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…

Irma chains to a rusty bed in a five-square-meter dark room and suffers… The woman has no husband or children. Her parents are also dead. Yes, the poor woman is completely alone and cannot even get out of bed to drink water. Irma was completely healthy, but the death of her beloved mother affected her so much that she developed an insidious disease. The woman began having problems with mobility back in 2009. However, due to poverty, she was unable to see a doctor. Poor Irma’s health worsened after the death of her mother. In 2019, doctors diagnosed the poor woman with multiple sclerosis.

Low-income families
Being a single mom in Georgia is a sentence! When your kids are little and you can’t leave them alone to go to work, it’s twice as hard. The meager allowance is enough for nothing, especially after the increase in food prices. “When I run out of money I literally turn into beggar: I have to ask for food either in the store, or from the neighbors,” – says mother Natia, hiding her face in her hands with shame. Every single day she asks her children to forgive her for not being able to be a good mother for them. Not for such a life, she asked the Lord to give her children!

Lika (6-year-old): Mom hugs me very tight in the morning to keep me warm. Then we have tea. Then mommy leaves me with a neighbor, and she goes “tormenting” the cow.
– What do you mean – “tormenting“?
Lika: Well, how to say… Well, so that she gives milk. Milking… Can you do that?? My mommy can! She is something! But I don’t know yet how many cows she has to milk so that I can go to the dancing classes. I still can’t count to that much. (Little Lika talks and gently strokes her mother on the cheek.) I never want candy. I never ask my mother to buy it… But sometimes she brings them to me herself. But I never ask. It’s true!

“But then the worst thing in my life happened! I dropped the ice cream from my hands… I waited for it all summer, and then mommy managed to save money to buy it.”
Gvantsa (10-year-old): That’s how it was… I was so happy when my mother said that the day had come when my dream would come true! I put on a nice dress, and we went to buy ice cream. A real one, for me! It cost 80 tetri.

Every evening the children say these words like a prayer, but by standing in front of the portrait of their mother, not the icon. They tell her how they behaved, what did they do… Sometimes they even ask her for help. Their mother died two years ago of a terrible disease – cancer!

Six-year-old Sophia and her three-year-old brother Andria often have these tummy sounds. Their daddy is sick, very sick. He almost died five years ago. We will tell you about that later. We will tell you about how one accident can turn the happy, carefree life of any family into hell. No, we are not scaring you. We are trying to wake you up.
The fact that children have the right to receive healthy food is rather an exception to the rule in Georgia. This is not a typo, but a sad reality. There are a lot of families in Georgia where children do not eat normally – they do not eat at all. They eat from time to time, while mom saves a meager allowance. This post, like most of our posts, will be about hunger… We will repeat it again: children should not grow up in such poverty! They shouldn’t be hungry!
