Mariam has a severe form of cerebral palsy. She’s eight years old, and for eight years, the family has suffered alongside her. She doesn’t talk, can’t walk, and is confined to a wheelchair. Medea: “Since birth, she hasn’t been able to see or hear. She cried constantly, day and night. We’ve raised her through suffering.  Many people advised us to abandon the sick child, but we never even considered doing so. As long as my husband and I are alive, we will be by our daughter’s side.” Mariam has such severe convulsions that her mother fears she might break her bones. Can you imagine the pain and suffering this little girl endures? Not every adult could bear it!

Our help can work a miracle for these parents, who can’t imagine life without their son. How much suffering the Kavtaradze family has endured!  Nikusha’s father is a second category disabled. When he was four years old, an accident deprived him of an eye. Mom has an aneurysm. She often faints and suffers from headaches. Nikusha had an older sister, Liza, but the family lost her when she was just three months old due to a severe case of the flu. There are now four children in the family. 

Eleven-year-old Nika suffers from severe epileptic seizures, each one like a small brush with death. Where once his intense convulsions occurred once a month, now they strike every other day.  His mother has learned to manage the episodes but lives in constant fear for his life. The family can’t afford medicine or diapers. To leave children without a life-saving pill is to condemn them to torment! Like any other children, Andria, Nika, and Anna deserve to live happily, explore the world, and enjoy a carefree childhood. But they can’t do it without our support.  Help is needed urgently – there’s still time to make a difference, but it’s running out!

This is 7-year-old Alina. Look at these photos and you will immediately understand that the little angel is fighting death with all her might. The girl does not give up, but her little heart can no longer stand it. She can no longer endure this. Who knows, maybe one day she will surrender to death forever. No!!! No!!! We must not allow this! We must not leave the little girl alone in the face of death, otherwise we will never forgive ourselves. Alina’s kind heart will forgive us, but our conscience will never, never forgive us. Kind people, pray for Alina. Prayer has the greatest power. Whoever can, lend a helping hand to the Ambartsumyan family, and this kindness will definitely come back to you. Little Alina must live! The girl’s dim eyes must shine brightly again!

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.

Karina: “These are the exercises I do with my daughter every day. It’s our entire treatment! Sometimes, we don’t even have enough money for food! And I’m walking around in torn shoes myself!”
“The problem is, I often suffer from terrible headaches too! But going for a consultation – there’s no money for that! And then I’m helpless… And my heart aches for my child!”
How far is a mother willing to go for the health of her child? What sacrifices is she ready to make? How many days can she go without food, and how many years can she wear the same torn shoes, just to ensure her only joy isn’t deprived? And how long can she ignore her excruciating headaches that are killing her?
“My daughter is my whole world. I have no one but her and we’re alone in this entire world! How we manage to survive – I don’t know. But perhaps God loves my Juliette and won’t leave us.”
