“I am dead, but there is only one difference between a dead man and me: I am not yet lying in a cold grave, I have not yet been covered with black earth. I’ve been chained to my bed for over 20 years, I can’t move my legs, I can hardly move my arms, but I still can’t get used to this state! I dream all the time that I walk, swim in the river, play football with my friends, but when I open my eyes, I try to move my leg and arm, but can’t do anything … It hurts me to realize that it was just a dream. I feel dreary – as if a big ball gets stuck in my throat and suffocates me. It feels like I had become a hostage of my body,” says 50-year-old Mamuka Solomnishvili. Tears come to the man’s eyes. He tries to hide them, but you still hear despair in his every word.

By some twist of fate, we, dear friends, have become the closest people to this lonely couple. There’s no one else they can rely on but us. Dali and Akaki, both gravely ill, have no home, no medicine, and no food.  Everything they once had was sold to pay for medical treatment.  They have to move from one place to another just to avoid paying rent. Dali (60 years old): “If not for our neighbors, we wouldn’t be here anymore. We would have died of hunger or cold. The kindest woman, Tea, shares her bread and firewood with us. And she has a family of her own; she’s a mother of many children. We’re so grateful to her. May God bless her! We don’t have children of our own—there’s no one else to take care of us.”  How much pain and hardship can a person endure? 

Примите боль этих несчастных всем сердцем! Ведь им не прожить без нашей заботы, без нашей помощи! Они тихо умрут, даже не понимая, отчего умерли! Чиновники, которые не считают их людьми и такими же гражданами Грузии, как остальных, сами не знают, что с ними случится завтра!Все деньги, что мы во имя Господа нашего соберём на их содержание, пойдут на помощь этим несчастным! Предлагайте, друзья, чем помочь этим несчастным? Можем распределить помощь на ближайший год и помогать им продуктами и медикаментами. Что ещё можем сделать? Но на все нужны деньги! И немалые! Мы будем раз в три месяца отчитываться перед вами, друзья, о положении семьи на текущее время! Бог всем в помощь!

A beautiful woman is about to regain her natural beauty. Turkish doctors, thank God, give guarantees! If we don’t help now, the spine may break, and the ribs will puncture the girl’s lungs. The sufferer Anna (24-year-old): Inhuman pain doesn’t let me close my eyes even at night! I can’t sleep, and if I close my eyes even a little, I start to suffocate! The spine keeps curving, and today I can’t even take a sip of water on my own! My body has deformed so much over the years of suffering that the spine may break, and the ribs, like deadly spears, will pierce my lungs and heart. And nothing else in the world except surgery can drown out this pain and bring me back to life! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have turned to the Fund and its friends! In Georgia, there are plenty of sufferers besides me. “Anna can’t even sit up from bed by herself.”

In 2017, 64-year-old Tiniko had a cancerous tumor removed from her bladder, but no money was left for follow-up checkups or tests for the poor woman! Instead, they gave her construction materials so she wouldn’t die early under the ruins of her house—a house worse and more terrifying than anything we’ve seen in all our years of work! Oh, and they gave her 50 lari a month to live on! Just look at this crooked shack, standing on rotten beams. Now imagine, for a second, this elderly woman being tasked with rebuilding her house. Such care, right? Oh Lord, Lord, don’t judge harshly those who do not know you! Read this post to the end, and feel this tragedy with your heart, kind people!

This is Saba, a 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. He struggles to walk and crawls on his knees. Despite everything, he’s a very smart and emotional child. But fate wasn’t satisfied with just one cruel illness for this poor boy. Saba also has an open heart valve and strabismus. Kind-hearted people, now every hour counts. The child urgently needs massage therapy because his muscles are weakening by the day, and soon, once he falls to his knees, he might never be able to get up again. This means that Saba could be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. And he’s such a bright, clever boy… He will suffer, bedridden. Please, let’s not abandon this poor boy, left by his father. Any donation you can make, no matter how small, will make a big difference. Saba knows that a kind stranger will share his story with good-hearted people. This clever boy is full of hope.  Let’s not disappoint him. He’s already been let down once, and the wound from that heartbreak hasn’t healed yet.
