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…

Here is my love! Her name is Tamta! She loves me no less than I love her! I will never, never abandon her! But we really need the help of kind hearts! “Of course, I chose my sick and very frail daughter! Because I’m her mother! She’s my one and only,” Rosa, the mother of the sick girl, says. We’ve been inseparable for 33 years, and we can’t imagine life without each other!” Rosa (mother): Until she was 7, I fought tooth and nail for Tamta’s health. I sold all my valuables and even dishes. But my daughter has had cerebral palsy since birth. She can’t walk, talk, or use her hands. But a miracle happened despite her condition! She’s smart and understands everything! She has a loving heart! Poor thing, it’s heartbreaking to know that she’ll spend her entire life in a wheelchair. “When my husband refused to accept her, I made the only right decision and I have never regretted it! What mom can just take and forget her child? And it was the best decision of my life!

Due to the incessant itching, the baby cries day and night without relief! “Nicholas’s whole body is covered in sores. His skin is cracked, itchy, and bleeding. Exhausted, he is ready to tear his skin off, and when he is not allowed to scratch his wounded body, he cries and screams so much that it breaks my, my sick mother’s, and my husband’s hearts! – says Mariam, the boy’s mother. And all this horror happens just because the doctors made the wrong diagnosis. Such a cute boy! Poor thing almost died during the week he spent in the intensive care unit!”

The worst part is that the children suffer here! They not only breathe air poisoned by mold but also endure the air of disdain among their peers and certain teachers at school! Shorena (the mother) How can I explain to the teacher that I can’t afford to buy a computer for my child? That I will never be able to save up for one in my lifetime? And she says, “Everyone managed to do it, so can you.” It’s so cruel! When you don’t have money, everyone looks down on you, doesn’t consider you a human being… Nino (13-year-old): Many children tease us, flaunting their new things and giggling. And we have nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just recently, we all had a fever, and my mom couldn’t even afford to buy us medicine. – Shorena, from the moment I entered your house, I had only one thought: how do you live here? Shorena: If you can call it living… We’re just trying not to die here. Holding on as long as we can. But our strength is running out. Everything went haywire after my husband’s dea
