The life of a young woman, Inga, and her three small sons has turned into a struggle for survival. Six months ago, the family lost their sole breadwinner. An instant death from a blood clot took away the children’s beloved father. He was the cemetery caretaker. Although the family lived modestly, the children lacked for nothing. Inga, the mother (39 years old): “It’s very hard for me to cope alone; it’s unbearable. But now I have to be both a mother and a father to my children. There is no other way. When my husband was by my side, I felt strong. Together, we easily handled any problems. It’s very hard for us to be without him. He was a wonderful father and husband. How sad that Maho – a kind-hearted man – left this world so early. May God take him into paradise.” Now, month to month, the family lives on social allowance and the pension for their asthmatic child. This barely covers food and medications. Giorgi needs expensive medications every month.

Become a good wizard – help the children. Each of these little ones is waiting for help and hoping for a miracle. Together, we can bring joy to these angels and create a comfortable living environment for them! First and foremost, the children need clothes and shoes, they need to be prepared for kindergarten and school, and the family needs beds, mattresses, a wardrobe for their clothes, and help to repair the ceiling. These well-mannered, smart, and humble kids will never forget the kindness you show them!  By helping others, you draw closer to God!  

Look at this wooden hut. Even cattle would be spared and would not be allowed to spend the night here. However, unfortunately, it is not cattle that live here, but these five angelic children. At the slightest breath of wind, the house rocks like a cradle. Before going to bed, the children ask God for the morning to come for them. At this age, children think about toys. In the Khachiperadze family, the only concern of the children is to save their own lives. These brick walls were built with the help of the local government for the Khachiperadze family (Baghdad Municipality, Obcha village). However, there are only walls here. No floor, no windows. The children’s mother, Inga Samadalashvili, who is raising five children all by herself, is embarrassed to ask kind people for help, although she has a great desire to do so. Before leaving, the five little angels, with tears in their eyes, addressed the Fund’s correspondent – “Auntie, Mom has no money to finish building this house. If kind people help us, to make at least just the ceiling and the floor, we promise that when we grow up and work, we will repay these people with kindness.”

The Makhitashvili family, whose fragile roof collapsed during a hurricane, no longer has to huddle in a temporary shelter. From an abandoned school building, they’ve finally returned to their home. Who knows how long they might have suffered if the Chernovetskyi Fund hadn’t written letters to the officials responsible for their welfare. The result of our reminder was impressive – the local administration stepped in and built the Makhitashvili family a new roof.

Terrible things are happening, my friends! Eight-year-old Zauri has epilepsy. Can you imagine, the child hasn’t taken any medication for three months!!! Because his poor parents can’t afford either the pills or even food. They live in constant fear now, not knowing when Zauri might start having seizures and collapse dead. On behalf of myself and the Fund, I urge you: let’s give this family the warmth of our hearts and show how people in Georgia support each other, even when they are complete strangers! This is the essence of generosity—helping those you don’t know without expecting thanks in return!

“Just a week after you highlighted our need, our empty home was filled with furniture, appliances, and children’s clothes!” – says Eter. “In a week, you solved problems that other organizations ignored! With you, I don’t feel like a beggar; I feel heartfelt attention and support. People call me every minute, asking what we need and how the little ones are doing. And I tell everyone that everything is wonderful now!”
