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.”

Look at this little angel, how beautiful she is. Her eyes are so deep, so full of expression…  Just one glance into Anna-Maria’s eyes, is enough to feel that her little heart is full of kindness. Yet a cruel fate threatens to stop this kind heart beating orever. We can’t let that happen! No! Kind people, besides the fact that Anna-Maria’s surgery couldn’t be planned due to financial hardship, her mother now faces another big problem. There’s no one to stay with the child while she goes to the clinic to collect the documents needed for her surgery. If you’re reading this, and you’re a nursing student, a medical student, or simply someone with a compassionate heart, please consider giving Anna-Maria just a few hours of your time. This kindness will return to you in the most difficult moments of your life. Kindness never disappears without a trace!

“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!

Beso started collecting scrap metal at the age of 10, right after his father passed away. Now, because of his health problems, he can’t find a job—he suffers from epilepsy. Heavy work triggers severe seizures. Passersby have found this poor man unconscious in the street many times. But he keeps going back to the dump for the sake of his children! Because if he doesn’t, there’s no one else to feed and clothe them. His youngest daughter, Elene, is just four months old! She doesn’t even have a stroller.
