Both in appearance and spirit, Zurab and Galina resemble gentle and innocent blind children navigating through a dense forest teeming with wild and bloodthirsty beasts! And there’s not a single strong and kind hero around to protect them! “It’s very, very hard to live when everyone wants to deceive you,” says Zurab, who endured two years of deceitful treatments from fraudulent doctors, promising to restore his sight while the nerve in his eye had long since perished. The doctors drained the last pennies from the family! Oh, if only we could find them and look into their “rotten” eyes… Some “beasts” are suing them to take away their apartment, while others are waiting for their death from hunger and cold, because then they will be able to seize the apartment completely for free! That’s why the latter have deprived them of any social protection: the elderly receive mere pennies of social assistance and are inquired…

Natalia, a true Georgian, faces all procedures with remarkable resilience! She’s so beloved by all the doctors at the Turkish oncology clinic that they pray for her recovery! The beauty of Georgian children is irresistible! Back off, you cursed cancer, leave the little one alone! She’s still far too young to endure such suffering!
Natalia is only 1 year and 8 months old. But the entire staff at the renowned Turkish oncology clinic has already fallen in love with her. Poor thing, they found a tumor in her body that had clenched onto her spinal vertebrae like a relentless predator. Kiss your healthy children more often, friends! And remember, you’re the luckiest people in the world! Thank God, your child is healthy and doesn’t plead with you with beautiful eyes and tears to save them from terrible pain!

In the deep, dark corner of a dilapidated house, within an empty room, lies a father of a large family. His eyes are full of sadness and fear for each member of his family. His tears are the most bitter in the world! During every choking episode, he bids a farewell to his wife and children! So terrible! His story is not just a personal story. It is a tragedy and a cry of all the sick and suffering in Georgia! The ways of the Lord are mysterious, my friends! We all understand this wisdom! We can’t count on anyone in Georgia except ourselves! Let’s lend a hand to the family because we are their last hope!

Ketevan (Saba’s Mom): “Comfort me, reassure me! Tell me that children don’t die from crying all the time, do they?” Help me! I don’t know what is happening to my son! He cries all day long… then he gets tired and falls asleep. And then it starts all over again. And immediately bombards me with a barrage of questions: “Do you know if people can die from crying too much? Can children die from tears? And is it not dangerous if you don’t eat and cry all the time? Tell me, tell me, please!”

And I realize that without having a doctor’s diagnosis and the funds for a proper examination abroad, she is not asking me a question. She’s just clinging to any shred of hope like a drowning person, desperately seeking reassurance from me, just something comforting. Yet, quietly, I turn away, trying not to break down, not wanting to provoke more distress in a family where tears already flow continuously!

Theona and Ramaz’s story began like any other couple in love! Then they prayed and waited for a child for a whole 10 years! And a miracle happened! The nine months of pregnancy were the happiest in their lives. They were already picturing the joys of long-awaited parenthood! They debated what their little girl’s first word would be: “mama” or “papa”? “But our happiness didn’t last long,” Teona says. – God help! At the age of 8 months, Elene’s eyes started to roll back…Georgia’s most famous neurologist calmed us down and prescribed her a whole bag of expensive medications. But he sternly warned us: If you don’t give even one, the child will die!” But I felt in my heart that something was wrong because things were getting worse. And here we are in Turkey, where we came with our last money – ours and our kind neighbors

Mariam is sick with all the diseases of the world! There isn’t a single healthy spot on the small, tormented body of this unfortunate child! She was born with multiple diseases: everything hurts the girl! Her liver was located in the intestine, she has multiple heart defects, an open arterial duct, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, multiple rib fractures… She spent 6 months in the intensive care unit. She fought for her life, battled with death, and survived. Her mother was told that the girl is under God’s protection because children like her usually never survive.
