You’ve freed Luka from two years of pain and suffering! You’ve given him back the ability to sit and stand normally. After his massages, he will be able to walk like before. The Gogatishvili family blesses you and considers you their heroes! They send you their warmest and heartfelt wishes! Until Luka fully recovers, he remains under our care. Friends, you can continue to support this family and help with Luka’s recovery and rehabilitation. If you have a heavy heart because of everyday problems or unresolved issues, as a distraction just see our posts on Facebook, or better call any of our beneficiaries, and all your problems will seem unimportant to you, compared with the problems of those to whom you helped in the most difficult moment of their lives.

After the third stroke, which happened 6 years ago, and the death of her husband, mother doesn’t remember anything anymore! She doesn’t even realize that at any moment, if her daughter doesn’t stop him, risking her own life, her mentally ill but once beloved son could strike her and strangle her… This is the same person. Take care of yourselves, friends! This is what illnesses and fear of death at the hands of a very sick son do to people! During a schizophrenic episode, the son strangles his mother, who is bedridden, and screams with an inhuman voice! Name of this young Georgian woman is Anna. Every single day, she sacrifices her life and happiness to care for her mother and brother! A head injury turned the kindest and calmest young man, who once rallied in support of President Gamsakhurdia in a crowd, into a ruthless beast! He was beaten so badly on the head that he is now severely ill with schizophrenia.

What a dreadful word “cancer” is! It sounds like death if there’s no money and no one to expect help from! In the house where we were filming the report, nobody is smiling. A silent cry for help lurks in the dark corners of the rooms! Everyone is waiting for a breakthrough and is starting to lose faith that help will come!
“Look at what the illness has turned me into! And the pain I’m experiencing is unbearable,” the unfortunate mother Salome, tells me quietly, barely holding back tears from pain, almost whispering so the children wouldn’t hear. And then, as if justifying herself, she shows me a time-worn photo where she is happy with her eldest son, Anri, and husband.

May the Lord help our souls open up to God with kindness and compassion during the days of the Great Easter! From the very moment many thousands of years ago when God revealed Himself to people in fire, He has always ignited the hearts and souls of believers with love and compassion! This terrible story is our chance to show the Creator that in Georgia, we’re one family, and there’s no room for ‘someone else’s sorrows’ in our country! That’s what sets Georgians apart from all other nations in the world! Irakli (12-year-old): My brother and I woke up to the sound of fire. The walls were ablaze. My younger brother Rezo and I were choking from the thick smoke, facing death for the first time, but all we could think about was saving little Sesili, pleading with God to spare our sister! In one second, our happy life turned into a pile of ash and dirt!

Hear us, Jesus! Help the unfortunate and don’t leave us without a response! Who should we turn to? For what sins have three good Georgian children been brought to humiliation, left hungry, with nothing to eat, and dressed in rags in this loving yet undeservedly suffering family? Can you imagine, Lord, that just recently, after the child died in front of his mother’s eyes countless times, someone among the officials bothered to send the test results of 6-year-old Grigol, suffering from terrible epilepsy seizures, to Germany!

The hands of the Lord won’t let Mirian depart our world completely: he wavers between life and death, as his sorrowful mother sheds tears. What anguish! Yet, none of the doctors in Georgia, unfortunately, can answer the main question, a dilemma increasingly faced in the foundation’s practice: to live or leave this world for the child? Why did the kidneys fail in this once-beautiful, perfectly healthy boy? Right now, the little one is on dialysis. It’s such an expensive, complex, and painful procedure, which temporarily sustains Mirian’s life! But who can say how many days or months this “temporary” will last? Certainly not in Georgia! Mirian’s mother knows only one thing: if dialysis isn’t done every day, his kidneys will fail, and Mirian will die.
