In our beloved Georgia, many people are not just below the poverty line – They are in tremendous need! And the worst part is – they have no one to rely on except for us. If we don’t help, some will become lifelong incurable cripples, others will die, and still others will perish from unbearable suffering! Schoolchildren won’t attend school – they have nothing to put on! They lack basic gadgets! They’re alone – like in a wild desert – alone with sorrow and suffering! Social allowance in Georgia are lower than in many African countries! The country is emptying: no jobs, no future… Without us, friends! And we just have to give them a chance at life, to give them pride in the country, in its good people, who for thousands of years have historically helped all who have come to us!

By helping the poor, the sick and the unfortunate, you lend a helping hand not to them – but TO THE SON OF GOD! “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40)

The Lord gives us a chance, friends, to give the most precious gift in the world to Nikoloz: to give him life! The little one has cancer. Three years ago, his stomach started aching, and his mom thought he had eaten too many chips, but the pain only became stronger! “And the doctors gave an almost fatal ‘verdict’ – KIDNEY CANCER!” Nikoloz (7-year-old): Yes, Auntie, I have cancer. They took me to hospital and did not let me out from there. They told me: ‘If we let you go, you will die’ – and I got scared! Very scared! Then they urgently ‘flew’ me to Germany, took X-rays, then cut my stomach open and found cancer there. I don’t know what it is, what it looks like – but I know it’s scary! They removed my kidney. Then I came back home, but I felt bad again and we had to go to Germany again, and they removed my spleen and something else. Then they gave me a lot of medicines, did some radiation, transfusions, and chemotherapy to shrink and stop the cancer. I felt better. I won’t die,

Thank you countless times for deploying large-scale help! Thanks to more than two thousands of your active responses to this story, much has been accomplished for the Kantelashvili family. The support has been amazing! Thank you very much, friends, from the whole team of the Chernovetskyi Fund! Among the unresolved issues is the fact that the family does not have a bathroom. Also they do not have a heater for winter. None of us wants Alexi to go back to scrap collecting. We can avoid this by continuing to help the family. Join the ranks of the project’s regular helpers! And if you’re feeling down about household problems or unresolved issues, take a second to look at our Facebook posts. Or better yet, call any of our beneficiaries and all your problems will seem unimportant compared to the problems of the person you came to help in the most difficult moment of his life.

If you want to curse a man, just tell him: “I wish your children were sick. And that’s it – he’ll be the most miserable person on the planet. “I don’t know how I find the strength to live, how I manage not to go crazy.” I think God gives strength to mothers who have sick children. I have two sons and both are sick. Gabriel, 5, and Lasha-Giorgi, 18-month-old. Gabriel has cerebral palsy – he can’t move or do anything on his own. Every month we lie in the hospital or in a rehabilitation center, and Lasha-Giorgi, a martyr, has been in an intensive care unit since birth, hooked up to machines. I haven’t even taken him in my arms, haven’t hugged him. He probably thinks he doesn’t have a mother.”

“Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a soldier. I wanted so much to defend my homeland. And now I know that I will be confined to this bed for the rest of my life,” little Georgiy said these words with deep sorrow, as if pouring his heart to me. And I immediately lost all the words of support I had prepared to say to the boy. 14-year-old Giorgi has Duchenne muscular dystrophy (progressive). The child cannot move around even with the help of a wheelchair. The muscles of all his organs are exhausted. This disease has not reached only the heart muscle. “What will happen then?” The child will die,” was the reply of Nana, Giorgi’s mother, and she wept bitterly. – I even feed him lying down… If I had a special bed, he would at least eat sitting down.”

When I asked them: “Can you remember anything good?” – the girls just looked at each other and shrugged. They haven’t got a single bright memory in their life, though they are quite adults: Anna is 17 and Barbara is 16. They do not remember their mother, they can hardly remember their father, they only remember their grandmother. Old and sick … She died in their arms. The only dear person. This is not a New Year’s story, it will not make our hearts feel warm, and we cannot change the past of these sisters, but maybe we will be able to change their future … Who knows, maybe miracles happen on Christmas Eve? The tragedy began when Anna’s and Barbara’s sister was born… Yes, you heard right. Their mother strangled the baby while feeding. “Probably by accident,” says Anna. “Maybe not,” adds Barbara. In 2006, their mother was sent to prison for 9 years. The girls have not seen her since.

Khatuna is 29 years old. She can hardly remember when her foot stepped on the ground because too much time has passed. “Even in my sleep I can’t remember how I walked,” Khatuna says with resentment. “But I remember how great it was!” Her mother became her legs, her mother became her hands. Her mom became the whole world for poor Khatuna. She has no friends, no one she can talk to. Her peers treat her like a baby, children shy away and point fingers at her… It all hurts her so much… That has killed the tortured heart of Khatuna and her guardian angel – her mother Darejan – so many times.

Every morning 90-year-old Giorgi opens his eyes, and tries to understand whether he is still alive or already in a coffin. He is completely blind. A terrible cold is around him, as in the grave! A living person is buried alive … And there is no one, no one nearby! Can we pass by the enormous human grief of an old man who could be the grandfather of our children? “I don’t want to die blind. Help me to see the sun at least once! I will definitely tell the Lord about it later! “

Little Zaliko is writhing on the couch while his mom greets us. “Whoo!” – he cries in a plaintive voice. “He wants me to take him in my arms”, – his mom says. “Whoo”, – the baby keeps whimpering. “This auntie came to see you – she wants to see what a handsome boy you are.” – “Whoo!” -Zaliko replies loudly, in his mother’s arms. “Sure”, – his mom responds.

“I wake up, sit down … While sitting I say to myself: “Well, are you still alive? Can we handle it today? Do you want to eat? Let’s go shopping”. It has lasted 11 years! After my TV went out of order, I have been lost completely. I don’t know when the day comes, when the night comes, what date it is. I go out and wait until someone greets me to ask them what day it is, what time it is, what is happening in the world … Then I pick myself up, take my stick and go to the nearest store to buy some bread. Though I’m blind, I still need food. The store seems to be close, but it takes me three hours to get there. Sometimes a cow butts me, or I run into something, fall down, lose my orientation, turn off the road…
