My name is Shota, and I am an archaeologist and historian from Georgia, now in the United States. I came here seeking treatment for a severe staphylococcal infection in my back that is destroying my bones. After spending four months in the hospital and undergoing two biopsies, my situation has become urgent. The infection is causing terrible pain and has started to affect my legs, making it difficult for me to move. Doctors have warned that if the infection passes into my blood, it could reach my heart and endanger my life very quickly.

The only option is an operation to clean my back and remove the infection. This surgery is essential to stop the infection from spreading further and to give me a chance to recover. After the operation, I will need three months of rehabilitation to slowly return to normal life. I am hoping to regain my health so I can return to Georgia, reunite with my father, and continue my work as an archaeologist. I have no one else waiting for me except my father, and this operation is my only chance.

I am deeply grateful for any support, whether through donations or words of encouragement. Your help will give me hope and a chance to heal, return home, and get back on my feet. I will thank and pray for everyone who supports me, as your kindness means everything to me. Please share my story if you can, and thank you for reading.
