Ill children
This is fourteen-year-old Saba. Confined to a wheelchair, he suffers from terrible pain. Saba has had cerebral palsy since birth and cannot walk. His legs are so severely twisted that he can’t stand on them for even a second. What did this little angel do to deserve such torment? Saba is cut off from the world. Yes, the child is cut off from the world… Oh, how awful those words sound. You live in this world, but you are rejected by it. Just imagining it makes one’s blood run cold.

A miserable old woman walks around the yard, hitting her cheek with her hand. God, how much she suffers! She says a few words and cries, says something else, and tears choke her again. That’s what Asiat says: “Sometimes I think my life is worthless. I sometimes think it would have been better to burn in this cursed trailer. This is what my life has come to in old age! I’ve been left to the mercy of fate.””This was our home, my husband walked in this yard, he was the joy of my life… Everything I loved has been taken from me. Only memories remain. And they are so heavy. I can’t breathe, I can’t sleep… All the time, I see the fire in my eyes that is consuming my life!” After the fire, Asiat settled in this makeshift shelter. But can anyone really live here? In winter, she huddled with one relative or another. “Thank God there are kind people in the world,” says the miserable old woman. “Some can even shelter stray animals. That’s what I’ve become.”

Alexey recalls that fateful day with horror. He survived by miracle. If not for divine intervention, his son Giorgi would have been orphaned, and his wife Ketevan widowed. God! We live on the edge every day, and nothing is certain! Aleksi: That day started like any other. I went to the field, as usual. But fate had a terrible trial in store for me. An enraged bull attacked me suddenly, without warning. The animal threw me off my horse and tossed me around like a toy, and it seemed like it was going to crush me with its powerful hooves. That day, I was born again. Let’s unite and support the family of Aleksi Dimitrishvili. By helping others, we help ourselves as well, bringing us closer to God and to each other.

Among these seven unfortunate souls, one adult is gravely ill, and two children are deprived of their childhood and exposed to deadly diseases! Friends, there is no one else to help them but us! Little Anastasia and Darina sometimes cough so hard they can’t breathe and can’t sleep at night. They live right next to a stone quarry, where a large machine crushes stones from morning until late evening, making sounds like something out of a horror movie. “Our lungs are filled with dust… our ears hurt from all this noise.. They don’t give us water and they threaten to destroy our wagon,” the little girls greeted the Fund reporter with these words.

In the beautiful Georgian eyes of 7-year-old Giorgi lies all the pain of our land! He is very hungry! And between him and his older brother Lasha, they only have a small piece of bread for the whole day! Giorgi is very afraid that Lasha might take it all for himself! This is how they live in this wreck of a place that can’t even be called a shed. It doesn’t even have a window. Light enters the room only through the door. The gaps in the ceiling and walls are so large that it wouldn’t even be safe to keep chicks in there! Here live, if it can be called living, two perpetually hungry children—7-year-old Giorgi and his older brother, 10-year-old Lasha—along with their nearly blind and severely ill mother, Madonna, who has been disabled since childhood.

Over the course of 5 years, 38-year-old Alena underwent 16 hours-long difficult operations with Georgian doctors. How she remained alive is simply a miracle! There was no one to help her! The doctors periodically examined her, reassured her, but shrugged their shoulders and seemed to be just waiting for her to die so that she wouldn’t interfere with their life in peace! And when we at the fund saw her terrible situation, we rushed to help her along with the friends of the fund! She also has a minor child living with her! So terrible!

Each epileptic seizure could be the last for Giorgi It is impossible to watch the agony of Giorgi, Nini and their mother Megi without tears. It is impossible to get to know them and not go crazy with worry. Only a mother can endure so much – a guardian angel sent by God. Megi: My son has a full set of serious illnesses: epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism. My son has experienced clinical death four times. Do you know how many times people suggested that I get rid of Gio and start living? They tried to convince me to send him to an orphanage or to a special institution for intellectually disabled children. Could you do that? I couldn’t. Could you get rid of your child, whom they saved from the clutches of death four times?

Blind, sick, and lonely, but very, very kind and good-hearted, 82-year-old grandmother Shura needs compassion and help! If we don’t lend a helping hand, friends, one day she will quietly pass away, and no one will know! Will we really leave her without assistance? Shura wouldn’t treat us this way! And after all, the ways of the Lord are inscrutable. Shura: I sit here and think about how to get up and reach my bed… (Tears stream down the face of the blind old lady.) Give me your hand, help me get up. It’s good that you came, sometimes a whole day goes by, and there’s no one to talk to. I constantly need medications, dear, to stay alive. Nutritional supplements for my heart and brain, blood pressure medication, eye drops. I think I won’t even be able to stoke the stove anymore. I’ve become very weak. I’ll probably freeze this winter if the stove goes out, and no one comes to check on me in time. It would be good if I had a gas heater.

Teimuraz seemed to be tortured: they cut off his fingers one by one, then his entire foot, and then both legs… They don’t even torture like that in American horror films! Even the most dangerous prisoners. Teimuraz’s fingers were cut off first, then his foot, then one leg up to the knee, and finally his entire leg. Nine times he lay under the knife, and nine times a man with a heart condition had to say goodbye to his family, since each operation could have been his last! Natela (wife): We went through hell. For two years they tormented my husband, cutting off pieces of him. He has a bad heart and diabetes. And because of these damned anesthesia, his nerves deteriorated. I want to calm him down, but he gets even angrier. He was a healthy man, he always worked, and suddenly he found himself in a wheelchair. How can you not worry? Poverty and disease! Lord, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! And most importantly, medicine so much, but there is no money!

You won’t believe it, but I didn’t utter a single request, yet one day, a miracle happened! I stood by the pharmacy, gazing at medications that I couldn’t afford in a million years. Out of the blue, a striking young man noticed me, worn down by life, and it was as though he could sense my thoughts, the pain in my eyes! Without uttering a word, he took my hand, led me into the pharmacy, and purchased medicines worth 300 lari! I fervently pray that the Lord will forever remember his kindness! She thought her body was made of stone and her heart of ice, but even people like her can break! When the first stroke failed to break her, a second one happened to her and took away her power of speech and then the third one confined her to the bed. But being helpless for a lonely person is the same as being dead. Tina survived, stood up, and learned to speak again. ‘I won’t let this illness turn me into a rotting piece of flesh!’ she repeated every day.

Life for Eka is pain, suffering, and a constant trial for her soul. “The pain is getting worse with each passing day… It feels like thousands of nails being driven into my back simultaneously. Breathing is painful. My spine is so twisted that all my internal organs are deformed. I wonder how they are still functioning. To keep living and not die prematurely, I urgently need to undergo surgery. It will be like my second birth.” But with our income, I could never save up such an amount in three lifetimes. That’s why I addressed you. I know that God will send me the right people through you.’Eka has the most severe form of scoliosis, and her entire body is deformed. While this condition used to bring her only discomfort, now it slowly kills the girl. “This disease spared no one, and Eka is not an exception. People don’t die from scoliosis, but from the complications that accompany this disease. Eka finds it hard to breathe right now, and later, she won’t be able to eat… and what then?

I beg you! I don’t want to die of hunger and cold! Take care of me before a torturous death does its vile deed! “Will you help me? Will you bring me some food? I am so hungry! Won’t I freeze this winter? But maybe I won’t live until winter? I am very ill! What if something happens to me somewhere? Or if the dogs bite me? Or if I fall with my sick leg and breathe my last breath after so much suffering? Who will find me? Probably only crows will touch my lifeless body.” – Grandma Nana looks at us with fear and sobs like a child. Cunning epilepsy and brain diseases have forever kept her in a childlike state… If you only knew how tough it is for her and in what dreadful conditions this poor, sick child has to live. She needs our help the most right now.
