Luka is just one week old. The baby cries endlessly from hunger. He doesn’t get enough milk, but his parents have nothing to feed him with—they are too poor to buy baby formula. It’s hard to understand someone else’s pain if you’ve never experienced anything like it yourself. Think about it! What if, God forbid, it were your children starving?  How would it feel to see your little son or daughter crying from hunger? The only food in their home is bread brought from a free canteen. But should this be the diet of a breastfeeding mother and her children?

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!

A beautiful woman is about to regain her natural beauty. Turkish doctors, thank God, give guarantees! If we don’t help now, the spine may break, and the ribs will puncture the girl’s lungs. The sufferer Anna (24-year-old): Inhuman pain doesn’t let me close my eyes even at night! I can’t sleep, and if I close my eyes even a little, I start to suffocate! The spine keeps curving, and today I can’t even take a sip of water on my own! My body has deformed so much over the years of suffering that the spine may break, and the ribs, like deadly spears, will pierce my lungs and heart. And nothing else in the world except surgery can drown out this pain and bring me back to life! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have turned to the Fund and its friends! In Georgia, there are plenty of sufferers besides me. “Anna can’t even sit up from bed by herself.”

Natia has experienced moments that break the strongest hearts. Her son, Zuka, came into the world, literally fighting for his life. But the joy of the long-awaited birth of her son was mixed with worry and eternal fear.

This little angel is six-year-old Nita. When she was born and first opened her eyes, their deep sea-blue color mesmerized everyone. They shimmered like summer waves at dawn. But fate was cruel. Soon, her family received devastating news

Nita was diagnosed with congenital optic nerve atrophy. Her vision is nearly nonexistent: 0.02% in one eye and 0.04% in the other. My God, this is worse than a nightmare. Lacking the money for proper treatment, her poor family could not afford surgery. Had this angelic girl been born into a wealthy family, she would have been sent abroad for treatment without delay. But Nita was not so lucky—her family simply cannot afford it.

They don’t even have a home of their own; they live temporarily in someone else’s house. But they are honest, hardworking people who earn their bread with dignity – and they are raising their children the same way. Honesty is rare these days, but Nita’s parents hold onto it firmly.

The real tragedy is that Nita cannot see at all in daylight. The sun makes her eyes water constantly, and she can’t even open them – let alone see anything. It is pure torture.

Thirty-five-year-old Georgy had to undergo six surgeries in a year. Outsmarting death became his main occupation. Neither he nor the doctors understand how he is still alive. According to all medical rules and common sense, with cancer, severe internal bleeding, blood loss, and failure of vital organs, he should have been gone long ago. But his two little daughters, Nitsa and Anita, outsmarted both death and all the laws of science, and wrote a “new law” for their beloved father, under which he simply has no right to die. Even after everything he has been through! “Giorgi has been cheating death for a year now… the score is now 6:0 in Giorgi’s favor.”
