Both in appearance and spirit, Zurab and Galina resemble gentle and innocent blind children navigating through a dense forest teeming with wild and bloodthirsty beasts! And there’s not a single strong and kind hero around to protect them! “It’s very, very hard to live when everyone wants to deceive you,” says Zurab, who endured two years of deceitful treatments from fraudulent doctors, promising to restore his sight while the nerve in his eye had long since perished. The doctors drained the last pennies from the family! Oh, if only we could find them and look into their “rotten” eyes… Some “beasts” are suing them to take away their apartment, while others are waiting for their death from hunger and cold, because then they will be able to seize the apartment completely for free! That’s why the latter have deprived them of any social protection: the elderly receive mere pennies of social assistance and are inquired…

Mrs. Manana is a nurse by profession. She dedicated her life to caring for others. But now she is alone. Alone with the illness, pain, and hardships that life has dealt her. She has no one to empathize with her, to give her water, or, as she says, to bury her. For more than a year, she has been unable to eat on her own. She can’t go to the bathroom or even approach the window to see the sun. She has no food, medicine, refrigerator, washing machine, gas, or heating. But first and foremost, she dreams of having a bed.
The bed in her home is an old broken sofa with books instead of legs. It’s impossible to lie on it.

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.”

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.”

Barbare is just one year old, and her tears never stop. These beautiful eyes have never seen joy. Her unfortunate parents, Ira and Avtandil, waited for the birth of a child for 10 years not to see only her tears, suffering, not to witness their long-awaited child die and come back to life in the mother’s arms several times a day! It’s all due to the negligence, lack of compassion, and carelessness of the doctors!

Magda (12 years old, blind in both eyes): The world without sight is like a vast dark labyrinth. I can’t see the world, but I feel it. I can hear, touch, and smell, but I will never see the beauty described by others.
Living in horrifying poverty is already a tremendous challenge, and adding the loss of sight to it makes the situation truly hopeless. Each of us carries a glimmer of hope, but what is it like when even the brightest light cannot penetrate the darkness?
Friends, let’s bring light into the lives of these wonderful people! Urgently needed are very expensive, yet essential medications, as well as funds for examinations! There is a chance that at least one child in the family will be able to see!
