A veteran of the Abkhazian war breaks his last piece of dry bread in half. Robert Jakhia was wounded four times in the Abkhazian war. He never feared death—he was ready to give his life for his country. Today, this forgotten hero lives in ruins. Years ago, Robert was hit by a car,  leaving him with a damaged spine that required surgery. He has also undergone two hernia surgeries. He’s deaf in his left ear and blind in his left eye due to a wartime injury.

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! That’s why the latter have deprived them of any social protection: the elderly receive mere pennies of social assistance and are inquired…

Nona (34 years old): I have been confined to a wheelchair since childhood. It’s so hard to talk about, but I can’t walk at all. Even with assistance. Not a single step, no matter how hard I try. I’m trapped within four walls and hardly ever go out. That’s why I decided to call your Fund. You have so many friends, and I want to befriend them and hope for help!

Mrs. Manana is a nurse by profession. She dedicated her life to caring for others. But now she is alone. Alone with the illness, pain, and hardships that life has dealt her. She has no one to empathize with her, to give her water, or, as she says, to bury her. For more than a year, she has been unable to eat on her own. She can’t go to the bathroom or even approach the window to see the sun. She has no food, medicine, refrigerator, washing machine, gas, or heating. But first and foremost, she dreams of having a bed.
The bed in her home is an old broken sofa with books instead of legs. It’s impossible to lie on it.

“Auntie, I’m exhausted from crawling on my tummy and knees, – Alexandre complains. – There are sores and blood everywhere. It hurts, but it’s more upsetting! So upsetting! Indeed! Mom says they’ll cure me in Turkey. The problem is, we’re poor! But they won’t treat me without money. Maybe you can persuade them?”

For five months, Georgian doctors have been unable to diagnose this unfortunate boy. Giorgi’s time is running out! Five months ago, a completely healthy boy suddenly fell ill, and since then, the sound of death’s footsteps has grown louder and louder in the Ochkhorashvili family. The child is suffocating. He coughs so loudly it seems like his lungs are torn. He has stopped talking and makes sounds as if someone has cut his vocal cords. He can only get food and water through the tube, but he vomits it back out. The oxygen machine is the only thing keeping him alive. But for how long??? The boy’s life timer is on. Turn on the video and you will hear the sounds of death! Father Giorgi and Nikoloz and Gogi’s mother are begging for help to raise money for the trip to Germany for an examination! We will announce the cost of the surgery once we receive the papers! Lord, help! Since there are already very few of us left in Georgia….
