Another kind and good Georgian family has fallen victim to a cruel darkness. Allow me to introduce you, my friends! They are now under our protection. Great is the Lord, who gives us the opportunity for compassion!  Glory to Him!

In this family, there are five wonderful children and a pregnant mother expecting her sixth child.  There is also an abusive husband who, for years, physically abused and humiliated his wife in front of the children.   Now he is behind bars, but the children and mother continue to love him, but the frightened mother of five children does not want to talk about that.  The children called the police: they were deeply afraid that their father might beat their mother to death! 

Here he is – the future Georgian hero who bravely defended his mom!  But if we don't lend a helping hand, he'll end up being a regular visitor to junkyards searching for scrap metal together with his little siblings, instead of going to school! Is Georgia deserving of such a new generation?!  And it doesn't matter whose fault it is!  What matters is that we have no right to pass by!  Can you imagine the burden on this child to provide for such a huge family?! 

Nana Kantelashvili (mother, 35 years old): The father of my children is currently in prison for physical violence against me. He was sentenced to two years of imprisonment. And my sixth child will be born in three months.  Of course, every child needs their father to be around!  Especially since children love their dad! Fathers, don't be the cause of your children's emotional pain! They are your flesh and blood!

This photo is of poor four-year-old Gabriel. He is standing in front of us on his knees, bloody from crawling, begging for food! It’s the boy’s fault that he is in such a condition! The boy is gravely ill! And the pieces of metal that Aleksi collects are not even enough for food, let alone to take his brother to the hospital for a checkup! 

Aleksi (11 years old): Poverty is the scariest thing in the world... (That's how this child, wise beyond his years, reasons. He should be playing soccer with his peers, enjoying his childhood, learning!) Before, Mom and I used to go for firewood, but my mom is pregnant, so she shouldn't carry heavy loads. Now I go for firewood alone, so that my brothers and sisters don't get sick from the cold anymore.

Aleksi spends whole days collecting scrap metal... 

And then he waits for the scrap collection truck to come from the city to the village. 

Aleksi: Sometimes they pay me 7 lari, sometimes they pay 10. Then I buy food for my brothers and sisters and for my pregnant mom with this money. She carries my little sister in her belly. 

"If my mom is hungry, it means my little sister is hungry in her tummy too," Alexi reasons like an adult.

The family lives in a half-collapsed house, lacking windows and with a leaky roof. When it rains, the children find themselves sleeping in damp beds, as the room is almost as wet as the outdoors. 

This frequently results in the youngsters catching colds, causing their temperatures to spike. Sadly, due to poverty, their mother cannot afford to buy medicine from the pharmacy. 

Aleksi: I've never been on a school trip. All the other kids get to go, but not me. It hurts that I can't join them, and it makes me cry. But I try to keep my tears hidden so the teacher won't see. Sometimes I feel like nobody cares about me.

- Aleksi, what does poverty mean to you?

Aleksi: Hunger, cold, and you know what else? We don't have any hope for anything…

- My God, you're just a child... Do you realize that? You answer as if you were an old man wise with experience. What will you be when you grow up?

Aleksi: I am a child from a poor family (the little one proudly replied to me). You ask, what will I be?  Then know this: I'll be nothing...

"I am a child from a poor family...What will I be? I'll be nothing...”

- What an answer... I could barely hold back the tears talking to Aleksi! How handsome, how proud, how responsible he is… He’s truly Georgian! I'm sure everyone on Earth would want to have such a son! He didn't ask for anything except love!  Love, without which even a child immediately becomes old! We can't let this happen! We can't, my friends!  Let's show Aleksi and his brothers, and sisters that children are loved in Georgia, especially ones like him!   Let's give him something that money can't buy! We are one family, and Aleksi must feel that!
