Five Georgian children have nothing but bitter, bitter tears and suffering instead of gifts and joyful songs this New Year. Thank God we still have time to bring Santa back to these unfortunate children before Old New Year arrives! Friends, we must urgently help them!

Look at these unfortunate souls, and let their grief enter your heart! The conditions in which these poor children and their parents live are a disgrace to Georgia. They have no one but us, but together we can make 2025 the best year this large Georgian family has ever known. Friends, your help has saved and continues to save dozens and hundreds of lives. Now, five small children are in danger—they live in horrific conditions! The youngest, Luka, is only a year and a half old. This large family is barely making ends meet. The parents struggle greatly to feed their little ones. Only a social canteen saves them.

Unending tragedy! First, one child passed away. Recently, death claimed their second, now grown-up son. A father paralyzed by grief, a devoted mother nearly crushed by sorrow, and a burned-down home. The funeral bell never stops tolling for the Janelidze family.

The Janelidze family was graced with two kind and wonderful boys. Their mother, Eliza, was overjoyed beyond words. And their father, Geronti, would proudly say to everyone, “I am raising two brave sons for my homeland.” Indeed, as the years went by, the boys grew more handsome and, most importantly, were known throughout the Abasha district as well-mannered and kind-hearted brothers. Most people held this loving family in high regard. But envy is a cruel thing—there were those who begrudged the couple’s boundless love and happiness. That envy bore bitter fruit. It is heartbreaking to write these words: neither of those young men is alive today. Gangrene and liver cirrhosis, two merciless diseases, claimed their lives. Since then, every day for their devastated parents has been a living hell. Their poor mother clings to old photographs of her children, and her heart feels like it is being torn in two. No one can truly understand the fiery agony consuming her heart. Eliza’s soul aches in ways only a mother who has lost her children could comprehend. No one else…

He risked his life and shed his blood for his country during the war in Abkhazia, and today he lives in conditions no one should endure—not even a stray dog. What is happening to us, friends? Have we truly lost our sense of duty to our heroes?

A veteran of the Abkhazian war breaks his last piece of dry bread in half. Robert Jakhia was wounded four times in the Abkhazian war. He never feared death—he was ready to give his life for his country. Today, this forgotten hero lives in ruins. Years ago, Robert was hit by a car, leaving him with a damaged spine that required surgery. He has also undergone two hernia surgeries. He’s deaf in his left ear and blind in his left eye due to a wartime injury.

Dali had her leg amputated due to gangrene, she is nearly blind and confined to a wheelchair. Akaki, following a heart attack, now walks with crutches. If it weren’t for their neighbors, this couple would have long succumbed to hunger, cold, and lack of medicine. Friends, they are utterly helpless, like small children!

By some twist of fate, we, dear friends, have become the closest people to this lonely couple. There’s no one else they can rely on but us. Dali and Akaki, both gravely ill, have no home, no medicine, and no food. Everything they once had was sold to pay for medical treatment. They have to move from one place to another just to avoid paying rent. Dali (60 years old): “If not for our neighbors, we wouldn’t be here anymore. We would have died of hunger or cold. The kindest woman, Tea, shares her bread and firewood with us. And she has a family of her own; she’s a mother of many children. We’re so grateful to her. May God bless her! We don’t have children of our own—there’s no one else to take care of us.” How much pain and hardship can a person endure?

Ill children

The Old New Year is approaching—a time when everyone, especially children, is filled with hope for miracles! Four-year-old Saba is waiting with all his little heart for his miracle too! Because if we don’t help make it happen, he may lose the chance to see the light of God’s world. An urgent surgery abroad can restore his sight!

Saba is just four years old. He suffers from a severe retinal disease—retinopathy—that could lead to complete blindness in just a few days. Right now, he can only see objects very close to him. Everything else is like a blur, shrouded in fog. His vision is deteriorating rapidly, and nothing seems to stop it. The day Saba was born should have been the happiest day of his mother’s life. Instead, she heard the devastating words in the delivery room: “Your son isn’t breathing.” Saba’s life began with resuscitation, doctors, and a tough battle for survival. He miraculously pulled through, but it was later revealed that he had a congenital eye defect—retinal detachment – that caused him to lose his vision.

What’s worse: terminal cancer or a home completely burned to ashes? A large family with two little children—a one-month-old and a two-year-old—is crying out for help!

What’s worse: terminal cancer or a home completely burned to ashes? A large family with two little children—a one-month-old and a two-year-old—is crying out for help! But there’s no one to turn to…The six thousand lari that the local government allocated is a mockery of their enormous grief… We are their only hope

How much is a child’s life in Georgia?

Santa has never come to 7-month-old Ernest, 4-year-old Luka and 7-year-old Damian.
How to explain to the kids why? And why does Santa come to the children of shameless officials of the Ministry of Health, who “forgot” to allocate money for the treatment of the 4-year-old sister of these angels, and she died in terrible agony in the arms of her poor Georgian mother from another epileptic attack. A terrible grief!

Big hungry wolf wants some meat

“Merab is our crybaby, he is the youngest, but the most chowhound! He doesn’t let the bread out of his hands, he thinks that we will take it away from him … but in fact we even give him our sausages! Mom brings sausages from the canteen once a week. As many as 10! But we give everything to Merab, he’s little! And we are all adults, we understand that mom has no money. But Merabiko doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t understand anything yet. He just cries: “I want some meat, give me some meat.”

Please, don’t kill me!

“Mom begged him and tried to cover herself with her hands when my father attacked her with an ax,” recalls 12-year-old Nia, and bitter tears start rolling from her eyes. A terrible tragedy happened in the girl’s life. Her own father hacked her mother to death with an ax right in front of her! The girl was only 5 years old then … And how can she live with this pain in her soul, with this insane horror that has settled in the child’s heart since that day?!
“My husband and I did everything for Nya to have a family, so that this pain in her heart would subside. Of course, it will not be forgotten and will not pass completely, but the girl must feel that we are near, that we love her. It’s scary to even think what she had to endure! “- sobs Tamuna (30 years old). It was she, the aunt of little Nia, who took custody of the girl after that chilling event… Despite poverty and the fact that she has three children of her own, a real Georgian woman, kind, loving and caring, did

Mommy, are we going to eat today? I’m so hungry …

– 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!”

Will this great woman, who saved our country and risked her life, leave us with a heavy heart?

“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.

If you don’t want to freeze, jump …

“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!”
