You’ll be shocked when you hear what happened to this young woman: Irma was healthy and working as a nanny. One fateful day, she went to bed as usual, but when she woke up, she couldn’t move. She was paralyzed. Poor thing! She was bedridden for nine months, trapped in agony and helplessness. Doctors diagnosed her with spondylosis—a severe spine condition.  To afford her surgery, her husband sold every valuable they owned. A woman whose life is now endless pain and suffering, and a man who has devoted his life entirely to her. God sent Irma not only a difficult trial but also a guardian angel in her husband, Avtandil. His selflessness is awe-inspiring.  Caring for a bedridden, severely ill wife, endless medications, rehabilitation, sleepless nights… and this has gone on for four years now. His love seems boundless. Irma’s world is now confined to four walls. But everything could change—with your help!  To ease her condition, she urgently needs medical exams and supportive therapy with costly medications. Regular rehabilitation is also essential to help her walk. Irma can live without pain. Give her hope!

When Otar and Tsiuri got married, they often pictured themselves 40 years down the line, laughing joyfully together. The newlyweds envisioned their old age in a warm home, with a cup of hot tea, surrounded by children and grandchildren. They dreamed of a sweet old age, but life’s twists and turns took this couple down a very different path. Get ready, because what I’m about to share will make your soul weep.

A mother, sick children and husband are at death’s door! There’s no money for medications, and the children are humiliated at school! Friends, the Lord gives us the opportunity to open our hearts and souls to Him! To do good deeds and help our fellow countrymen—children and adults—who have never seen a joyful day in their lives. A lump rises in the throat. Words are unnecessary here.

Kind people, Narek and his poor mother have only one hope now, and that’s you.  This mother and son are true heroes – heroes forgotten by everyone. But not by us!  We won’t forget them, and we won’t abandon them in their time of need. Dear friends, only through your kindness can we turn the painful pages of their story and write a new chapter filled with hope and happiness.  Compassion and love can work miracles!
