REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY!
In this so-called house, if you step on the 'wrong' spot, you might lose your leg
What a 'touching' concern for the students, right? But for one family, in the eyes of the local authorities, living in this building with two children is not a problem. One more or one less family in Georgia - is it such a big deal? They think it's not a problem! But this is how they think - those without warm Georgian hearts! But not us, and not the 94,000 subscribers of the website. Friends, please subscribe, or we might lose not just this family - there are so few of us already!)
These ruins have become the only shelter for two wonderful children and their mom and dad. Here, among the ruins, lives the kind Georgian Tsulaia family: mom, dad, and two children. In this dilapidated place, there's no electricity, no water, and no gas. But when you have nowhere else to live, these bare walls are cozier than any palace!
We know for sure that there will be those who will say "that's just the way it is" and start looking for reasons instead of extending a hand...! Unfortunately, the world is structured in such a way that no one is immune from 'sorrow.' We will all be judged, without exception - both the rich and the poor - not by human laws, but by the laws of conscience. The most important thing that will interest the Lord is compassion for our neighbor! Children are certainly not guilty of anything! And they should not live worse than other Georgian children!
Irina (10 years old): I'm so afraid of this house! I even fear sleeping alone. I huddle close to my mom. In winter, the cold seeps through cracks in the walls, and when the wind blows, it's terrifying beyond words. Those sounds make my skin crawl.
- When I was coming here for the interview, I couldn't even imagine that anyone could live here. How did you end up here?
Irma: Yes, it's really hard to imagine how one can survive in such conditions. But life can be unfair at times. When you have nowhere to live and there's a danger of ending up on the streets with young children, there's no choice. This building used to be an old school and it's considered hazardous. We occupied this space arbitrarily 10 years ago. We don't have the money to pay rent. A few years back, we had to take out a loan due to our child's illness. These debts have become a burden we can't shake off. Half of our income – 400 lari – goes to the bank. Living in this abandoned building was an attempt to provide our children with at least a roof over their heads. Of course, we're ashamed that our children have to grow up in such conditions. But we don't want to give up. Hope for a better future for our children and the support from those who can help us keep us afloat.
Irina: All my friends live in beautiful houses. My only dream is to have a beautiful house too. I'm willing to give up all my wishes just for that. We live in poverty; my mom couldn't even afford to enroll me in dance classes. We don't even have money for transportation. To renovate even a single room, a miracle would have to happen, like in fairy tales. Without a miracle, we'll never be able to do that.
I worry so much about the children, they need so much right now. "Man does not live by bread alone." The kids are very resilient; they don't show me their worries, but I can see how much it affects their psychological state. They feel embarrassed about their situation in front of their peers; they don't want their friends to know about our difficulties. My daughter has cried so many times because she can't invite anyone home. Here, a stranger can easily hurt themselves, not knowing where it's safe to step and where it's not.
- Floors, walls, windows... what needs to be fixed first to create at least some kind of comfort here?
Irma: Our kind neighbors, when they saw how we were suffering in the winter, collected money, and installed four windows for us. That was a miracle for us! Just the kind of miracle my daughter told you about. We can't gather such a huge amount of money ourselves. We barely have enough money for groceries.
- Have you always lived like this?
Irma: I can't say that our life was ever cloudless, and we didn't know sorrow and sadness, but what's been happening to us in recent years due to this debt is just terrible. There's no electricity, no water. I cook food on an old bottle that smokes, and I'm afraid it might explode one day. We wash ourselves outside; in bad weather, it's especially difficult. We bathe like primitive people, in basins.
"In the summer, washing in the yard is bearable. But can you imagine what it's like in the freezing cold?"
Irina: There are so many things I want to do, like sports, dancing... drawing, but we don't have money for anything. I can't ask my mom; I know if she had money, I wouldn't have to ask. I really want to go to dance classes, really want to play football... but I'll have to put my desires aside. The most important thing is to fix the house first, and then everything else.
Irakli: You know what I dream about? Just about one thing - a bicycle, and a car with a remote control, and also a black cake!
Irina: You say you dream about one thing, but you listed so many things!
Irakli: That's how it always is! She thinks she's older and smarter. I remembered it as I was speaking. If you hadn't interrupted me, I would have listed more. But now I've forgotten. Oh, I remembered! Please, could you give us a TV so I can watch cartoons? We have one phone for everyone, and we can't agree on who gets to watch what. My sister watches either princess or football, and I have different interests.
Irma: Oh, they're like little babies, truly. They are very quiet and excel at school. They never ask me for anything, they take care of me in that way. I have weak eyesight, but I don't go to the doctor because I know I won't be able to afford the medication they'd prescribe. I went a few years ago, they examined me and prescribed medication. They said if I don't treat myself, I could lose my eyesight. When I went to the pharmacy, they told me it would cost 1,000 lari! I laughed and walked away! I'll never be able to gather that much money! And even if I had 1,000 lari, I'd never spend it on myself! Children come first, then the house, the debts...
- Irma, what kind of support do you think would help you in this situation?
Irma: We are in dire need of financial assistance to provide at least minimal living conditions for the children. We would also be grateful for help in improving our living conditions. We need to install missing windows, repair the floor, and the children need beds. It seems unrealistic to me, but I read about how you've helped many people and even renovated bathrooms – that would be a salvation for us!
- And you definitely need money for your examination and treatment!
Irma: I won't ask for that! My conscience won't let me do it! We hope for help and support from strangers; I can't ask for everything all at once! I'm embarrassed. The most important thing is the children, their emotional well-being. My eyes can wait. Even if I do not see, and I know that my children live in normal conditions, I will be happy.
This kind of existence destroys not only physically but also mentally. Children, instead of games and smiles, are acquainted with fear and deprivation. We cannot leave them in this hell; we cannot let this family perish. Let the eyes of these children remind us of our duty to help those in need. We must provide them not only with physical assistance but also with the belief that the world can be kinder.
Let's unite our efforts to overcome the darkness that has enveloped this family. May each of our good deeds be a light that penetrates through the ruins and dispels the darkness that has shrouded their lives.
If you are willing to visit this family and help them in person, here is their address: Martvili municipality, village Gachedili (Balda)
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 them from imminent death.
