Hope for Giorgi

On April 4th 2016, Georgian Giorgi Losaberidze sustained a traumatic brain injury while playing a friendly soccer game with friends. Tragically, while diving for a goal in the yard, he misjudged the distance to a nearby wall. A minor league player in Georgia, he was in full goalie mode when he leapt for the ball and crashed into the wall, headfirst. Everything changed on that day. A beloved son, brother, uncle and friend, we are eager to see Giorgi improve, though the prognosis is difficult, especially getting the level of care that he needs in his home country of Georgia. In the last six months, Giorgi has had three surgeries and had effectively been in a coma.  After months of a seemingly hopeless situation, the doctors are beginning to report some improvements in his condition and cognition- which can only be improved in facilities that may be able to work with him.  Unfortunately, such services do not exist in Georgia.  After great efforts, his family and friends have been able to secure him a place in a rehabilitation center in Germany but the costs are more than they can manage despite the great generosity of many people that supported them until this time.  

We are hoping to gather the resources that Giorgi will need to travel to Germany by a medically equipped airplane and his rehabilitation in the clinic.  These costs are estimated at approximately $120,000 USD.

Any support that you can offer will be greatly appreciated and of course, if you have any questions or need any more information,  please contact us.
