This is Roma Tordia. He is 18 years old and has been in a coma for a year. Roma Tordia was once a successful professional dancer, a multiple gold medalist, a son that all of Samegrelo and Georgia were proud of. This exceptionally talented boy was predicted to have a great future. But on July 3, 2023, a tragic accident turned the sky of Samegrelo black. The thunderous news broke: “Roma was in an accident and seems to have died.” The doomed cries of his mother and grandmothers reached the heavens. Even the rocks wept for the boy who grew up as an orphan.

It was unbearable for his parents to watch their only son suffer. The child grew up and gradually lost the ability to move
Time passed, seasons changed, but nothing changed for little Luka. His world was as small as the distance from the bed to the window. And then September 1 came – the day when Luka’s peers opened the school door for the first time, but Luka was still bedridden due to an insidious illness and could not even move. A boy with great intellectual abilities, with tears in his eyes, asked his parents what he had done wrong, why he wasn’t like other children. This question pierced the hearts of his parents like a knife. That’s how the years went by. Our little boy grew up. It’s been 4 years now, and the father has been heroically caring for his bedridden, paralyzed son. After his wife’s passing, he learned to cook and bathe his only son with his own hands. Today, Luka is already 35 years old. He’s at an age where he could be enjoying life with a wife and children.

Mishiko crawls on the floor and makes strange sounds… He is stopped by his 7-year-old brother Gela. He is afraid that Mishiko will hurt his hand again on the rotten and cracked floorboards. Mishiko screams louder and tries to crawl away from his brother, who is desperately trying to hold him back. They are alone at home. “Dad went to buy bread, and mom is in heaven,” says Gela.

For five months, Georgian doctors have been unable to diagnose this unfortunate boy. Giorgi’s time is running out! Five months ago, a completely healthy boy suddenly fell ill, and since then, the sound of death’s footsteps has grown louder and louder in the Ochkhorashvili family. The child is suffocating. He coughs so loudly it seems like his lungs are torn. He has stopped talking and makes sounds as if someone has cut his vocal cords. He can only get food and water through the tube, but he vomits it back out. The oxygen machine is the only thing keeping him alive. But for how long??? The boy’s life timer is on. Turn on the video and you will hear the sounds of death! Father Giorgi and Nikoloz and Gogi’s mother are begging for help to raise money for the trip to Germany for an examination! We will announce the cost of the surgery once we receive the papers! Lord, help! Since there are already very few of us left in Georgia….

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!

Anna (mom): And now I have two seriously ill children in my arms and a life full of suffering! Because I feel everything that my children feel! Every mother in the world has such a connection with their children. “Poor Nikoloz was oprated on his legs three times. And according to the doctors, he won’t survive a fourth surgery! They advise against it… But who knows? Maybe the friends of the Fund have surgeons who will give another advice?”. For 31-year-old Anna, every day begins with a battle. Her hands tirelessly toil, she does everything with love and utmost effort! But in the silence of the night, when her children fall asleep and the world stands still, her soul trembles with pain. “If it weren’t for my husband, I would have collapsed myself. The children especially need affection – they constantly ask us to pick them up. And my husband has a severely diseased heart – he needs treatment too! I won’t survive alone! He’s such a kind person, he worries so much about the children.”
