Look at this little angel, crying bitter, heartbreaking tears. Do you think she’s crying because she dropped a toy or wants candy? Oh, if only that were the case. This little girl is crying because her bottle is empty, and she’s still hungry. Yes, still hungry. But… God, it’s so hard to write these words. In fact, words aren’t even needed—these pictures say more than words ever could. This is the Manukyan family. Seven little children… Seven little angels sent to Earth by God. Seven pairs of sad, innocent eyes. Why? Why? How can this world bear so much injustice? Some people have so much that they’ve lost even the ability to find joy in it. Meanwhile, others dream of nothing more than a warm bed. Kind-hearted people, the children’s biggest dream is to finish covering the greenhouse. If these hardworking children had a functioning greenhouse, they could grow enough food not just for their family but even to sell some. The Manukyan family would have a steady income, and maybe one day, one of these children will grow up to become an entrepreneur and help other needy families. But until that day comes, we need to extend a helping hand to the Manukyan family. These angelic children will never forget your kindness. And years from now, in a world beyond this one, we will stand before the Lord, and God the Father will open the doors to His Kingdom, where we will forever rest under His grace.

Ill adults
Their living conditions are heartbreaking. The woman, who suffers from spine issues, sleeps on a wooden couch; they need beds, mattresses, and warm clothing. The roof leaks so badly that during rain, water pours inside as if they were outdoors. The windows are old, broken, and drafty, making the room freezing cold. They don’t have a heater or firewood; a kind neighbor lent them a heater, but they must return it in ten days, and they’ll be left shivering. If they fall ill, they won’t have money for fever medicine. Winter is approaching, the weather is worsening, and rain is frequent, making it harder for them to leave the house. Nona and Nino don’t even own warm jackets! Our support is more crucial than ever for these two vulnerable women. They are waiting for the support of Chernovetskyi Fund friends. Let’s help them through the winter – let’s give them a chance at life.

This is Angelina, an 11-year-old girl – delicate and beautiful, like an angel. But if you look into her eyes just once, you will feel her suffering. She was operated on twice, and part of her intestine was removed, yet doctors still haven’t confirmed a diagnosis. She needs another surgery to remove the painful growth you see on her stomach. One growth has already been removed. If we unite, these little angels won’t have to sit in a cold, dark room during the freezing winter nights. Yes, winter is coming soon, and the sun’s warmth will no longer be enough for these poor sisters. Kind people – let’s not leave sick Angelina and her sisters in such dire straits.

Friends, Murman needs long-term rehabilitation. But the family, now without their only breadwinner, has no money for this. They’re surviving on social allowance and disability payments, barely enough to cover his medications and essentials like adult diapers. Murman’s wife doesn’t even have the money for a taxi to take him to therapy. It may seem like someone who’s bedridden doesn’t need much, but in reality, the opposite is true. Every month, Murman needs medication, special care supplies, and an anti-bedsore mattress. His wife is at his side 24/7 and can’t work, so she’s unable to meet all these needs alone. Your support is crucial! Your prayers mean so much. Let’s wish Murman strength and his wife patience and love, because love can work miracles. May God bless you!

– 5-year-old Anano asks her mother plaintively and pulls her by the hem. “I am hungry too! Mommy, do we have any bread?” – echoes her younger brother Shotiko (3-year-old). “Wait a little, honey, maybe the neighbor will bring us something,” – mother Gvantsa (29 years old) replies affectionately and strokes her kids’ hair. “The fridge is empty, I can’t calm them. I’ll have to ask the neighbors again,” the young woman explains us sadly, as if justifying herself. I turned away to hide my tears and confusion. “Lord, I will endure any torment, just not to see my children starving!” – the poor young woman cries bitterly. “We used somehow to make ends meet, but now we cannot find any work, and the transport does not work … Sometimes the day goes by so that the children have only tea without sugar and bread!”

Older people living alone
“Well, I used to get under fire when shells exploded next to me; my baby daughter died, and my big and healthy son died too … I never thought that I would live so long, that I would have to fix my glasses with a scotch tape … I never thought that I would hardly hear my own daughter. But I can’t complain, I’m 97! It’s quite a lot! Dear, age is just numbers! I have a scout’s heart. And a human gets used to everything.” She went through terrible things in her life: war, bloody mess; she survived her husband’s beating; her two children died… The terrible story of her life has almost been written, but, dear friends, God gives us a chance to write our own ending.

“In my dreams my mother always smiles, but in reality she cries and cries,” says 12-year-old boy Yura sadly. Little Anna immediately joins our conversation: – We really, really love our mom! Let me teach you how she teaches us to warm our fingers. Do you know how?! – Why do I need it? – I ask the girl. – You are so funny! You are already an adult, but you don’t know why! If it gets cold, they can break. Or don’t you need your fingers? “Misfortune literally haunts me,” poor mother Araksi cries bitterly. – My husband kidnapped me, then betrayed and abandoned me; my parents turned their backs on me… And a year ago my father died, he used to be our only support and protection … We are alone in this world and absolutely no one needs us!”

“I miss him very much … I want to hug him and to play with him so much. He is cold there. And mommy and I are cold here …” Little Tea misses her father. A healthy man, he suddenly died. He left his girls alone – his wife Lia and his 6-year-old daughter Tea. They are absolutely alone. And they have nothing… “That’s how she talks about her dad all day long. Sits by his photograph, tells him how we are getting on. She was very attached to him. She loved him very much. She loved him even more than me. Father’s daughter! It’s very hard for me too. Can you imagine how it feels to lose a perfectly healthy man in a week? My world has turned upside down, the earth has disappeared beneath my feet. I don’t know what to do, how to live… I try to restrain myself, not to be too emotional. I know that he looks at us from heaven and helps us.”

When I asked them: “Can you remember anything good?” – the girls just looked at each other and shrugged. They haven’t got a single bright memory in their life, though they are quite adults: Anna is 17 and Barbara is 16. They do not remember their mother, they can hardly remember their father, they only remember their grandmother. Old and sick … She died in their arms. The only dear person. This is not a New Year’s story, it will not make our hearts feel warm, and we cannot change the past of these sisters, but maybe we will be able to change their future … Who knows, maybe miracles happen on Christmas Eve? The tragedy began when Anna’s and Barbara’s sister was born… Yes, you heard right. Their mother strangled the baby while feeding. “Probably by accident,” says Anna. “Maybe not,” adds Barbara. In 2006, their mother was sent to prison for 9 years. The girls have not seen her since.

Even at Christmas they will be hungry and cold. When delicious smell of roasted piglet and fresh pastries comes from their neighbors, they will just take some bread, close their eyes and imagine how delicious it is … They are used to it, they always do like that. One can endure hunger and cold… But what then? Who will these children be when they grow up? What will they become if they don’t have any childhood?
