This story could have many names one worse than the other! For instance: “The father stole the allowance and left his children! Grandpa is a hero!”, or “Cruel and unscrupulous fathers! One of the most terrible stories!”, or “We will not let poverty humiliate three children and kill an old man!” Or better, come up with your title, friend, but be sure to read this story to the end and show it to your children! A normal person cannot treat children this way!

The loss of his beloved wife was a heavy blow for him, and the death of his daughter in 2021 finally broke him…
“Our Grandfather is everything for us, if not for him, who knows where we would be”
“The difficulties I am experiencing become stiffer because I am old, and there is not much I can do…”
“This is how I caress my mother’s picture every day… I miss her…”
Children need normal beds very much
“Grandpa, Pepi didn’t have a mother like me. But she didn’t have a grandfather either, right? But I have you!”
“Only one burner works, and it works hardly”
“I want to become an actor. I like to read poems artistically. I also write poems… Sometimes I read them to my grandfather”
“That’s how I look out the street – sometimes I think my mother will appear”
“This refrigerator is the only thing I have left from the past… And it got old like me… It doesn’t work anymore”
Our wonderful children, Elenka and Mari, are warm and safe under the reader’s care and love
– I’ll make you brownies now, – says Mari. Want some? Of course, you do! You chat with Grandpa for a few minutes. Look, you take a few ‘chocopie’ cookies, put them in the microwave, and wait a little. They will triple in size, the marshmallow will become stretchy, and the chocolate will be hot. And there you have a treat. And you can wash it down with cold coffee from our blender; I know how to make it, I’ll prepare it now.
Wow-wow, and I’ll have a cold coffee too, – says Grandpa Victor. You’ve given so many home appliances and other stuff, that my girls are buzzing around. Everything is in action – mixer, blender, toaster, microwave, refrigerator. I threw all the old stuff. We’re using good things and enjoying them a lot. New beds, TV, furniture, dishes… I’m very grateful to you for spending the entire past year with me and my orphaned grandchildren, supporting us, and helping us recover after the death of my daughter.
“We’re using good things and enjoying them a lot ”.
Mari (13 years old): Grandpa, I’ll pour you a smaller cup so your blood pressure won’t spike from the coffee.
Mari’s whipping up her special cold brew in the new blender.
Grandpa Victor: Cold won’t do that. The girls even brought the new blender to the village in Pasanauri. They’ve been making cold coffee all summer.
Mari: Was it bad? You said it was tasty! You even asked to make more.
Grandpa: Everything from your hands is delicious, my sunshine.
Mari: Hey, how about the sandwiches and toasties I make in the toaster, huh?
Grandpa: Oh, it’s a feast!
Meanwhile, Grandpa is slicing bread for the toaster
The old refrigerator from the communist times just took up unnecessary space in the house. The new one is put to good use – storing cheese, sausage, eggs…
Elenka: “In the microwave, we make brownies, cupcakes, and all sorts of treats.”
Mari: We sometimes dine in the kitchen, sometimes in the living room, at the new table. Also, because here, we can watch TV at the same time. The TV is so cool, with access to YouTube. It has such a huge screen, people and things are almost life-sized!
Elena and I found our favorite series, ‘My Wife’s Friends,’ and we’re watching it again now.”
Grandpa: Oh, this series (rolls his eyes).
– By the way, Grandpa Victor, there are a lot of funny episodes there, I recommend it.
Grandpa: I prefer it more when my Elena plays karaoke on YouTube and sings. That’s something I can listen to endlessly.
Mari: Before going to bed, we all sit together here in the living room – me, Elena, Luka, and Grandpa. Whoever wants can watch TV, whoever wants can play on the phone. It’s nice and cozy to sit on the new sofa. Then Elena and I go to our room, and Luka goes to the loggia. Grandpa sleeps on the new sofa, but we don’t envy him at all. We have our own new cool beds. It’s so comfy to sleep there that on weekends, I can stay lying down until noon, especially in winter.
On YouTube TV, the kids pick what they want to watch: karaoke one moment, their favorite show the next…
The new sofa is for everyone during the day and in the evening, but at night it’s Grandpa’s.
Luka (15 years old): And I have my own separate nook. After they installed metal-plastic windows in the loggia, it became warm and incredibly cozy.
Metal-plastic windows insulated not only the loggia but the entire apartment.
Grandpa: Those old frames were letting in a nasty draft in the loggia; Luka caught a cold twice as soon as it got colder. I called the Fund, and asked for help with that too. Within a few days, the issue was resolved. And now, my grandson sleeps in warmth, and the entire house has a normal temperature. I haven’t turned on the heater yet, as you can see. No wonder they came up with this metal-plastic – it conserves heat.
Mari: ‘Sleeping on the new bed is so sweet and soft; on weekends, I can’t get up until noon.’
– Children, you received a bunch of gifts from the readers; what did you like the most?
Luca and Mari, laughing, wave their phones.
Grandpa: There’s your answer. They have phones in their hands from morning till night. They don’t let them go for a minute.
Mari (keeps smiling): Sure! Grandpa’s saying true. We don’t let them out of our hands. Well, because here we have Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok… It’s incredibly interesting here. By the way, thanks to the phone, we could read all the comments from readers on our story.
– And what would you like to say to our readers?
Mari: That they are kind, cool, sweet, and caring. And that I feel warmth and happiness from these gifts. I needed this love, And Luka, Elenka, and Grandpa needed it too.
Grandpa: Thank you, Lord! There are people in this world whom you can lean on when everything collapses. You know, I have almost no one left. I buried my wife and only daughter, brothers… My immense respect and heartfelt gratitude that you are there during tough times, taking care of my orphans. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything alone; I had to leave my job…
– Have you personally met any of our readers?
Mari: Not just met, but we’ve been friends with some for a year now! Ana, Giorgiy, and Beka were among the first to come. They brought hot khachapuri and lobiani from ‘Madart,’ so delicious! Another time, they dropped by: they gave Elena a beadwork set, and headphones for me. We had great conversations, laughed a lot, immediately found common ground. They are like us – young people.
Our new computer was a gift from Sophie Gogiashvili, she works at ‘BMW,’ if I remember correctly. We were also pleased that she decided to meet us in person.
Grandpa: I went home to Tina Papukashvili myself for the gas stove. Thanks to kalbatoni Tina, we now have a proper gas supply with four working burners. Before, we only had one.
The gas stove is a gift from our reader Tina Papukashvili. Thank you for your participation and care!
The kitchen cabinet is fully upgraded!
Since last New Year, we’ve been given so many sweets and candies that I had to hide them from the kids. They can’t stop, so I did it for their health.
Elene (9 years old): Grandpa, if they bring them, we should eat them! Aunt Mariam also had delicious khachapuri, and she gave us books. Such a sweet aunt.
Grandpa: I even remembered her last name: Mariam Kereselidze. May God grant absolute health and a long life to all our helpers.
Mari: Wait, Grandpa, it’s not the end yet! What about the group of friends who brought the giant bear? A massive thanks to them too!
Sophie Gogiashvili gave the kids a laptop. Our immense gratitude to her!
Grandpa: I’m thinking, is there any area of life where you haven’t helped us? We needed groceries – I stocked up using funds from the Fund, bought medicines several times. I’m a hypertensive; I take pressure pills all the time. Finally, I have a quality blood pressure monitor that doesn’t lie to me with figures. It works on electricity, and I’m very satisfied. I also bought an inhalation device for Luka to prevent colds.
The new, modern blood pressure monitor doesn’t lie with the figures.
Both my granddaughter Mari and I underwent a massage course (I have osteochondrosis, and she has back pain). A rehabilitation specialist from Kahovka came to our home; that’s the kind of attention and care we received. Bravo to the Fund!
Not to mention that the Fund took my youngest granddaughter and me to a restaurant.
Elene: Oh, it was so wonderful! ‘Grandpa and I went to celebrate at the ‘Mill’ restaurant. Other kids from the Fund joined us. They treated us with pizza, barbecue, khachapuri… They even showed us some dances.
– Did you join the dancing?
Elena: Nope, I prefer watching.
– Batono Victor, have the local authorities shown attention to your family throughout our project?
Grandpa: I don’t even know their names, and I wish I did. The only achievement, and that’s thanks to my perseverance, is that I managed to restore the social allowance that my daughter used to receive. Now I’ll be able to receive it, as the children depend solely on me.
Grandpa Victor has three grandchildren to raise – Luka (15 years old), Mari (13 years old) and Elene (9 years old). He needs our help on a daily basis. Luca has an overweight problem and needs to be enrolled in fitness, needs new clothes and shoes to fit. Mari has back pain, and needs a massage therapist. Grandpa Victor needs medication on a regular basis. Food aid is important too!
