Fear
and horror settled in his tormented head
The walls
seem to hardly withstand the misfortune that is happening within them. A
heartbreaking scream and howl can be heard far away on the street. This scream
makes goosebumps appear on your skin. And you hear a woman’s voice and cry:
“Please, son, calm down, please.”
It’s
as if the ceiling is about to collapse and take the unfortunate mother to the
underworld along with her enraged, but helpless son, whom she hugs and calms
down… Hell has long come to them on earth and does not leave them.
Mother is the only tiny ray of light
in the world full of visions, fear, and horrors of 42-year-old Khvicha Lagvilava. For 42 years
now, the mother has been taking care of him. She soothes him, caresses, fights
off his attacks of aggression. In desperation, she stubbornly tries to give at
least a bit of warmth and love to her son, who has no mind, no gift of speech.
Mother and son took refuge in a
gloomy, emergency building, as if in order to not disturb or embarrass anyone
with this madness. Although they really need the help and mercy of kind people.
The eldest son, Gocha, earns some pennies by hard physical labor so that his
family does not starve to death. And Mimosa who is exhausted by anxiety,
constantly holds the hand of her younger son Khvicha fearing that if her life
ends her helpless son will be left alone.
During
an attack, only mother’s hand can calm Khvicha
– Mimosa, how did this misfortune happen to you
when your son fell ill?
Mimoza: Khvicha was
born perfectly healthy – he weighed more than four kilograms – it was a
pleasure to look at him. I was in seventh heaven with happiness, because I had
two boys growing up – two mother’s hopes! But at four months he started having
convulsions. We got scared and took him to the hospital. We didn’t know how to
help him. Since then, our suffering began. Khvicha was diagnosed with a mental
disorder. Well, we addressed so many places for help! We took him to doctors in
Tbilisi. But his disease turned out to be incurable. (Sighs.)
– Mimosa, what is the most difficult thing in
regards with a sick son? How does he act during attacks?
Mimoza: Khvicha can’t talk. His attacks
look terrible: he screams, he howls, trying to let me know what is bothering
him. He becomes aggressive and wants to run outside. I hug him, calm him down,
hold him as best I can. I get hit, but it does not matter. If he runs away from
home, he will get lost somewhere, get hit by a car, or he will hurt someone. I
cannot let that happen.
I
am getting old, and my health fails: I have diabetes, high blood pressure, my
joints hurt. I can’t buy medications. My son has already been betrayed once –
his father left him. I’m afraid he will lose me too. My death will become the
end of his life.
Look,
my Khvicha is still so masculine. (Smiles weakly)
He used to be a very handsome child. No one would notice that he was ill. He
was a curly-haired boy with beautiful eyes, and now his hair, eyebrows, and
eyelashes have fallen out…
– Have you
noticed what can cause an attack? What worries him?
Mimoza: My poor boy. Who knows what goes on in his tormented head? We
should not let him get hungry – he cannot stand it. And our things,
unfortunately, are going bad. I’m always in fear that something is about to
happen to him.
– What
income does your family live on?
Mimoza: Gocha, my eldest son, does not have a permanent job. When he
finds some part-time job, he brings all his earnings home. Our main income is
pension and social allowance. But we have been getting 120 lari instead of 150
for a long time now. I asked the social worker: “Why did they cut the amount we
were getting?” And he says: “No idea, it’s not my business”. Who’s business is
it? How to find it out? Every tetri counts for us.
– You
mentioned your husband with resentment, it looks like it hurts you to speak
about this topic. But maybe you remember the story of your love?
Mimoza: My friend introduced me to my future husband. I thought that
together we would build a warm and happy family nest. But nothing worked out…
My heart is broken.
– Do you
think he left because of Khvicha’s disease?
Mimoza: I don’t know exactly. At some point, he left me alone with
two young children in my arms facing disease and hunger.
– Mimosa, do
you have brothers or sisters? What are your childhood memories? What memories
warm your soul?
Mimoza: I had honest, hardworking parents. We lived poorly, but
happily. I think, my childhood is my only bright memory. I have an older
brother and a younger sister. I used to be a fidget, the most mischievous of
them, I didn’t like to study, and I was the first to start a family.
My brother and sister have their own
families. God help them, they can hardly cope on their own, but they always try
to pay attention to us. They cannot help us financially. Our relatives and
neighbors are very good, I am very grateful to all of them. They always ask how
we are doing, but now it is difficult time for everyone. I can see how hard it
is for them to support their families. They go out of their way to earn at
least something. Our neighbors often share food, lunch, with us; those who have
a cow give us cheese and cottage cheese. God bless them.
And friends of your Fund, your
readers – they do not leave us to the mercy of fate. In this we feel the power
and help of God.
– Mimosa, I
am so sorry for you. Have you addressed the state for help? The local
authorities, for instance?
Mimoza: I am grateful to the municipality of the city of Poti. They
help us with food.
– A cross
hangs in the most prominent place in your house. Are you a believer? If you
could talk to God, what would you complain to Him about? What would you ask Him
for?
Mimoza: I live, and I am still alive because of faith. Every Saturday
and Sunday I attend church service and pray to God for my unfortunate family,
for my children. Of course, I have questions, but they are not reproachful – I
just want to figure something out for myself: Lord, why are we in such a hell?
Is this a test of my strength? Is this punishment? Or a great blessing?
I want all sick children to get
miraculously healed – not only my son Khvicha. I want to see the joy on the
face of my eldest son Gocha. To see how happy he is, to live to see his
marriage and his children. He is very deprived of me, almost from childhood he
took upon himself the burden of caring for his sick brother. I have forgotten
when I saw the carefree smile on his face.
Mimosa
asks the Lord for the day to go smoothly and to have some food for her son
– Mimoza, do you believe
in the kindness of strangers? Do you hope they will help you?
Mimoza: Yes, of course! I believe that the Lord does good with the
hands of His chosen ones. Unfamiliar people – friends of your Fund, your
readers – have helped us a lot: they donated to us a huge amount of food, a new
wardrobe, bed, bedding, hygiene products. How can I not pray for the happiness
and well-being of these people? I never forget kindness.
– I just want to ask you:
how did you find yourself in this building? It is not suited for living.
Mimoza: In Soviet times this building belonged to a citrus farm. It
was old, abandoned and dilapidated. We had no place to live so we moved here
arbitrarily back in 80’s. We have two rooms and a kitchen here, if you can call
that so. We don’t even have the basic conditions for life here, the roof leaks
when it rains, the wind blows from the cracks. By the will of the Lord, this is
our only harbor. But we don’t have any property papers, and we’re always afraid
that they will kick us out of here. I planned to get it registered in our name,
and I wrote an application to the town hall but have not received their
response yet. I don’t know who to address.
Khvicha’s room
looks like a ward in a psychiatric hospital: there is nothing around that he
could break or smash. But it’s freezing here, they don’t light a stove/ This
affects Khvicha and irritates him.
– Mimosa, I see that you need a lot of things in your house. It’s
very hard for you. What do you need most of all? What is your main problem?
Mimoza: Food, my dear ones. If someone has the opportunity, please,
help up with foodstuffs. The hardest thing is the lack of food. Khvicha, unlike
healthy people, has an excessive appetite. He constantly asks for food. If
there is no food at home, he rages, turns the bed upside down, tears and spoils
the linen. Oh… (Sighs heavily.)
I’m very embarrassed to ask, but I also need a table
to put it by Khvicha’s bed so that it would be more convenient to feed him. And
it is also very cold in this room, and Khvicha freezes even in bed, it bothers
him. I’m afraid he’ll get pneumonia. In
winter, he lies in bed, and in summer he sits in the corridor or in the yard.
If
we had a gas heater, it would be easier for him to endure the winter. Khvicha
has no clothes either. The pennies that Gocha earns are not enough for
anything. We have no money left for medications. I feel unwell without
medications, and Khvicha needs sedatives, although he really doesn’t like to
take them, and he always resists. But so that my poor boy does not get
exhausted, so that his heart does not get tired of screaming, you need to help
him – give him a sedative. He does not realize how much he exhausts himself.
– And you as well…
Mimoza: This is my maternal destiny. And Gocha’s fate too.
Khvicha
keeps asking for food all the time due to his illness. You need to give him at
least a small piece of some food, otherwise he will have an attack and will
tear all the linen and bed
Gocha silently listens to
us and sadly looks at his mother. From time to time, he turns towards the room
where his sick brother is. One can notice that he is on the alert. At any
moment, at the first moan, he is ready to rush to help his brother.
– Gocha, may I ask you
something? You probably used to make plans for the future. Did you have to give
up everything? And what do you think now – how to live your further life?
Gocha: I was very young when I realized that my mother and my
younger brother needed care. And only after that, someday, I will be able to
think about myself. I quitted school after eighth grade to work for the family
and have been working here and there ever since. The main thing is to bring at
least couple of pennies home. I have been struggling with hunger, cold, and my
brother’s illness since childhood. And now my mother is exhausted, she is sick,
I need to look after both of them.
Now I temporarily work at a construction site, but
this is not what I need. I can’t handle expenses. I want to learn another craft
so that I can have a decent income.
– Gocha, what can you
remember from the past? What warms your soul, what was the most important and
joyful?
Gocha: Most of all, as a child, I loved my birthday, when my peers
came to visit me, a sweet buffet, a holiday and gifts. I remember my years at
school with great warmth. I was fond of one girl – she was beautiful as a
fairy… Of course, she did not suspect anything about my feelings, we were
just friends. But I was very happy to see her among my friends, to be close to
her. Now she is married, I hope that she is happy. May the Lord bless her.
– Gocha, what are you most
afraid of?
Gocha: To lose my mom. I want my mother to be with us for a long,
very long time So that I can make her broken heart happy.
– Gocha, have any of your
loved ones ever turned away from you? Have you got any disappointments?
Gocha: I hold nothing against
my dad. What to do, no one knows what can happen in life. Now he is
experiencing very difficult time, we often talk, try cheer each other up. I
have always been lucky to have good people surrounding me. I get sad when I see
that my peers already have such adult children. I am 44 years old and have not
started a family yet. I dream about it, I want to have a happy family, home
comfort, have a loved one. But I have got neither harrow nor barrow. I also
think about this. I don’t know, I’ll do my best and hope for the Lord’s mercy.
Suddenly we hear a terrifying moan coming from
Khvicha’s room… Gocha’s face changes, droops. Mimosa looks at Gocha, breaks
down and begins to cry quietly…
***
Friends, the Lagvilava family,
exhausted by Khvicha’s illness, is in a terrible state. They really need our
support right now! The mother is exhausted by the experiences. It is unbearable
to watch and calmly listen to how sick Khvicha can’t rest, how he screams of
hunger, how he keeps trying to save himself from cold in the overturned
mattresses. This gloomy, old gray house, full of tears and grief really needs
good people to be around…
The family has nothing, they need any
help, especially foodstuffs, a table, a gas heater, clothes, home appliances,
warm blankets. We also want to ask to help Gocha in finding a permanent job. He
is eager to learn new things, and he really hopes that you will offer him some
job.
Let’s not leave these tormented
people in trouble.
You can visit them and provide them all
possible help. Address: Poti, a building located at a former citrus farm.
Every
time you can help someone, just do it, and rejoice that God answers someone’s
prayers through you!
