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.”

Lord, give Beka a chance to recover! The suffering angel Beka can still be healed and have his life prolonged!” Tamar (mother): ‘One wrong move turned my son into a disabled child. Doctors in Batumi cannot help and say we urgently need to go to Tbilisi! Lord, protect all mothers from such a fate! – How did it all happen?! Tamara: I was in the last month of pregnancy and all my thoughts were with the child, who was about to come into this world. Following the doctor’s advice, I was walking around the yard when suddenly a rooster attacked me. Startled, I reflexively tried to move away quickly, protecting the belly of the one I already loved more than life itself! And… I fell onto my abdomen!

His psychopathic father forced his severely ill son to beg on the streets. With the money Giorgi collected, the father would get drunk and then beat his son with an iron rod. This is our new problem, friends! A very serious case! 21-year-old Giorgi was born with Down syndrome. He cannot walk or talk and has the mental capacity of a three-year-old child. Giorgi lives in a damp basement infested with rats. His bed is so uncomfortable that even a stray dog wouldn’t sleep on it. Rusty wires sticking out from the bed cause Giorgi pain, and when he sleeps, rainwater drips from the ceiling.

This is the horrible scene we witnessed when we visited the Javellidze family. 11-year-old Mariam had so severe attack, she couldn’t even breathe. Thank God, kind neighbors rushed in and helped her mother revive the poor child. Mariam’s mom is a group 2 disabled person. Do you think these terrifying attacks are the only problem this girl faces? Unfortunately, no. Brace yourself, now I have to tell you the worst part. This little girl has a disease that usually doesn’t occur in children her age. At just 11 years old, Mariam has a severe form of diabetes. This horrible disease started one year ago. But what I’m about to tell you will chill you to the bone. This 11-year-old child injects herself with insulin every day. God, it’s unbelievable!

This is fourteen-year-old Saba. Confined to a wheelchair, he suffers from terrible pain. Saba has had cerebral palsy since birth and cannot walk. His legs are so severely twisted that he can’t stand on them for even a second. What did this little angel do to deserve such torment? Saba is cut off from the world. Yes, the child is cut off from the world… Oh, how awful those words sound. You live in this world, but you are rejected by it. Just imagining it makes one’s blood run cold.

I have always dreamed of becoming a military man, of defending the Motherland! God gave me this opportunity! But today the machine gun falls out of my hands! Bring me back to life! I must be on my feet and with my loving family! Only the thoughts of surgery in Turkey and a complete cure keep me in this world! And my wife Sofiko and my beautiful daughter give me strength to fight and live until the trip to Turkey. But when there’s no money for medication, I start having seizures, and I beg God to relieve me from this torment and take me to Himself! Forgive me for my weakness! But without medication while awaiting surgery, I feel nothing but excruciating pain!
