“Did you come to help my brother? Did not you?” We’ve been waiting for you so much! I thought every passing car was bringing helpers. He really needs help! He’s such a good person! It’s heartbreaking to see him like this! He’s always crawling. You know how hard it is? I tried it once, and my knees hurt so much I almost cried. And he crawls like that his whole life. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself! Really! Go home and try it, then you’ll understand how hard it is for him…” – Eight-year-old Sergei greets us from the doorway as if he’s rehearsed a speech, because to him, we’re the saviors. Well, not us, but you, friends, who listen with your hearts and are open to good deeds!

Friends, a family with seven children has reached out to our Fund for help.  The little ones are crammed into a single room with a leaky roof. They survive solely on social allowance.  But honestly, it’s hard to understand how they manage, especially with both the father and one of the daughters being seriously ill. Father and daughter. Barbara is a special child, she’s 8 years old and has an intellectual disability. She’s irritable and constantly needs medication. Without sedatives, she won’t sleep through the night. She needs home schooling, but the family can’t afford a special teacher. The father has a hernia and needs spinal surgery. But instead of going to the hospital, he takes on side jobs to support his family, risking his health even though he’s not allowed to lift heavy things. The mother works as a janitor through a social program, leaving her two-year-old twins in the care of her older daughters. Despite their efforts, the parents have to buy groceries on credit to keep the children from going hungry.  Tinatini, the mother, knew her future husband came from a poor family even before they got married, but she wasn’t afraid of the financial struggles. For her, love and understanding are what matter most. 

“I beg you, please don’t cry over me,” says Tamara. “I’m still alive and I believe that I’m not alone among my Georgian compatriots! There is still a chance to get me on my feet The only problem is that my mom doesn’t have any money at all! She’s even more unfortunate than I am. This cursed fibroma is dragging her into the grave!! And yet, despite the doctors’ strict ban, she continues to carry me around! Why does she deserve such sorrow? She’s just an ordinary Georgian woman!”

This is 15-year-old Gigi. The child has had cerebral palsy since birth. He cannot walk, he cannot even stand for a second. The poor child crawls on his knees. And he cannot speak either, he only makes indistinct sounds. The little boy suffers and asks for help with his eyes. The child’s condition is complicated by microcephaly, which is a rare neurological disease. The child is a disabled person of the first group. According to doctors, as a result of appropriate treatment and surgery, the child will be able to move and speak. We have a chance to perform a miracle! This is exactly the case when we can show God our best human qualities!

Every parent knows that nothing is more terrifying than seeing your own child suffer from an illness. Watching your baby in pain and being powerless to help is unbearable. We urge you to hear the plea of a mother desperately seeking help.  There is no stronger bond than that between a mother and her child. Don’t pass by. Don’t wait for someone else to help. Your support could be the real chance to save this little boy’s life. Let’s help this young, close-knit family! Together, we can work a miracle for Lazare and give him the chance to walk on his own legs!

This is Saba, a 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. He struggles to walk and crawls on his knees. Despite everything, he’s a very smart and emotional child. But fate wasn’t satisfied with just one cruel illness for this poor boy. Saba also has an open heart valve and strabismus. Kind-hearted people, now every hour counts. The child urgently needs massage therapy because his muscles are weakening by the day, and soon, once he falls to his knees, he might never be able to get up again. This means that Saba could be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. And he’s such a bright, clever boy… He will suffer, bedridden. Please, let’s not abandon this poor boy, left by his father. Any donation you can make, no matter how small, will make a big difference. Saba knows that a kind stranger will share his story with good-hearted people. This clever boy is full of hope.  Let’s not disappoint him. He’s already been let down once, and the wound from that heartbreak hasn’t healed yet.
