Raul was only 20 days old when a high fever caused him to have severe seizures. There was no doctor in the village, and by the time they got him to the district center he got paralyzed. The devastating diagnosis was cerebral palsy (CP). His parents were shocked – they hadn’t yet recovered from a horrific tragedy: their firstborn daughter, just 1 year and 8 months old, had died of diphtheria. Imagine how hard it was for them to accept their son’s condition! For 26 years, Raul has lived with constant pain. His left leg is so twisted it can’t be straightened. Raul’s spine is severely curved, which has deformed his internal organs. Even breathing is painful for him. He cannot go without painkillers and sedatives. He’s been in a wheelchair since childhood. It has replaced his legs, as he cannot take even a few steps on his own.

As soon as Khatia saw the Fund’s correspondent at her door, she couldn’t hold back her tears and cried out: “I want to get out of bed! Please, help me! Help me!  I will pray for you on my knees every day!” Dear friends, you need to understand—Khatia has been bedridden for over a year, unable to leave her home. Her elderly parents don’t have the strength to lift her and transfer her into a wheelchair. The family’s expenses have skyrocketed: daily care for a bedridden person, prevention of bedsores, diapers, pads, ointments… It’s a situation impossible to manage without outside help.

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!

The second, most complicated operation costs 15 thousand dollars. The only hope for these unfortunate mother and daughter is you, good people! There is very little time. According to Turkish doctors, if Natia does not undergo a second operation in a few days, then the good result of the first operation will not only be “lost”, but Natia’s condition will also worsen, and why, the doctors explained to us in detail, but we will not bother you, dear reader. Remember that by donating at least one lari, you can save not only Natia’s life, but also her poor mother-heroine, who spent her entire youth and old age in suffering, watching the hellish torment of her daughter. Let’s give joy to this heroic woman at least in the last years of her life.

Dear people, this young woman has been rejected by everyone and abandoned in this world. She was rejected by her mother from the moment she was born. Since then, Lana has not experienced a single day of happiness in her life. Abnormal illness, poverty, hunger, humiliation… What has this poor woman done to deserve all this? She lived in a monastery for 4 years. Then, for certain reasons, she had to leave the monastery and has never looked back (the real reason was shared with the fund’s correspondent but requested to be kept confidential). Despite the unbearable hardships (both financial and medical), she has never lost her sense of dignity. Today, abandoned by everyone, Lana is dying quietly, without a sound. Just as no one rejoiced at her birth into this world, perhaps no one will mourn her passing. She may even go unnoticed…

If the title shocked you, we do not recommend reading the post about the Chikvaidze family. Those words are not the most horrifying part of this story. The family consists of four people: Giorgi, his wife Nato, and their two charming children, 4-year-old Dimitri and 2-year-old Anna. Currently, only Anna is free from any illness, as the rest of the family members cannot boast of good health. Giorgi suffers from epilepsy and a herniated spine. Nato has mental health issues. She speaks with difficulty. Sometimes she falls into a deep depression. How not to fall into depression? Her children are all alone in the world, surrounded by danger!
