Ill children
I have never seen so many hopelessly unhappy, sick, and poor people in one family together before! Recently, this family already buried little Lazare. And now they are losing their second child… Elene has a critical vitamin D deficiency, and it causes numerous health problems for the child, but the family cannot afford to take her to a doctor due to poverty. However, dear readers, I must tell you the most important thing now. The child’s eyes are sad because she fears that her sister Barbara will die just like her brother Lazare. Elene loves her older sister more than she loves herself. “Aunt, did you come here because we can’t buy me medicine, and will you help us? I beg you, aunt, help my sister instead of me,” the child said, and a large tear rolled down her blue eyes. A grief-stricken mother now only hopes that kind people will save her Barbare. The child urgently needs a genetic test in Germany. The family, displaced from Sukhumi, doesn’t even have their own home to sell. They have nothing, absolutely nothing of their own.

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.

Lazare: I don’t remember what I ate yesterday… Mom brings food from the free kitchen, but it’s not enough for everyone. There are four children in our family. Whoever gets to it first, eats. I didn’t get any because I was playing outside. So I stayed hungry. God forbid anyone should have to look into their own children’s hungry eyes every day and not be able to feed them. Let’s unite and help these wonderful children. We believe in your kindness and compassion! Doing good is easier than it seems!

This hug with her mom could be the last for the beautiful 16-year-old Maggie. How terrifying! Her loving mother has already died once – her heart stopped! And only a miracle brought her back to life! Now her heart is kept beating by a pacemaker! But for how long? Meet Zhanna, friends: she is 44 years old. Not long ago, the heart of this still young woman suddenly stopped! It stopped completely, and death approached. The ambulance brought her, almost dead, to the hospital. Her only 16-year-old daughter wept bitterly over the loss of her mother. And then the Lord worked a miracle – a true miracle, and the doctors who witnessed it kept crossing themselves for a long time afterward! The doctors performed emergency surgery and implanted a pacemaker. Zhanna urgently needs repeat heart surgery; otherwise, her chances of survival are less than one percent. However, cursed poverty prevents the unfortunate mother from getting this urgent surgery. Medications temporarily sustain the desperate woman, but meager social allowance does not even allow her to buy the medications! According to the documents, the value of a Georgian woman’s life has been set at $8,300—money the unfortunate woman has never even seen.

Can you imagine a dying, still young 41-year-old woman, gravely ill with a constant temperature of 39–40 degrees, sometimes managing to get out of bed to collect scrap metal just to buy medicine for herself and her severely ill children, and of course, some food? At least for them – for the children – she loves more than life! A horror that cannot be described in words! God forbid any of us to experience such a thing!!! We ask the friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund to respond and take this family’s plight as their own! The most important thing God has allowed us to do in this life is not to pass by someone else’s misfortune! First and foremost, we need to take care of the mother. If something happens to her, God forbid, we will never forgive ourselves! It’s unimaginable how the sick children will cope without their mother. Mom is sacred to them, that’s all they have.

Damned poverty! How beautiful and tender they are! They ask for nothing… Such tiny ones, but sorrow has already settled in their eyes! Inga (mom): Every day I look into the hungry eyes of my three children. Is there anything worse than this? May the Lord protect you from such trials, kind people!!! But know that my little ones wake up every morning hungry and their tummies often hurt. Dry bread, water, and 500 grams of pasta once a day – that’s the daily ration for my three little ones. And my youngest son, 4-year-old Gio, has recently started losing consciousness and fainting from hunger. Oh, Lord!

After all, I have to dress and feed everyone, and on top of that, there’s Nikoloz’s terrible illness! “Every new day, I wake up with the words, ‘God, grant us to live one more day,’ as if we’re walking through a minefield.

Tsiala (the mother): “Before the surgery, the doctor told me: ‘Keep in mind, I’m taking him in, and I will return him twice as tall as before.’ Seeing my son standing up straight is indescribable!” For all of his 17 years, Shalva walked with bent legs due to cerebral palsy, leaning on his mother or grandmother’s hand. And for all those 17 years, he dreamed of standing up straight, walking on straight legs. A few days ago, the family experienced that thrilling, long-awaited moment. For the first time, Shalva’s mother, grandmother, and the entire family saw him as he was meant to be – tall, stately as a cypress, and with the happiest smile. The entire country helped Shalva get on his feet. Friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund funded the surgery in Yerevan. “He’s now taller than me and his mother! – says grandmother Manana. – This is the greatest day in our and his life!”

Their parents won’t even make it to the hospital – they are seriously ill themselves! The children can still be saved, but expensive examinations and doctors are needed to learn about their illnesses, and all this requires money! But most importantly, what is needed is compassion! Together, we can help them! “Doll, cake, bed, and a block… lobio, table…” – little Mari repeats over and over, bending her fingers so as not to forget something. She’s not just asking for herself but also for her little sisters – they don’t know how to ask.
They are so unfortunate and defenseless that it makes my heart bleed! There is no one to take care of them but us, friends!

“I sometimes want to die from the pain and incessant itching. Sometimes, the pain is so intense that it clouds my vision, and even medications do not always cope with it. It’s tough for a single person to stretch their pension to cover all their needs.” – says Julietta, trying not to show desperation in her words. “Every step is given to me with great difficulty. Every step for me is pain.”
