A mere sip of water could prove fatal for two-year-old Gabriel. His soft palate didn’t develop properly, and he can’t cry due to a congenital heart defect. For the past two years, he’s been living on the edge. No one knows when or why this ticking time bomb will go off. He can’t be left unattended for even a moment! He might choke on his own tears while crying or even lose consciousness. God, please spare any mother from experiencing such a trial.

“This is not a home, but a pile of stones and iron! It’s a dangerous place! Be careful when you pass by! Don’t enter yourselves, but leave a piece of your soul here! We must stop this time bomb. In these ruins, which disgrace our nation, two unfortunate women eke out an existence – 64-year-old Asmat and her seriously ill daughter! If Asmat dies, her dearly beloved daughter, who is completely helpless and unwanted by anyone else in this world, would immediately follow her. She is like a 3-year-old baby! She can only love her mother. And the mother, who needs help herself, bathes, dresses, feeds, and puts her seriously ill daughter to sleep.

Look at this wooden hut. Even cattle would be spared and would not be allowed to spend the night here. However, unfortunately, it is not cattle that live here, but these five angelic children. At the slightest breath of wind, the house rocks like a cradle. Before going to bed, the children ask God for the morning to come for them. At this age, children think about toys. In the Khachiperadze family, the only concern of the children is to save their own lives. These brick walls were built with the help of the local government for the Khachiperadze family (Baghdad Municipality, Obcha village). However, there are only walls here. No floor, no windows. The children’s mother, Inga Samadalashvili, who is raising five children all by herself, is embarrassed to ask kind people for help, although she has a great desire to do so. Before leaving, the five little angels, with tears in their eyes, addressed the Fund’s correspondent – “Auntie, Mom has no money to finish building this house. If kind people help us, to make at least just the ceiling and the floor, we promise that when we grow up and work, we will repay these people with kindness.” 

“If I die today, my grandson will die tomorrow, or maybe he will be buried alive with me, because nobody wants him but me! Nobody wants him… his mother left him, and his father left him. They left their sick child and found happiness elsewhere” – says Malardo and hides her eyes. She is ashamed for Soso’s mother and the father. Who needs a sick man? And they are still young, they can give birth to new and healthy children!

May the Lord help our souls open up to God with kindness and compassion during the days of the Great Easter! From the very moment many thousands of years ago when God revealed Himself to people in fire, He has always ignited the hearts and souls of believers with love and compassion! This terrible story is our chance to show the Creator that in Georgia, we’re one family, and there’s no room for ‘someone else’s sorrows’ in our country! That’s what sets Georgians apart from all other nations in the world! Irakli (12-year-old): My brother and I woke up to the sound of fire. The walls were ablaze. My younger brother Rezo and I were choking from the thick smoke, facing death for the first time, but all we could think about was saving little Sesili, pleading with God to spare our sister! In one second, our happy life turned into a pile of ash and dirt!

18-year-old Lika, along with her three sisters and devastated mother, are crying out to our hearts and to God for help! Lika’s imminent death has a name – the terrible disease of Alzheimer’s! If we don’t help now, it could take her any day! Four years ago, a neighbor’s boy accidentally threw a stone to knock an apple from a tree, hitting Lika’s central nerve in her head. Poor child! She immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground in terrible convulsions. That day, her joyful childhood ended.  From then on, the Tsukhishvili family’s life turned into a living hell. Lika needs expensive medication and, of course, a thorough examination in Turkey! Together, we have already saved many children in our country. We refuse to believe the verdict of Georgian doctors! May the Lord help restore Lika to a full life! But without us, His hands won’t touch the unfortunate one!
