REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS FIND THE WAY TO GOD!
- Emzar, it is still difficult for you to speak....
Emzar: I have a severe form of Parkinson's disease. I used to think only old people had it. But now I've taken the medicine to talk to you. Without it, I can't even say a word, let alone walk or sit. Everything starts to tremble: my arms, legs, head... I can't even hold a cup of water. It's hard for me to talk... It's a side effect of the medicine.
If I don't take the medicine, I'm shivering and twitching and I'm very afraid of scaring my beloved baby! And once I take it, I can't control my once muscular body. The pills calm the tremors, but I can no longer press the child to my heart, or take her in my arms, and she is so dreaming of it! I can't walk or eat...
- How did it happen to you?
Emzar: This happened in 2011. I was serving in the army as a contract serviceman, I was supposed to go to Afghanistan for service... Suddenly I had a seizure: my legs stopped working! Doctors couldn't figure out what it was for a long time, and I had to quit my service. I was discharged! Giving up on the dream of a lifetime turned out to be very hard.
- Did Parkinson's disease immediately start in an aggressive form?
Emzar: Oh no! It insidiously crept up on me, like a hired assassin, not revealing the severity of the problem! I didn't pay attention to the weakness for a long time, I thought it was because of hard workouts. But then my legs became wobbly, strength left me. My hands started shaking badly... Doctors examined me for a long time and gave me the diagnosis - Parkinson's disease, which is untreatable in Georgia!
- I can imagine how hard it must have been for you to accept your condition...
Emzar: For both me and my family... They went through hell. Imagine your loved one, shaking. Shaking all over - hands, legs, head... You can't stand, can't sit, can't even lie down properly. Sometimes you think it's the end of my suffering!
A glimmer of hope appeared when my father took me to the best doctors in Turkey with the last of our money. There, they confirmed the diagnosis. But most importantly - they gave me hope! Hope! The Turkish doctors promised that surgery would definitely help me! But it's so expensive - $25,000! Here's the bill (shows it). Our whole family probably couldn't gather that much money in several lifetimes. So I turned to all of Georgia through you! I cannot die! I can't! Who will take care of my beloved wife, daughter, mother, and aging father who soon won't be able to work?! Do they deserve such fate - to live without a breadwinner?! I'm healthy, I can do anything! I have to make them happy! It's not them who are sick, it's me. It's not their fault, God! Help, help, Lord!
And when I come back from Turkey healthy - everyone come visit me! We're not rich, but we'll hug and kiss everyone over a glass of Georgian wine! Here is my address: Ozurgeti, Nasakirali village.
- What do you feel when you see your loved ones suffer because of your condition?
Emzar: Before Sofiko and my beautiful daughter Ketevan came into my life, I dreamt of death - my illness was so heavy and uncontrollable. But now I fight, endure, and am willing to go to the end just to enjoy my girls! I live only thanks to them, and they give me strength in this struggle. They are the meaning of my life.
- When did you start a family?
Emzar: I understand what you're asking. Did Sofiko know about my condition? Yes, she did, but we fell in love, and she married me. She's a true hero! If it weren't for her, I swear to God, I would have taken my own life! She believed that I could be saved, that everything would be okay. I'm insanely grateful to her for everything. Especially for our Ketevan.
- This beautiful girl certainly needs a healthy dad!
Emzar: Knowing that your every step could be the last, in such moments, you value life more. Every moment matters when you know it could be lost at any minute. But when I look at Keti, I know I have to live.
- What would you say to other people facing similar illnesses?
Emzar: I would tell them that although it's not easy, it's important to remember that they are not alone in their struggle. There is God, and there are kind people willing to help. Don't be afraid to seek assistance and support.
- And what can we do for you?
Emzar: The operation requires such a huge amount - $25,000! Our family can't gather that kind of money. My dad is working. I also got a job as a school security guard. It's just a few pennies, but it helps. We can't just save up for the operation, because we also need to buy medications and keep the family.
Oh, my God! There is so much grief in the world! People suffer so much! We are telling you about such human suffering that we had not even suspected. God! Why do some people suffer so much? And what is our lot? We must help! We must help everyone we can. By taking other people's illnesses to heart, helping to heal their physical ailments, we heal our souls and draw closer to God! Let us unite this time and bring a healthy father to little Keti, a healthy husband to selfless Sofiko and a healthy son to her parents!
If you are willing to visit the family and help them in person, here is their address: Ozurgeti Municipality, village Nasakirali.
Every time you can help someone, just do it, and rejoice that God answers someone's prayers through you!We are sure that all together we will manage to save this family from imminent death.
