When 5-year-old Nato rolls her eyes and throws her head back as if her spine is about to break, it looks creepy. And when she screams in pain, it makes your blood curdle. It’s twice as hard for her mother to see this. She sometimes dreams that everything that hurts her daughter will be transferred to her. But she does not know whether she can endure that…

It’s twice as hard for her mother to see this. She sometimes dreams that everything that hurts her daughter will be transferred to her. But she does not know whether she can endure that…
Nato is the second child in the family, she was born perfectly healthy. When she was 40 days old, happy mom and dad and their beautiful daughters were coming back home from relatives. Suddenly a jeep crashed into their small car at great speed… Everything went dark…
“They thought I was dead, they even told my spouse there was no chance for me to survive. The baby got a severe head injury. When they took her to the hospital, her heart stopped twice on the way. But the doctors managed to save our lives. After being discharged from the hospital, my daughter felt fine. But soon the poor thing started having severe headaches. She cried without stopping, could not sleep day or night, fainted a couple of times… It would be better if all this happened to me!”
Read this story full of tears, pain, and despair… This is a cry from the heart of a mother who no longer knows how to gasp for life. God brought these children to us and wants to help them with our hands!
Eka: My girl has not uttered a word in her life. She communicates with us by gestures – she tries to convey her emotions to us. She cannot do it verbally, so she does it with screams, whims, sometimes she smiles when she likes something… She loves to listen to songs – the music soothes her a little.
– Eka, could you please tell us in more detail how you learned about Nato’s disease?
Eka: When my daughter was 40 days old, my husband, I, and our elder daughter Megi were driving back home from relatives and had an accident. I hardly remember what happened, I only remember that I felt terrible pain. My husband and Megi were barely hurt, and Nato and I narrowly escaped death. God saved us! They thought I was dead, they even told my spouse there was no chance for me to survive, but I survived. And my baby got a severe head injury. When they took her to the hospital, her heart stopped twice on the way. But the doctors managed to save Nato’s life. The doctors spoke only of a head injury then, there was no talk of hydrocephalus. We spent many weeks in the hospital. After being discharged from hospital, my daughter felt fine. However, a couple of days later, Nato started having severe headaches. She cried without stopping, could not sleep day or night, fainted a couple of times… The doctors said that such reaction of the child after the injury she suffered was within norm. But my heart felt something was wrong. It hurts to recall it!
– So, you were right?
Eka: Yes! We visited another doctor and he diagnosed her with hydrocephalus. It was terrible to hear that! It sounded like a sentence! We had series of surgeries, one followed by another, sometimes she was operated on twice a month. We literally lived in hospitals, in an intensive care unit. All these manipulations, surgical interventions… It’s hard to bear! I would not wish this on anyone! Imagine, the baby was operated on ten times in five years of her life.
– What do the doctors say? Is there any chance for her to recover?
Eka: The doctors say that if she were treated in France, she would have a higher chance of a full recovery. But alas in Georgia, there are no such medications and medical procedures yet… Sometimes Nato suffers seizures, she throws her head back, and we have to correct the child’s posture every five minutes. When she feels pain, she screams loudly. I must always be by my daughter’s side. My heart is breaking! When you see your child suffering and you can do nothing about it, it hurts! Now we can only hope that one day Nato will recover! The child needs medications, she needs medical procedures, visits to doctors at least once a month to achieve that. But unfortunately, we do not have enough funds for all this…
– What is your family income?
Eka: We get a social allowance – 340 GEL, plus food coupon for kids – another 60 GEL. Besides that, we get disability pension – 250 GEL. But we took a major part of this pension in advance – we needed money for the operation. We have a lot of debts. The state paid for a couple of operations. We paid for the rest ourselves – we borrowed money. My husband does not have a permanent job, he takes any part-time job he finds…
– Eka, what is the main problem of your family?
Eka: You know in what a grave condition my baby is. She needs medications, hygiene products, diapers, medical procedures… She needs special food – she can’t eat any food. I buy various formulas, cereals… But we don’t have enough money for all this! She spends day and night at home, although she needs the walks and fresh air. But Nato is already grown up, it’s hard for me to carry her in my arms. We really need a wheelchair supporting the lower back and head so that I can take my daughter for walks.
– How do you see Nato’s future?
Eka: Like any other mother, I want to think only about the good, I want to believe that my daughter will recover and will be able to live a full life! But I’m a realist, so I understand that… I know her life will always be with me. She is my daughter, my flesh and blood, my treasure! May God give me strength to be with her and help her!
– Eka, could you please tell us about the place where you live? Do you have anything you need in this house?
Eka: We are renting this room. It is damp and cold, but we cannot afford anything else – we have no funds. There is only cold water in the kitchen, no hot water. When I wash the dishes, my fingers get so cold that I stop feeling them. We need a refrigerator. While it’s not hot, I can store food in the cupboard. But in the summer food without a refrigerator will go bad, and I am already very worried about it. Moreover, Nato needs special food… Where to store everything if there is no refrigerator? It will be great to have a TV too… You see, Nato is very fond of music and TV shows. When she hears songs, she immediately calms down and starts to smile.
– Does anybody help you?
Eka: My relatives do their best. But everyone has their own families, their own problems. But still, they don’t leave us without attention. My parents send us food and canned food from the village… That’s how we live!
– Did you address the local authorities for help?
Eka: They already pay an allowance to us, and they also financed our daughter’s surgeries a couple of times… To be honest, I am embarrassed to ask for anything else.
– Eka, how did you meet your husband?
Eka: I used to work at a nut processing plant. And once my colleagues introduced me to Jambul. We’ve been dating for over a year. He romanced me so beautifully! He was so attentive, caring, kind… We fell in love and got married. I was right! My husband is a wonderful person!
– Have you ever thought that such misfortune would happen to you?
Eka: No! We were young, we were in love! We dreamed of a happy life. First, Megi was born, then Nato… Both babies were healthy. What else could you dream of? And then that terrible accident happened… You never know what awaits you!
– Eka, could you please tell me about your children?
Eka: Megi goes to school. She’s a very smart girl! She manages to do everything: to do homework and help me around the house. She is never lazy, when I ask her to do something she immediately gets down to the business. She says: “Mom, take a break, I will wash.” When I look at her, tears well up in my eyes. She’s only eight years old… And our youngest daughter is 15-month-old. Cecily is our joy! She’s such a fidget – sometimes serious and sometimes smiling! Megi helps me with her too. If not for my dear husband and daughter, I could not have coped alone!
– Eka, you have wonderful children! Could I please talk to Megi? Sweetheart, your mom praises you so much, she says you help her a lot. Do you have time left to spend it with your friends?
Megi: I almost have no time to spend it with friends. My mom and my sister need me. My friends know that I need to help around the house, to be always close to Nato. So, they themselves come to me, and we always play at home.
– What is your favorite subject at school?
Megi: I love sports. But I want to become a doctor.
– What doctor do you want to become?
Megi: Pediatrician – to cure my little sister. I always tell my mother not to cry, not to worry. I’m almost an adult now. I will study well and become the best doctor in the world. And then I will cure Nato.
– What are you dreaming about the most?
Megi: I dream that my little sister will get better and be able to play with us. She lies all day long and watches my friends and me playing. I feel sorry for her! I want her to be able to run with us too, play hide and seek…
– You’re so sweet Megi! I wish you to achieve everything you want! Now let me please talk to your mother. Eka, what is your biggest dream?
Eka:Perhaps many will not understand me … But I dream at least once to hear my Nato calling me mom!
-Eka, what would you advise to women, who found themselves in the same hard situation, like you?
Eka: To never give up! No matter what happens, no matter how hard it is for you, remember that your child needs you! Love for your child will overcome everything! Believe in God, hope in Him and know that He will never leave you!

If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up
“I will tell this lady to take you away and bring me a doll instead of you! She’s such a fidget! She’s just one year old, but it seems like there is a whole horde of children! Look, they gave me toys, but she takes them away from me,” – 8-year-old Megi looks at her sister frowning. Little Cecily, who is not even two years old, has never seen so many toys! Rather say, she has not seen them at all.
We told you about the Zalikashvili family. They have a huge problem – their 5-year-old daughter Nato is seriously ill. When she was one month old, she and her mother had an accident and they miraculously survived. The accident did not affect the mom’s health, but Nato has been suffering severe pain every single day since then. She rolls her eyes and throws her head back as if her spine is about to break. Mom dreams to take her daughter’s entire pain herself. But she is not sure she would manage to endure it.

“We have never been so happy. And it’s not about things, but about support”
This story did not leave any of you indifferent, and we thank you for that. We would like to share with you those positive emotions that you managed to give this family despite the hard times we all are experiencing now… It is important for us not only to convey the pain of others, but to demonstrate that even a minor help from you can dramatically change the life of not only one person, but the whole family. Alas, it is impossible for us to make the little martyr Nato healthy again, but what you did for her mother and sisters is worth a lot!
“Replace my sister with a doll… I’m kidding, of course, but I really want a doll.”
Megi (8-year-old): I haven’t had so many toys in my life! And I am happy. This little girl named Cecily keeps bothering me from playing, but that’s okay. Can you replace her with a doll? I’m kidding, of course. I love my sisters.
– What’s the real problem with you and Cecily? You can’t share toys?
Megi: We can’t! We can’t even share our mom! As soon as I pick up something, my sister wants the same thing! It would be nice to have more toys but thanks a lot for that too! She always says about everything: “It’s mine, mine, I will not give it to you, I will not!”
“It’s mine, I won’t give it to you!”
– Eka, how did your life change after we published a post about you?
Eka: I have no words. What can I say? Thanks? It won’t convey my gratitude in any way. This support made our life so much easier! Thanks to this help, we managed to solve the most significant everyday problems. We would not have been able to afford such a luxury in our entire life. Yes! These are not just home appliances for us but a luxury. God bless you!
– Eka, you are so emotional! It is so cool! Maybe you’d like to single someone out from your new friends? Do you remember their names?
Eka: I want to thank everyone who did not pass by our troubles. I never cease to be proud of being Georgian! I am proud of all Georgians who, even living abroad, don’t forget about their compatriots. Special thanks to Nika Sulashvili and all his wonderful family. Nika, being thousands of kilometers away from Georgia, did not pass by our misfortune – he lent us a helping hand from abroad. It is so exciting – words cannot convey and describe what I feel. You see, I am talking, and the tears come into my eyes. Many thanks to you! Thanks to the friends of the Fund!
“If you assemble all the blocks, you’ll get a figure taller than me! I have never had so many toys “
– I don’t even know, whether I should ask you about help from the authorities or no. Did they finally wake up after our post?
Eka: Unfortunately, there was no reaction from them, but, nevertheless, I am grateful to them for funding two out of the five operations that Nato had.
“When there is warm water at home, I feel like a human being, like a woman!”
– It is so important for us to convey your emotions to our readers. They are waiting for that so much! They rejoice together with you.
Eka: I don’t know what to start with. It is really difficult for me to find the right words to express all my feeling and all my gratitude. The most important for me is to feel that I am not alone, that I have friends. Before we met you, we used to have problems with hot water – it was so hard to bathe the children, to wash dishes. Your gift – a gas water heater – is the real salvation for our entire family. And the refrigerator! I used to fall asleep every evening with a prayer that the night was cool, and the food did not go bad. Thanks to the TV you donated, music often sounds in our house and makes even Nato smile. You have done so much for us! My biggest problem was a wheelchair for Nato and medications. I have no words to express my gratitude. Even if I pray for everyone every day, I think even this will not be enough; I think you understand how grateful I am!
“Finally, Nato has a chance to catch a breath of fresh air and not to be locked within four walls”
Megi: And I want to thank everyone! I’m so happy that my mom is happy! I liked everything very much.
– Are there any other things left you keep dreaming about?
Megi: Yes, there are some left … Won’t my mommy get upset if I tell you about them?
– Of course not. Our good friends would like to help you.
Megi: I really need a computer, or a phone right now. It’s hard for me to study without them, and you know, I promised my mother to study well in order to become a doctor and cure Nato.
– Tell me about Nato. I already got that Cecily offends you.
Megi: Nato is the cutest creature in the world She lies and lies all the time. Sometimes she makes some sounds like a kitten. But I can’t understand what she wants. Mommy understands. Imagine, I had one doll with beautiful hair, and Cecily fluffed it up.
– What do you mean?
Megi: Well, she pulled it by the hair, and her hair got fluffed up. The doll now is good for nothing, it became ugly. It’s a pity! If only someone gave me a doll, it would be so cool! I’ll only play with it when Cecily is asleep.
– Maybe you have some more problems our readers can help you to solve?
Eka: I am embarrassed to say that, but our washing machine finally went out of order a week ago, and it’s very difficult for me to wash laundry with hands. My children almost have no warm clothes for winter. But the most important thing that I want to say – are the words of gratitude to all of you, to all friends of the Fund. Thank you very much!
We can’t make this angel healthy again, but we can alleviate her suffering.
***
Friends, thanks to everyone who helped the Zalikashvili family! I hope that we will keep supporting this wonderful family, because they still have many problems left. They need washing machine and warm clothes to get through the winter somehow. Beautiful Megi really needs a doll! And a small computer so she can learn.
We manage to do a lot of good deeds together, but I still want to ask everyone once again: please read our posts and tell your friends about them. Do not pass by other people’s grief, because there are only three really worthy things in this life, and these are not “plant a tree, build a house and raise a son.” The first one – is to help the one who needs help, the second is to protect the one who is defenseless, and most importantly, to give hope to the one who has lost it!

Our problems are noting if compared… Here are true misfortunes, in front of your eyes! Just thank the Lord for what you have. You are the happiest person in the world! Remember this and help those in need.
