Givi (75 years old): “There is no greater misfortune than blindness. I suffer so much, I would rather lose my legs than my eyesight. I can’t even afford the eye drops that might save me from going completely blind. Is this really a life?”
Olga (85 years old): “You won’t find a family in greater need than ours in the entire village of Tkviavi.”
These elderly people are surviving on week-old bread. Can you imagine? And there’s no one to help them. That’s why their only hope is you—kind-hearted people!
Not long ago, Olga fell and broke her arm. The poor woman had to undergo major surgery. Doctors had to reconstruct her arm and insert metal implants.
She now needs medical check-ups, but the family doesn’t even have enough money for a basic X-ray. They don’t have a washing machine either. Just imagine how hard it is for an 85-year-old woman to wash and wring out laundry with one hand.
