Strands of her light hair were soaked with tears as the girl, tired from battling illness, lay on the hospital bed. Her name is Iamze. Her eyes, usually bright and full of life, are now filled only with fear. “I have one last surgery ahead of me! The last one in my life!” sadly says 15-year-old Iamze. She so wants to live, to be friends, and to communicate with her peers! “Right now, I can’t go outside. I can’t go to school because if I even catch a simple virus, I’ll die! That’s why I’m sticking hearts on the wall of my house. What if God sees them?” Iamze: “The doctors promise that everything will be fine!” We so want to believe them, friends! But we think, it’s better to pray one more time! Because without God, no important task can be accomplished! And here it’s not just any task, but the matter of life and death of a good and kind girl!!!

Thirty-five-year-old Georgy had to undergo six surgeries in a year. Outsmarting death became his main occupation. Neither he nor the doctors understand how he is still alive. According to all medical rules and common sense, with cancer, severe internal bleeding, blood loss, and failure of vital organs, he should have been gone long ago. But his two little daughters, Nitsa and Anita, outsmarted both death and all the laws of science, and wrote a “new law” for their beloved father, under which he simply has no right to die. Even after everything he has been through! “Giorgi has been cheating death for a year now… the score is now 6:0 in Giorgi’s favor.”

I have always dreamed of becoming a military man, of defending the Motherland! God gave me this opportunity! But today the machine gun falls out of my hands! Bring me back to life! I must be on my feet and with my loving family! Only the thoughts of surgery in Turkey and a complete cure keep me in this world! And my wife Sofiko and my beautiful daughter give me strength to fight and live until the trip to Turkey. But when there’s no money for medication, I start having seizures, and I beg God to relieve me from this torment and take me to Himself! Forgive me for my weakness! But without medication while awaiting surgery, I feel nothing but excruciating pain!

But now, Giorgi has been reborn. The terrible pain has disappeared from the child’s face. God, how peaceful he looks now. His ocean-blue eyes are full of happiness. What a transformation… God, it’s unbelievable!  Dear friends, thanks to your kindness, 27,000 lari was quickly raised for the boy’s treatment abroad. And now you can see the result! Instead of pain, stars now shine in this child’s eyes. In addition to the successful treatment abroad, the Makhardze family has another wonderful piece of news. The children have escaped forever from the dreadful hut that had no roof or floor and whose walls were damp with moisture. From today, they will live like human beings. God, miracles really do happen!

Anna (mom): And now I have two seriously ill children in my arms and a life full of suffering! Because I feel everything that my children feel! Every mother in the world has such a connection with their children. “Poor Nikoloz was oprated on his legs three times. And according to the doctors, he won’t survive a fourth surgery! They advise against it… But who knows? Maybe the friends of the Fund have surgeons who will give another advice?”. For 31-year-old Anna, every day begins with a battle. Her hands tirelessly toil, she does everything with love and utmost effort! But in the silence of the night, when her children fall asleep and the world stands still, her soul trembles with pain. “If it weren’t for my husband, I would have collapsed myself. The children especially need affection – they constantly ask us to pick them up. And my husband has a severely diseased heart – he needs treatment too! I won’t survive alone! He’s such a kind person, he worries so much about the children.”

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…
