The goal of our Fund is to open the hearts of the fund’s friends to the Lord! And the Lord shows us more and more new misfortunes! Thank you, Lord! Because from story to story, we increasingly become the people You intended us to be when You created mankind! Meet Maia! She is a former orphanage resident and she was sheltered by kind people for some time. Maia is 58 years old! She is lonely and deeply, deeply unhappy! And in her old age, she suddenly found herself in the position of a homeless dog! In November 2023, my room burned down in the dorm where I lived, – says Maya- you can’t imagine what it’s like to turn into a homeless dog at my age! Because the local authorities put me in a completely demolished former police station! Fate turned away from her early in her childhood when her parents left her and placed her in an orphanage. Little Maia sat by the window, waiting for her mother to come for her… waiting to be remembered.

Instead of bringing the joyful news of her son’s birth to the young mother Eliso, they said: ‘Oh, mother, how unlucky you are! You gave birth to a sick boy. Leave him. Turn him over to the research institute. He will only bring you suffering. He won’t live anyway…’ It was from these words that the beautiful and carefree life of the woman began to crumble. And for 25 years now, her soul has been consumed by pain and endless sorrow. Eliso: ‘Leave him here, in the research institute,’ they advised, hoping to use my little son for their experiments. But I couldn’t allow my son to be turned into a guinea pig. Since then, I’ve sold the house, taken on debt, and gone everywhere with the child in search of a cure! I refused to listen to those doctors who said that Giorgi was hopeless. But when the doctors had exhausted all our resources, they told us that cerebral palsy was incurable! That was the doctors’ verdict! Now he is 25, and he has not uttered a single word. He can’t even say where

Until the age of seven, Tedo couldn’t move a single finger. He wouldn’t have been able to swat away a wasp even if it were eating his eye. The doctors said he would die, but his mother brought him back from the brink every time! Before you is a gravely ill and unfortunate but handsome Georgian boy, Tedo! Until the age of seven, he lay in bed neither alive nor dead. During childbirth, the baby likely slipped from the hands of the midwife and injured his head, even though he was born perfectly healthy! A tragedy beyond comparison befell Tedo’s family! One day, a wasp landed on the boy’s eye, and he couldn’t brush it away. Unlike bees, wasps sting without provocation. They are just aggressive! It’s a miracle that Shorena, the boy’s mother, was always by his side. Just a second more, and Tedo might have lost his eye! My God, unfortunately, you have heard so many such stories from us, friends, about many Georgian hospitals, especially those located in the provinces, far away from Tbilisi.

The scoundrel husband left the unfortunate woman as soon as he found out that their son was born with a terrible disease – autism! Georgi clings to his mother like a child who can’t live a day without her love. So handsome and so miserable. Two deeply unhappy people, two tragedies. Mother and son—they are alone in this cruel world. Without means to live, without food and medications, and with the relentless threat from their landlord to throw them out like dogs onto the street! to this joyless life with all I have. Because if I die, what will happen to Giorgi? His father and my other child—my daughter—forgot about us long ago. Sometimes Eteri looks sadly at old photos, remembering when she was happy! Besides Giorgi, she had a beloved daughter, Nini. Such a sweet little girl. But as she grew, by the age of 14, she suddenly became cruel! She lost her heart and conscience, never to be found again by her dying mother!

Iamze (the mother of these two adorable kids!): “I’m an orphan with living parents! My children have no grandparents. My husband is in prison for the second time! He deceived me when we got married. At first, he stole, and then he turned out to be a sadist and beat me so hard in front of the children that now I’m very afraid for their mental health! And I understand: he came to me because of housing and wanted to kill me! And the children… He never loved our children! He would give them away to strangers. Such children!!! I’m not asking for anything for myself, but I won’t be able to live if my children are not saved from hunger and cold in winter! They shouldn’t repeat my terrible fate!”

Not long ago, the eyes of the four little Berdzenishvili children from Saguramo were filled with sadness and fear. The little angels were eating dry bread.  Eleven-year-old Dachi went to school in old clothes. The beautiful sisters – Barbare, Nini, and Anastasia – dreamed of toys and new dresses. The children slept on rusty beds, and their bones ached. The children’s father is ill and unable to work, and their mother couldn’t leave the children alone, so poverty had taken deep root in their home, and hopelessness shone through the eyes of the four little angels. Today, for the first time, their eyes shine with happiness because a miracle has happened and all their wishes have come true. We share with you a photo collage that once again convinces us that kindness is a blessing from God within us.  With every good deed we come closer to the Lord.
