8-year-old Beka has a severe congenital heart defect. Georgian doctors are not daring to perform surgery, as they say there is a high risk of a fatal outcome! They are giving an extremely important advice to the poor single mom of three: “Prevent him from risks”. I wonder, would they also give the same advice to their own child in a similar situation? They say they sent the test to Germany and Turkey… And they received the same response from there – saying that the risk is too great! But we, friends of the Fund, do not believe such advice! Can anyone prevent an 8-year-old child from playing with his brothers and friends?! He is just a child!!!

“Two Hundred Needles in the Heart”:  How does a wonderful 8-year-old Georgian boy named Beka fight with death living in poverty and ruins

REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY!

In the first photo you see the house where the heroes of today’s story: 9-year-old Gocha, 8-year-old Beka, and 4-year-old Mate live… and we found the second photo in the internet – it’s one of the poorest countries in Africa!  Do you see the difference?

8-year-old Beka has a severe congenital heart defect. 

Georgian doctors are not daring to perform surgery, as they say there is a high risk of a fatal outcome! They are giving an extremely important advice to the poor single mom of three: “Prevent him from risks”. I wonder, would they also give the same advice to their own child in a similar situation? They say they sent the test to Germany and Turkey… And they received the same response from there – saying that the risk is too great!

    But we, friends of the Fund, do not believe such advice! Can anyone prevent an 8-year-old child from playing with his brothers and friends?! He is just a child!!! And we know for sure that in certain cases, a donor heart can be implanted! We are talking about an 8-year-old child! We don’t believe such advice just because we are not doctors, but people with compassionate hearts and faith in God. We have put hundreds of children and adults on their feet and completely cured them! We have our own responsible path, and we are starting to raise funds!

These are the beautiful Georgian children whom Tamila, their mother, gave birth to for herself and for Georgia!

Tamila (the mother): What do you do when life falls apart and leaves you alone with three kids, no money, no roof over your head? How to cope with the betrayal of your husband and continue to fight for your family?

  This is the story of Tamila, a 32-year-old woman who didn’t give up in the face of difficulties and asked us for help!

– What is it like to be a mother of three boys when there is absolutely nothing to live on and no one around to help even a little bit?! 

Tamila: It’s like an ongoing battle, where every day is a fight for survival. My heart breaks when my children look at me with hungry eyes, and I can’t even offer them proper food. And when Beka clutches his heart, I’m ready to die! Because I never have any extra money saved for a doctor. And it’s vital in our situation!  I can’t even show my unfortunate children what happiness is like.

My children and I live in this cramped room. They can’t even turn around here

– What do you live on and what problems do you face because of the lack of means? 

Tamila: Our life turns into a series of insane obstacles. The children wear tattered clothes as if they are immersed in the depths of poverty. And our school bag is like a scene from a comedy show, where everything spills out, and people laugh at our unfortunate children. 

“It is okay for me doing my homework like that, but mom worries that we don’t have a table”

Gocha (9 years old): Mom!  Don’t exaggerate! Well, they laughed a couple of times… but I don’t feel offended.  Okay, maybe I feel a little hurt, but I don’t get offended because of that.  I’ve never had a new school bag.  But it doesn’t matter. I’m the best in my class!   And you know why? Because I want to become a sailor.  They earn a lot of money! 

– What subjects do you like? 

Gocha: To become a good sailor, you need to know math and English. I excel in these subjects. And literature and history come easy to me too. I just need to read something once, and I remember everything. 

“The mother’s eyes don’t dry from tears when she remembers that tomorrow she may have nothing to feed her children”

Beka (8 years old): I study well too, and I also want to become a captain!  They earn even more than sailors. 

Gocha: He keeps repeating everything after me.  He likes everything that I do and does everything just like me.

Beka: That’s not true! My heart hurts, but yours doesn’t! And I have a sweetheart, but you don’t!

“They even give us certificates at school for being the best students”

– Wow, you’re telling such interesting things!

Beka: When I become a captain and earn a lot of money, I’ll buy myself a car and buy a car for mom too.- Will you also buy a car for your sweetheart?

Beka: No, I’ll give her lots of roses and a ring. 

Gocha: What are you talking about!  You’re only 8 years old!  What sweetheart are you talking about?  Have you gone crazy? 

– Have you fallen in love with anyone yet?

Gocha: Why think about that now?  We’re still children. Let’s talk about it when we grow up! Oh my God!  He’s 8 years old and behaves like a child. 

“When I become a captain, I will give roses and a ring to my sweetheart, and cars to my mom and brothers”

– Well, alright, grown-up boy. We understand everything about your studies, and we also understand that you’re the most serious guy. Now, tell us about your dreams.

Gocha: I have one… or rather two dreams.  I want to always have food at home, I dream of having a bike and a tablet.  I really, really love riding, but the other kids in the neighborhood don’t let me ride their bikes. They say ‘you have to have your own’.- And when you have your own bike, will you lend it to other kids?

Gocha: Of course, I will lend it to them.

– But what if they accidentally damage it?

Gocha: I haven’t thought about that, but I will probably cry a lot… I also want to play football, but my mom can’t afford to buy me the uniform. Sometimes she can’t even buy bread. I also want a new school bag. Everything keeps falling out of mine. Oh! I said two dreams, but it turned into a thousand!

“I’m only focused on my studies right now – who has time to think about girls?”

Beka: I have exactly two dreams! I want a bicycle, a tablet, and a ball. And proper shoes to play with the ball… Oh! I ended up with more than just two! And they’re almost the same as Gocha’s. Oh, and a school bag too, so that nobody laughs at me!

Mate (4-year-old): I only dream of a big car with a remote control… but a really big one. 

“I dream only about the car… and candies”

Tamila: It feels like my soul is being consumed by fire. I feel so hurt for my children. They come home with broken hearts and tears in their eyes. I want to protect them from all the falsehood and cruelty in this world, but I don’t have the strength. They get laughed at in school, or children in the yard don’t lend them a bicycle, or they’re not allowed to play with the ball. And when they ask for a candy, and I can’t buy it for them even once a month, I’m ready to die.

“Our bag with the broken zipper opens up and all the books fall out”

– What measures are you taking to change the situation?

Tamila: I search for work every day. When I can leave the children with my mother, I rush to do cleaning jobs to earn extra money and buy food.  My mother herself is sick; she has cancer, and my father had a heart attack 8 years ago and still feels very unwell. They need care and rest themselves, but here I am with my children. They were the only ones by my side when my husband left me when I was eight months pregnant… I don’t know how I survived and recovered from the emotional trauma. 

“We imagine having khinkali instead of porridge, and lemonade instead of water”

– What hopes do you have as you addressed us? 

Tamila: I turn to the heavens and kind-hearted people, praying for them to extend a helping hand and support.  We cannot afford proper nutrition, let alone decent living conditions. This room, or rather a utility space attached to my parents’ house, has become our shelter. It’s about 8 or 9 square meters, and we live here. We sleep on two beds, cook, and do everything on a small table or chair.  When we are in our cramped room, we can barely move. One could say that a torn school bag is a symbol of our shattered world.

“Our whole life revolves around these two beds – there is no space for anything else”

– What kind of assistance do you need at the moment? 

Tamila: It’s not easy to answer that question.  We lack everything. But the most important thing, of course, is the health of my beloved Beka! The children wear worn-out clothes because we simply cannot afford new ones. I struggle to feed the children properly; our beds are almost falling apart.  I also desperately need a washing machine and a television to provide some distraction for the children. A small refrigerator would be a lifesaver.

Friends, imagine how hard it is to fight all alone for survival and the future of your children. Tamila, a young mother of three beautiful children – 9-year-old Gocha, 8-year-old Beka, and 4-year-old Mate – has faced betrayal from her husband and was left without support. She is fighting not only with emotional pain but also with financial difficulties in order to provide her children with a decent life.

We believe that every person deserves a chance for a happy future, especially when it comes to children. Support Tamila and her children by joining our fundraising campaign. Your donation can change their lives, provide treatment for 8-year-old Beka with a congenital heart defect, and help 9-year-old Gocha fulfill his dream of becoming a captain. And we will help little Mate, who has never even seen his father, become a true man. 

If you are willing to visit this family and help them in person, here is their address: Khelvachauri, №188 Pridon Khalvashi Str. (Dream Town)

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.

Please don’t forget to repost our story. Let your friends know about the grief of this family! It’s extremely important!

REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY!

Eight-year-old Beka already knows that the world is not only filled with hunger, cold, and cruelty. Life without a father is not the end of everything. It turns out that when there are kind-hearted people like you, dear friends, wonderful and happy days can come even for a poor, homeless boy!

Kindness is the best medicine in the world.  And therapy with kindness has worked miracles many times, and you know it very well!

 “My people, my Georgians! We have been born anew! Thanks to you, we have started a new life, found peace, and most importantly, in the eyes of my boys, sparks of hope have lit up!”  says Tamila, wiping tears of joy from her eyes.

Her husband abandoned the young woman in poverty. She was raising her three extraordinary sons all alone and could barely provide for them. The family lived in a hovel, or rather, in an eight-square-meter storage room. 

The middle son, Beka, was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. However, due to a lack of means, there was no possibility of consulting with a doctor or receiving treatment. “I was nervous, and the child was nervous. Four years have passed, and we still haven’t undergone the necessary treatment. We didn’t know what was happening in his tiny heart. The child would tire quickly and complain of pain. I thought something terrible was approaching… You probably remember my plea addressed to the Fund and its faithful friends. And they heard me! They read our story, they understood my problems. God bless all the kind-hearted people who share their piece with those in need,” the mother prays, raising her hands to the sky.

– Tamila, could you tell us about the transformation that occurred in your life?

“You lit sparks of hope and joy in their eyes!”

Tamila: I do not even know where to start with. The entire Georgia learned about our suffering. After the post was published, things developed rapidly. The most important issue for me was Beka’s health. With the help of the Fund, we immediately went to one of the best clinics in Tbilisi. They ran all the tests for my child. His heart valve is open, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

My little boy’s heart needs attention, care, and constant monitoring, which we didn’t have before you came into our lives.  Thankfully, the situation hasn’t worsened or complicated. We are saved!  The Lord took care of us. If it weren’t for you, I would still be in uncertainty, and my heart would probably have broken from all the worries.

– Last time we visited you in a different house. Can you tell us more about that?

Tamila: Yes!  Our former neighbors also saw that post. They are two young brothers and they had a small house here. They moved to another place, a bigger one, and this house was vacant.  And they let us in. Can you imagine that?  They let us into their home! It needs some roof repairs, but overall, it’s not bad at all!  At least, it’s better than the storage room.  Moreover, now we have two rooms, and in one of them, we set up a bedroom. We bought the beds with the help of the Fund. The kitchen will be separate. My children will no longer have lunch sitting on broken chairs.

This is their new home.  Until now, they lived in a storage room.

Beka: I would really like to have my beautiful, small, and cozy bed.    I often get tired, and sometimes I nap during the day. In that storage room, there was a bad bed, very bad. I couldn’t even sleep at night; I thought I might fall off, and I was scared.

He’s so happy with the new bed that he wants to sleep all the time.

– Did you get happy when your mom said you were getting new beds?

Gocha: Wouldn’t you get happy? Who doesn’t want to sleep sweetly?! We’ve been dreaming about this for so long!  Every child should have at least a bed and food.  (Tamila smiles warmly in response to Gocha’s words.)

– Children, my little friend, should have the very best!

Every child should have food and a warm bed.

Tamila: Soon, an extraordinary family from Batumi responded and gave us a double bed. A driver from Khelvachauri helped us bring it here, and he didn’t charge us money. “Oh no, ma’am! If there’s anything else I can help you with…”  he said to us.

Beka: Now each of us has their own bed! Well, Mom and Mate sleep together, but Mate is still little, and he only needs Mom.

Mate (5 years old):  Don’t you want Mom? Who do you call when your boo-boo hurts?  You know, Auntie, I got a lot of candies and chocolates. I ate a lot. I still have a lot.  And I’ll give you some too if you behave well.  (I promised to behave well.)

Mate treats those who behave nicely with candies.

Tamila: My kids always lacked sweets. But now they’ve seen so much all at once. You should have seen how they were jumping around.

Gocha: They also gave me a school bag with school supplies. Such beautiful ones!

Beka: They gave me a bag too! Mine is cooler!

Gocha: Well, you can’t say anything without him repeating it.

Beka: If they gave me one too, how can I not say it?

“I’m starting the school year for the first time with such a new, beautiful bag.”

Gocha: You even repeated after me that you want to be a sailor!

Beka: It’s not because of you! I also want to be a captain!    You’ll see; I’ll have a big ship. I’ll put all the good people on my ship, and we’ll go on a journey. A big journey… I forgot what it’s called.

Gocha: A cruise.

Beka: Yes, a cruise. It will be a kindness cruise. I will thank everyone who helped us, everyone. Wait, when I grow up…  You’ll see – I won’t forget it!

– Kids, will you take me on the kindness cruise?

Beka: If you make many children happy, we’ll take you too.

– What else did you like from the gifts, guys?

Gocha: The television. It’s so cool. I always wanted to watch travel shows, but we didn’t have a television. I recently watched the movie “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” I liked it so much that it became my favorite movie. Now I want to read the book.

“My kids have never been so happy!”

Beka: “This TV is smart, but Gocha is smarter!”

– Do you know who wrote it?

Gocha:  Of course! I do very well in school, I love both reading and learning. Jules Verne wrote it. Your Fund even rewarded me for excellent studies. If we had the internet, I would watch other movies on YouTube. But we don’t have internet, so I only watch what’s on TV.

The Fund honored Gocha with a certificate

Tamila: Thanks to you, we not only have a TV, fridge, but even a washing machine. These gifts were so unexpected!  I have to tell you a story.

Once, I was walking in the rain, and I didn’t even have an umbrella to stay dry. Suddenly, my phone rang, and a female voice said to me:

– I’m calling from ‘Elite Electronics.’  You ordered some appliances, and they will be delivered to you today.

– I replied, “No, you must be mistaken, I haven’t ordered anything.”

And I thought to myself, what kind of household appliances are these, and where will I get the money for them? It turned out that this unexpected and joyful call was a surprise from the Fund. Oh my God, it was truly amazing! You made me so happy! I was walking in the rain, and I was crying tears of joy. Raindrops and tears of happiness were running down my face together.  I haven’t been this happy in a long time!

“What an amazing surprise you’ve arranged for me! It takes real talent to do good so beautifully!”

“I’m all good; I got out to prevent my mom from washing me along with the clothes.”

– Tamila, when your husband left, you were literally left on the streets with two children, and you were pregnant on top of that. It’s tough to start from scratch in our time and in our country. We, along with our generous friends, are doing our best to make your life easier and provide assistance. We’ve already succeeded once, but your challenges are far from over; there are still many. Could you please let us know what you need the most at this stage?”

Tamila: I feel so embarrassed to keep asking and asking like this, but I’m really in a hard situation.

Gocha: You know how many times Mom has cried?  She cries when we run out of food. When we get sick, and she has no money for medicine, she cries. You know what made her cry once? I went hungry at school. The other kids had money and went to the school cafeteria to eat, but I had nothing. I never have anything. Mom doesn’t even have small change to give me. She has so much to deal with. Then, my stomach started hurting, and when I saw the other kids, it hurt even more. I didn’t cry, but when I told Mom, she cried…

Tamila: I still can’t think about that story without tears. In the evening, our wonderful teacher, Gulnara, found out about it. She called all the parents and asked them not to give money to the children who are studying in the lower grades for school.  Let them have lunch at home. This class had afternoon classes that started after lunch. I was so embarrassed in front of the teacher and the other parents. But for a mother, it’s like a death sentence when a child drools and looks at others’ food.

Gocha: That was two years ago. Now I’ve grown up and can endure when my stomach hurts. Mom is embarrassed, but I’ll tell you, aunt, what we need. We don’t have any cabinets in the kitchen. We don’t have any furniture except for beds. If you don’t need it, bring it to us, and I’ll invite friends over. I won’t be ashamed anymore.

– Tamila, what would you say to the people who have helped you and will continue to help in the future?

Tamila: Thank you very much! Perhaps, even in the blessed Georgian language, there is no suitable word to describe the feeling I experience when I see your support. I love you because you read stories of others’ hardships attentively and help completely unfamiliar people. I’m crying again…  What can I do, I cry sometimes from sadness, sometimes from joy.

Beka is once again waiting for your kindness and love.

Dear friends, this family still needs your help. It’s impossible to count how many things the children still lack.  They are good students – very diligent.  Think about how many things you bought your kids before the new school year started and how many more you’ll buy during it. Don’t forget about these cheerful, wonderful boys.  Perhaps, there is a place for them in your hearts and a gift in your basket.  Together, we can do great things!

If you have a heavy heart because of everyday problems or unresolved issues, as a distraction just see our posts on Facebook, or better call any of our beneficiaries, and all your problems will seem unimportant to you, compared with the problems of those to whom you helped in the most difficult moment of their lives.

Our problems are nothing 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.

Unfortunately, problems of this and other families do not end here and now… Therefore, from time to time, look through the stories of unhappy people on our website, and talk to them. Every time you dial the Phone of an unhappy person, God is blessing you! For sure! Go on helping these families! This is the best service to the Lord!

Friends, there is one more request: if you know about the misfortune of a neighbor or friend do a godly deed, drop us an email at: office-fsp@fsp.ge

Your kindness is a chance for yourself to be happy!

Friends, thanks again to each of you!
