Look at these unfortunate souls, and let their grief enter your heart! The conditions in which these poor children and their parents live are a disgrace to Georgia. They have no one but us, but together we can make 2025 the best year this large Georgian family has ever known. Friends, your help has saved and continues to save dozens and hundreds of lives. Now, five small children are in danger—they live in horrific conditions! The youngest, Luka, is only a year and a half old. This large family is barely making ends meet. The parents struggle greatly to feed their little ones.  Only a social canteen saves them. 

Who knows, maybe these are the last hugs between father and daughter…
12-year-old Magda embraces her father, trying to prevent the death of the person she loves most in the world. Magda knows that without a heart transplant, death will take her beloved father. Magda’s father, 49-year-old Jumber, has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. Three years ago, this poor working man was diagnosed with this terrible heart disease, but due to poverty, he couldn’t receive treatment or buy the necessary medications, and now his condition is critical. He feels as though someone is choking him—he can’t breathe, he feels suffocated, and his heart hurts terribly, both physically and emotionally. Is there anything more heartbreaking than the fact that a father fighting for his life can’t afford the medications due to his poverty?

Gio has experienced clinical death four times in a row! Just imagine what his mother must have gone through, watching her son die in her arms—it’s a pain no one should ever endure. The harrowing fear left her with diabetes. Gio was born healthy, but life took an unexpected turn. At the age of two, he was diagnosed with epilepsy, a condition they have not been able to control. Later, more devastating diagnoses followed: cerebral palsy and autism. His condition worsens every day. He suffers up to 10 seizures daily, none of which can be stopped by medication. Gio urgently needs to undergo medical examinations and start a new treatment plan, but there’s no money for doctors. The family survives on Gio’s disability pension and social allowance, which isn’t even enough for basic food. Gio, his sister, and their mother are often left hungry. Thank God for the food provided by the social canteen; without it, they would have starved to death.

Elza’s life is nothing but suffering.  She was born with a severe form of scoliosis. Her spine is so badly twisted that the constant pain makes her vision go dark, crushes her lungs, and leaves her gasping for air.

A massive hump on her back makes it difficult to sleep, breathe, or walk.

Elza (41 years old): “I can’t take this pain anymore. I didn’t sleep a single minute last night! What did I do to deserve this suffering since birth? Why is God punishing me like this?”

Despite her condition, Elza sleeps on an old, collapsing couch. All night long, she moans in agony. Painkillers don’t help, and she can’t afford to see a doctor.  Her only income is a disability allowance and her mother’s small pension. But it’s nowhere near enough for treatment.

Elza: “If I don’t take my medication on time, I could die. But at this point, I’m not even afraid of hell after death—because I’m already living in it!”

As if her spinal disease weren’t enough, Elza also has diabetes. She’s run out of test strips to monitor her blood sugar, and she has no money for medicine. Just a few days ago, she collapsed and was unconscious for a long time. You know what that means. Her biggest fear is slipping into a coma and never waking up again.

Elene, 7 years old.
Diagnosis: Hydrocephalus, Spina Bifida.
What help is needed: Surgery in Turkey
Surgery cost: $15,000
Illness doesn’t ask permission to come—it strikes children, adults, regardless of age. It enters a family, dividing life into “before” and “after”… It brings fear, pain, and uncertainty. No one is immune to it… And it’s so important that kind people are nearby at such moments. We thank you, Lord, for sending us this beautiful child, little Elene.  Thank you for giving us a chance to save her from pain and endless suffering! Please help! And soon, you’ll see the result of your kindness!  

Friends, Murman needs long-term rehabilitation. But the family, now without their only breadwinner, has no money for this. They’re surviving on social allowance and disability payments, barely enough to cover his medications and essentials like adult diapers. Murman’s wife doesn’t even have the money for a taxi to take him to therapy. It may seem like someone who’s bedridden doesn’t need much, but in reality, the opposite is true. Every month, Murman needs medication, special care supplies, and an anti-bedsore mattress. His wife is at his side 24/7 and can’t work, so she’s unable to meet all these needs alone. Your support is crucial! Your prayers mean so much. Let’s wish Murman strength and his wife patience and love, because love can work miracles. May God bless you!
