is for her and in what dreadful conditions this poor, sick child has to live. She needs our help the most right now.

In this so-called house, if you step on the ‘wrong’ spot, you might lose your leg. Only ruins remain from the former school. The building was in such a horrendous condition that authorities, fearing for the students’ lives, had to close the school. What a ‘touching’ concern for the students, right? But for one family, in the eyes of the local authorities, living in this building with two children is not a problem. One more or one less family in Georgia – is it such a big deal? They think it’s not a problem! But this is how they think – those without warm Georgian hearts! But not us, and not the 94,000 subscribers of the website. Friends, please subscribe, or we might lose not just this family – there are so few of us already!)

A genetic disease, from which there is no salvation, has engulfed the life of every member of this family. Torment, unbearable suffering, and death – that’s their life script. Three ‘children’ in the family suffer from a terrible disease that takes their lives! The eldest, 29-year-old Zakro, has not gotten out of bed for years, 22-year-old Anna can still move, but with great difficulty. She sits in a chair all day long calmly, and then suddenly cries out… starts hitting herself on the head. Her mother can’t understand what she sees there. Just one year ago, the mother thought that the disease would spare her youngest daughter, but one year ago, the girl started having back pain, and it became difficult for her to walk. Tamara started getting tired quickly. What can a poor mother do? How much longer can her heart endure watching the suffering of her children?

I hope so much that one wonderful day I will wake up and not understand what is happening to me: there is no pain, death has retreated, and I have never been a hunchbacked cripple.” He is a man, and men do not cry. Even when darkness clouds their vision from pain, their lungs shut down, and it is impossible to take a breath. Any cold, even the slightest one, can cost Nike his life. The life of 20-year-old Nike Shubitidze is nothing but suffering.

In the 21st century in Georgia, much like in times long past, some children have to struggle for their lives and a piece of bread, as if they were savages in the jungles of Africa. Today, our heroes are a large family with seven children, ranging from infants to teenagers, who go hungry and are compelled to live in an arbitrarily occupied building without windows, doors, or basic amenities.
