Lali (Mother, 66 years old): “My son nearly died from pneumonia. We spent four and a half months in the hospital, and I never left Mamuka’s side, not for a minute.  He was on a ventilator. The doctors advised me to transfer him to a palliative care unit for terminal patients, but I refused” Here we see an example of selfless love and heroism from a simple Georgian woman—a Mother with a capital M. She cries bitterly because of her helplessness, and she’s embarrassed to ask for help, but she has no one else but us.  Help Lali save her only son, to whom she has devoted her entire life! Mamuka’s life is in our hands, friends! Each of you can help extend his days!

Friends, Lasha’s future – his very life – depends on financial support. That’s the harsh reality. After all he’s endured, he now needs two extremely complex hip surgeries just to start moving again. Right now, his body is literally frozen in one position. Each operation costs 18,000 GEL in Georgia – first one leg, then the other in about three months. After that, he’ll need long-term rehabilitation. Please don’t doubt: every lari you donate will go directly to pay for Lasha’s treatment and will be transferred straight to the clinic. Let all of Georgia come together for this kind cause! Tell your friends and loved ones about Lasha. Together, we are strong- and together, we can help this young man stand again and return to life. Just imagine how much he wants that.                 

At 12 years old, Nikoloz was carefree, playing soccer with other boys, training hard, and living an active life. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until, before an upcoming tournament, a routine medical check revealed a congenital kidney condition—hydronephrosis. Doctors found that his left kidney was completely destroyed, leaving only one option: surgery to remove it.

Look at this little angel, how beautiful she is. Her eyes are so deep, so full of expression…  Just one glance into Anna-Maria’s eyes, is enough to feel that her little heart is full of kindness. Yet a cruel fate threatens to stop this kind heart beating orever. We can’t let that happen! No!

If you’re reading this, and you’re a nursing student, a medical student, or simply someone with a compassionate heart, please consider giving Anna-Maria just a few hours of your time.

This hug with her mom could be the last for the beautiful 16-year-old Maggie. How terrifying! Her loving mother has already died once – her heart stopped! And only a miracle brought her back to life! Now her heart is kept beating by a pacemaker! But for how long? Meet Zhanna, friends: she is 44 years old. Not long ago, the heart of this still young woman suddenly stopped! It stopped completely, and death approached.  The ambulance brought her, almost dead, to the hospital. Her only 16-year-old daughter wept bitterly over the loss of her mother. And then the Lord worked a miracle – a true miracle, and the doctors who witnessed it kept crossing themselves for a long time afterward!  The doctors performed emergency surgery and implanted a pacemaker. Zhanna urgently needs repeat heart surgery; otherwise, her chances of survival are less than one percent. However, cursed poverty prevents the unfortunate mother from getting this urgent surgery. Medications temporarily sustain the desperate woman, but meager social allowance does not even allow her to buy the medications! According to the documents, the value of a Georgian woman’s life has been set at $8,300—money the unfortunate woman has never even seen.

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.
