Blind, sick, and lonely, but very, very kind and good-hearted, 82-year-old grandmother Shura needs compassion and help!
If we don’t lend a helping hand, friends, one day she will quietly pass away, and no one will know! Will we really leave her without assistance? Shura wouldn’t treat us this way! And after all, the ways of the Lord are inscrutable.
Shura: I sit here and think about how to get up and reach my bed… (Tears stream down the face of the blind old lady.) Give me your hand, help me get up. It’s good that you came, sometimes a whole day goes by, and there’s no one to talk to. I constantly need medications, dear, to stay alive. Nutritional supplements for my heart and brain, blood pressure medication, eye drops. I think I won’t even be able to stoke the stove anymore. I’ve become very weak. I’ll probably freeze this winter if the stove goes out, and no one comes to check on me in time. It would be good if I had a gas heater.

Teimuraz seemed to be tortured: they cut off his fingers one by one, then his entire foot, and then both legs… They don’t even torture like that in American horror films! Even the most dangerous prisoners. Teimuraz’s fingers were cut off first, then his foot, then one leg up to the knee, and finally his entire leg. Nine times he lay under the knife, and nine times a man with a heart condition had to say goodbye to his family, since each operation could have been his last! Natela (wife): We went through hell. For two years they tormented my husband, cutting off pieces of him. He has a bad heart and diabetes. And because of these damned anesthesia, his nerves deteriorated. I want to calm him down, but he gets even angrier. He was a healthy man, he always worked, and suddenly he found himself in a wheelchair. How can you not worry? Poverty and disease! Lord, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! And most importantly, medicine so much, but there is no money!

You won’t believe it, but I didn’t utter a single request, yet one day, a miracle happened! I stood by the pharmacy, gazing at medications that I couldn’t afford in a million years. Out of the blue, a striking young man noticed me, worn down by life, and it was as though he could sense my thoughts, the pain in my eyes! Without uttering a word, he took my hand, led me into the pharmacy, and purchased medicines worth 300 lari! I fervently pray that the Lord will forever remember his kindness! She thought her body was made of stone and her heart of ice, but even people like her can break! When the first stroke failed to break her, a second one happened to her and took away her power of speech and then the third one confined her to the bed. But being helpless for a lonely person is the same as being dead. Tina survived, stood up, and learned to speak again. ‘I won’t let this illness turn me into a rotting piece of flesh!’ she repeated every day.

Life for Eka is pain, suffering, and a constant trial for her soul. “The pain is getting worse with each passing day… It feels like thousands of nails being driven into my back simultaneously. Breathing is painful. My spine is so twisted that all my internal organs are deformed. I wonder how they are still functioning. To keep living and not die prematurely, I urgently need to undergo surgery. It will be like my second birth.” But with our income, I could never save up such an amount in three lifetimes. That’s why I addressed you. I know that God will send me the right people through you.’Eka has the most severe form of scoliosis, and her entire body is deformed. While this condition used to bring her only discomfort, now it slowly kills the girl. “This disease spared no one, and Eka is not an exception. People don’t die from scoliosis, but from the complications that accompany this disease. Eka finds it hard to breathe right now, and later, she won’t be able to eat… and what then?

I beg you! I don’t want to die of hunger and cold! Take care of me before a torturous death does its vile deed! “Will you help me? Will you bring me some food? I am so hungry! Won’t I freeze this winter? But maybe I won’t live until winter? I am very ill! What if something happens to me somewhere? Or if the dogs bite me? Or if I fall with my sick leg and breathe my last breath after so much suffering? Who will find me? Probably only crows will touch my lifeless body.” – Grandma Nana looks at us with fear and sobs like a child. Cunning epilepsy and brain diseases have forever kept her in a childlike state… If you only knew how tough it is for her and in what dreadful conditions this poor, sick child has to live. She needs our help the most right now.

In this so-called house, if you step on the ‘wrong’ spot, you might lose your leg. Only ruins remain from the former school. The building was in such a horrendous condition that authorities, fearing for the students’ lives, had to close the school. What a ‘touching’ concern for the students, right? But for one family, in the eyes of the local authorities, living in this building with two children is not a problem. One more or one less family in Georgia – is it such a big deal? They think it’s not a problem! But this is how they think – those without warm Georgian hearts! But not us, and not the 94,000 subscribers of the website. Friends, please subscribe, or we might lose not just this family – there are so few of us already!)
