Can you imagine a dying, still young 41-year-old woman, gravely ill with a constant temperature of 39–40 degrees, sometimes managing to get out of bed to collect scrap metal just to buy medicine for herself and her severely ill children, and of course, some food? At least for them – for the children – she loves more than life! A horror that cannot be described in words! God forbid any of us to experience such a thing!!! We ask the friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund to respond and take this family’s plight as their own! The most important thing God has allowed us to do in this life is not to pass by someone else’s misfortune! 
First and foremost, we need to take care of the mother. If something happens to her, God forbid, we will never forgive ourselves!  It’s unimaginable how the sick children will cope without their mother. Mom is sacred to them, that’s all they have.

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!

Irma: If possible, I would ask to have our ceiling repaired. I’m tired of this constant fear, always being on edge, afraid something will fall, or someone will get hurt. I also desperately ask for help setting up a bathroom (a shower). It’s already getting quite cold, and I’m still washing the kids in a basin out in the shed. The Nozadze family welcomed your gifts with great enthusiasm and joy! Some of their household problems have been resolved for now. Our special thanks go to everyone who helped! The pressing issues that still need to be addressed are repairing the ceiling and setting up a bathroom. Your help is needed right now!

Eleven-year-old Nika suffers from severe epileptic seizures, each one like a small brush with death. Where once his intense convulsions occurred once a month, now they strike every other day.  His mother has learned to manage the episodes but lives in constant fear for his life. The family can’t afford medicine or diapers. To leave children without a life-saving pill is to condemn them to torment! Like any other children, Andria, Nika, and Anna deserve to live happily, explore the world, and enjoy a carefree childhood. But they can’t do it without our support.  Help is needed urgently – there’s still time to make a difference, but it’s running out!

This is 15-year-old Gigi. The child has had cerebral palsy since birth. He cannot walk, he cannot even stand for a second. The poor child crawls on his knees. And he cannot speak either, he only makes indistinct sounds. The little boy suffers and asks for help with his eyes. The child’s condition is complicated by microcephaly, which is a rare neurological disease. The child is a disabled person of the first group. According to doctors, as a result of appropriate treatment and surgery, the child will be able to move and speak. We have a chance to perform a miracle! This is exactly the case when we can show God our best human qualities!

Every parent knows that nothing is more terrifying than seeing your own child suffer from an illness. Watching your baby in pain and being powerless to help is unbearable. We urge you to hear the plea of a mother desperately seeking help.  There is no stronger bond than that between a mother and her child. Don’t pass by. Don’t wait for someone else to help. Your support could be the real chance to save this little boy’s life. Let’s help this young, close-knit family! Together, we can work a miracle for Lazare and give him the chance to walk on his own legs!
