Chernovetskyi Charity Fund

Mom Tamara and her seven-year-old son Gabriel are alone in the entire world. Their dad has been gone for six years now: he killed himself because of boundless poverty and grief... They have no relatives either, there is nowhere to seek for help, there is no one to hope for. All that remains is to be strong, survive and pray to God. So they do, but they have no strength left at all.

Six months ago, a fire took away everything they had: newly renovated rooms, beautiful furniture, appliances and all their dreams ...

“Let’s go, I’ll show you a hole! You know, I almost died there? It grabbed my leg, and I screamed: "A-ah-ah!" But my mother managed to grab me, otherwise it would have eaten me!" - baby Niniko drags me by the hand. She wants to show me some sinister hole. “Just look, be careful, it can grab you too,” - the baby warns me.

“Mom, Andria grabbed the entire bread loaf again, now he’ll eat everything himself, he’ll leave us nothing,” - six-year-old Mari calls her mother for help. She knows that she will not be able to cope with her brother alone and that he will not give away the bread himself. Then nine-year-old Giorgi, six-year-old Mari, five-year-old Alexander will be left without bread, and only two-year-old Andria will have his fill...

Mom Inga gets 320GEL social allowance for her three daughters and herself. It is somehow enough for two weeks, and then they start starving... If this unbearable living routine lasted a little longer, it would make this unfortunate woman commit suicide without getting out of depression... But she was "lucky" - she was entitled to attend a social canteen, and now she and her daughters can get at least some gruel there. Although it can hardly be called normal food, it still saves them on hungry days.

Just imagine what does a mother feel when she sees her 37-year-old son sitting on the floor, rolling his toy car, and humming something into his toy phone...
