The child grows up in extreme poverty. But what torments the girl more than poverty is soul pain. After all, Lizi knows: if something happens to her mother, she will be left alone in this cruel world! Cruel, because she was rejected from birth by her closest people – her father and mother’s parents! Inhumans who did not want her to be born and forced her mother (can you imagine that, friends?) to kill the unborn child in the womb. And when Darejan refused to commit this terrible sin and did not commit murder, they left her without means, threw her out like a dog, with a small child in her arms, into the street! Animals! There is no excuse for them! Darejan (47 years old): “I can’t stand this hellish pain anymore. Sometimes I think about taking a rope and hanging myself, but I immediately remember my poor girl, who has no one in the world except me. I am very embarrassed to ask strangers, but I dare to do it as a desperate mother. I beg you, people: if I die, bring my girl a pair of warm shoes that your daughter no longer wears. I am an unfortunate mother in life and out of pity for my poor girl I won’t find rest even after death.”

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!

Lali (Mother, 66 years old): “My son nearly died from pneumonia. We spent four and a half months in the hospital, and I never left Mamuka’s side, not for a minute.  He was on a ventilator. The doctors advised me to transfer him to a palliative care unit for terminal patients, but I refused” Here we see an example of selfless love and heroism from a simple Georgian woman—a Mother with a capital M. She cries bitterly because of her helplessness, and she’s embarrassed to ask for help, but she has no one else but us.  Help Lali save her only son, to whom she has devoted her entire life! Mamuka’s life is in our hands, friends! Each of you can help extend his days!

At 12 years old, Nikoloz was carefree, playing soccer with other boys, training hard, and living an active life. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until, before an upcoming tournament, a routine medical check revealed a congenital kidney condition—hydronephrosis. Doctors found that his left kidney was completely destroyed, leaving only one option: surgery to remove it.

Look at this little angel, how beautiful she is. Her eyes are so deep, so full of expression…  Just one glance into Anna-Maria’s eyes, is enough to feel that her little heart is full of kindness. Yet a cruel fate threatens to stop this kind heart beating orever. We can’t let that happen! No! Kind people, besides the fact that Anna-Maria’s surgery couldn’t be planned due to financial hardship, her mother now faces another big problem. There’s no one to stay with the child while she goes to the clinic to collect the documents needed for her surgery. If you’re reading this, and you’re a nursing student, a medical student, or simply someone with a compassionate heart, please consider giving Anna-Maria just a few hours of your time. This kindness will return to you in the most difficult moments of your life. Kindness never disappears without a trace!

This hug with her mom could be the last for the beautiful 16-year-old Maggie. How terrifying! Her loving mother has already died once – her heart stopped! And only a miracle brought her back to life! Now her heart is kept beating by a pacemaker! But for how long? Meet Zhanna, friends: she is 44 years old. Not long ago, the heart of this still young woman suddenly stopped! It stopped completely, and death approached.  The ambulance brought her, almost dead, to the hospital. Her only 16-year-old daughter wept bitterly over the loss of her mother. And then the Lord worked a miracle – a true miracle, and the doctors who witnessed it kept crossing themselves for a long time afterward!  The doctors performed emergency surgery and implanted a pacemaker. Zhanna urgently needs repeat heart surgery; otherwise, her chances of survival are less than one percent. However, cursed poverty prevents the unfortunate mother from getting this urgent surgery. Medications temporarily sustain the desperate woman, but meager social allowance does not even allow her to buy the medications! According to the documents, the value of a Georgian woman’s life has been set at $8,300—money the unfortunate woman has never even seen.
