Older people living alone
In 2017, 64-year-old Tiniko had a cancerous tumor removed from her bladder, but no money was left for follow-up checkups or tests for the poor woman! Instead, they gave her construction materials so she wouldn’t die early under the ruins of her house—a house worse and more terrifying than anything we’ve seen in all our years of work! Oh, and they gave her 50 lari a month to live on! Just look at this crooked shack, standing on rotten beams. Now imagine, for a second, this elderly woman being tasked with rebuilding her house. Such care, right? Oh Lord, Lord, don’t judge harshly those who do not know you! Read this post to the end, and feel this tragedy with your heart, kind people!

Ill children
When he was just a month and a half old, he had heart surgery. However, it wasn’t enough. The child’s condition is still critical, and according to doctors, he may need a second, more complex surgery, which requires further tests. The poor single mother doesn’t have the money to take them to the doctor. What I’m about to tell you, dear readers, is truly horrifying, and it is very hard for me to write these words, but you need to know this. The twin brothers have only one teat, and when they both cry at the same time, their mother has to take turns giving it to them. God, just the thought of this is enough to drive someone mad.

Look at this photo! For a moment, it might seem as though someone opened a grave and photographed someone long deceased. But 43-year-old Indira is still alive. Her heart still beats. But this young woman is being consumed alive by stage four cancer. Two years ago, while pregnant with her third child, she was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. She was operated on fifteen times in just a month and a half. God, it’s hard to believe. Since June, she’s been unconscious in intensive care.

One fateful day, the peaceful village of Babi in the Kharagauli municipality was engulfed by the terrifying roar of fire. The house where eight children lived was completely consumed by flames. Thank God, all the children made it out unharmed, but imagine how painful it must be to see your beloved home, your cherished belongings, books, and toys burned to ashes. The family lived in poverty and didn’t own a single valuable item, but our love for things doesn’t come from their price. Sometimes expensive things mean nothing to us. Sometimes a cheap item is far more precious. Friends of the Fund, winter is coming soon to the mountain village, and these little angels will have to bathe outside in the freezing cold. Then, after catching colds, they’ll lie down on sheets spread out on the floor, because they don’t have beds. Cold wind will blow in through the broken window onto the sick children. There’s no pharmacy in the village. Somehow, these children survived last winter. But they won’t make it through another…

Terrible bats fly right into the room from these windows and can grasp into your hair. Sometimes I think that they can rip out my eye, – says 8-year-old Mariam and shows us a window covered with cellophane. The life of other children behind this window seems so sweet and beautiful. So sometimes you want to turn into another girl, live the life of other children for at least an hour, and then the memories will probably last until the end of your life. But Mariam has her own dull and hard life. Life, which is upholstered in cellophane, tasting of stale bread, smelling dampness, and terrible bats.

Let’s smile, my friends! It’s because of all of you that little Marikosha is filled with happiness! Her smile is meant just for you! Marikosha: Do you remember how I begged for new clothes and books for school? Mom said we couldn’t afford it. But you told me that I would have everything I needed! And you know, I know that Mom is always right, but this time you won! Now I have everything I ever dreamed of. They brought me beautiful dresses, hairpins, and look at these books! Now I can show off my beautiful clothes just like the other girls. And you know what? I often look at myself in the mirror and try different hairstyles – I never used to like looking at myself, because I’m not like everyone else!

“I really want to have many friends, but the children do not want to play with me. Sometimes they close the door in my face. And I start to feel a tingling in my chest …” – says ten-year-old Anna-Maria, pointing with her fingers where it tingles. – “Do you know when it also tingles? When I want crunchy treats and my mom has no money to buy them. In the end, this tingling tires me out, and I start feeling sad.” Here she takes a sad pose, and then continues: “Mom said that I am special, I even call myself in a special way – Marikosha! Ma-ri-ko-sha! But I don’t want to be special anymore. I wish I had many friends, many toys, and many sweets! Just like other kids!”

But there really was a fire. A strong one! They cut off electricity and gas for the entire neighborhood so that firefighters could put out the Karkusashvili family’s apartment. Now they are starting life from scratch in a renovated by city hall, but completely empty apartment. Now you have to sleep on the floor, eat standing up like a heron, play without toys. Mom Natia can’t buy anything new, in no way – she left her job to look after the “dangerous” Mari. Dad won’t buy anything either – he’s in jail now. So, Nikoloz is angry with Mari, at everything together and bludgeons her.

Several months have passed since this tragedy happened, and the baby still wakes up at night screaming and thinking she is on fire… And every time she asks her mother: “Can people burn twice?”
