What is the most important in our lives? Definitely – children!

There are 6 children in the family of Archil and Maia Batiashvili from Tbilisi.

Read the letter from a mother begging to save her only daughter. It will make you cry!
“My daughter Mariam is only 2 years old. She has a rare disease – a cleft soft palate, and she urgently needs surgery. It’s just impossible to describe the terrible feeling when you can’t help your child simply because you don’t have the money to pay for treatment. Oh God! It hurts to write this, my heart breaks from worry, every day we have tears and screams. The little one can’t properly eat, drink, and even crying is dangerous for her. Food and water come out through her nose and can get stuck in her throat at any moment. Just imagine how the little one suffers, how a terrible cough chokes her!”

There are five little children in the Bagalishvili family. The sixth is about to be born. Four children are sick. Not helplessly yet. But they’ll become soon. When there is no money to buy them food or clothes, it is in no way possible to carve out funds for a doctor, for tests, for the trip to the hospital, for medications. The monthly social allowance is enough either for flour and cheap food, or for the treatment of one child. Mom Nunu (35 years old) told me about these terrible things. And I try to imagine what a choice she faces every day. “It feels like they gave me a gun and said: “Choose who to kill.” If you want to treat Tamara and Tengo – Temuri, Tika and Tornike will starve to death. And if you want your children to be well-fed (actually “well-fed” – this is too strong word), then it will be impossible to treat them. Something like that”. Have you ever faced such a choice? What would you choose? Please advise!

These children do not want to recall their mother, and if they do, they start crying and want to forget about her as soon as possible.
