The greatest tragedy captured in a single photograph—this angelic little girl caresses her bedridden uncle and pleads for him to get better soon. In her other hand, she holds a picture of her deceased father. She doesn’t yet understand the meaning of the word “death”. Anano can’t comprehend why her father hasn’t come home or why he no longer showers her with affection. When the Fund’s correspondent visited their home, the happy child asked the “stranger auntie,” “Is Daddy coming home soon?” Oh God, how hard it is to hear those words from a child! Kind people, we cannot bring back the father of this 4-year-old girl, but we can save her uncle. He can become a father to Anano and, most importantly, he can still become a father himself. Only you, kind people, can turn the sound of mourning into the joyful ringing of a new family’s happiness—a family made up of a 21-year-old girl and a 24-year-old boy. The clock is ticking!  Every minute counts!

Imagine the moral suffering this young woman endures! And she still has to become a wife and mother! For a woman, being disabled is one of the greatest tragedies in the world! Those of you reading this post right now, imagine for a moment your beloved daughter suffering from such a terrible physical defect! Thanks to modern technology, it’s possible to restore this beautiful girl to full health. But she needs Western doctors and very expensive materials. Ani is too shy to ask for help with getting a prosthesis. “How can I bother strangers?” she whispered, bowing her head so that I, the reporter, wouldn’t see the tears in her eyes. Dear friends! At the Fund, we are confident that as you read these words, kind hearts will see in this lovely girl a daughter, a sister, or even a granddaughter.  By showing compassion, we can give a new life to this beautiful and shy Georgian girl. She will tell her children about the kindness of her compatriots, and most importantly, that only good deeds bring us closer to the Lord. No one in the world can do more for God! Help us, Lord!

Here is my love! Her name is Tamta! She loves me no less than I love her! I will never, never abandon her! But we really need the help of kind hearts! “Of course, I chose my sick and very frail daughter! Because I’m her mother! She’s my one and only,” Rosa, the mother of the sick girl, says. We’ve been inseparable for 33 years, and we can’t imagine life without each other!” Rosa (mother): Until she was 7, I fought tooth and nail for Tamta’s health. I sold all my valuables and even dishes. But my daughter has had cerebral palsy since birth. She can’t walk, talk, or use her hands. But a miracle happened despite her condition! She’s smart and understands everything! She has a loving heart! Poor thing, it’s heartbreaking to know that she’ll spend her entire life in a wheelchair. “When my husband refused to accept her, I made the only right decision and I have never regretted it! What mom can just take and forget her child? And it was the best decision of my life!

Мarina: The pain would not go away even for a second. Pieces of flesh are already falling off me. I’m all rotten. My skin festers and bleeds. I could not even imagine that anyone could endure such pain. The only thing I dream about is to die. Death seems so sweet to me. I don’t want my son to see his mother decompose before his eyes.” Help me at least die with dignity! Please don’t leave my boy alone in this cruel world! He must study. Perhaps these are my last words!

Beka himself can’t work, and his poor mother doesn’t have the money for a prosthetic leg. Without it, navigating stairs is a challenge. He often falls, and there’s no one around to lend a hand to help him up. It’s really embarrassing for him to have to rely on strangers to get up, like a cripple! Imagine trying to go downstairs without a prosthetic, sometimes falling, in a house without an elevator! And after one of those falls, he might not even be able to get up! The staircase is steep! While his peers are out enjoying themselves, making friends, falling in love, and planning their futures, he spends entire days by the window! But for him, the world outside is daunting, harsh, and colorless: “What do I see in the future? There’s nothing there, just emptiness, total despair.” Nino (Beka’s mother): “My son was only 24 when he had a severe heart attack. The surgery lasted 9 hours. And now, he has diabetes. Then came the gangrene, and now my dear boy is without a leg!”

Irma chains to a rusty bed in a five-square-meter dark room and suffers… The woman has no husband or children. Her parents are also dead. Yes, the poor woman is completely alone and cannot even get out of bed to drink water. Irma was completely healthy, but the death of her beloved mother affected her so much that she developed an insidious disease. The woman began having problems with mobility back in 2009. However, due to poverty, she was unable to see a doctor. Poor Irma’s health worsened after the death of her mother. In 2019, doctors diagnosed the poor woman with multiple sclerosis.
