These are the words of a young woman, Natia Toliashvili, the mother of Alexander, who can't find a moment of peace due to his hunger. He hasn't eaten for days, and to curb his hunger, his mother feeds him tea! Yes, you heard that right – tea is the only edible thing they have. Well, there's also the bread from which Natia scraped off all the mold, and the bread doesn't seem as daunting now. But the smell and taste don't vanish. And the little one clings to it and bites it fiercely. This will be his only treat until they receive assistance. For the next few days, his mother will prepare porridge, boil pasta, maybe even manage to make soup with cabbage and greens... and after that, it's back to bread and tea... and his mother's songs, an attempt to shift her son's attention even for a brief moment.
Natia: Just last month, my little boy had a severe sore throat, with plenty of pus. The doctor prescribed so many medications that we couldn't even afford to buy them all. We managed to buy only the most essential ones, and then our assistance ran out. And Alexander gets sick very often. How could he not? He grew up eating only bread.
- And isn't there anyone helping you? How do you even survive?
Natia: There's no one to help us. My husband grew up in an orphanage. He doesn't have any blood relatives in this world. He was left at an infant home, and he doesn't even know what it's like to feel parental warmth. And when he hears the word "MOM," tears well up in his eyes. He has told me many times that he would be the happiest person if he simply knew who his parents were. He doesn't even know their names. It's as if everyone conspired not to tell him. For him, family is sacred. Do you know how much he loves us? He works physically day and night to buy diapers and bread... but there isn't always work available. That's why we sometimes have to go hungry.
- And your parents?
Natia: I have a mother and a sick brother – he's in a wheelchair. They're unfortunate. They can't help us in any way. They can barely make ends meet themselves. We lived with my mother for a while, but she also has just one room. And living there became unbearable. It's hard for my brother to hear the baby cry all day long. That's when God sent us this kind person who allowed us to stay in this building for a while. Sometimes strangers do so much good for you!
- It's good that you have a roof over your head.
Natia: Exactly. We have a roof and nothing else. No toilet, no bathroom... Look at where we sleep. We don't even have chairs. But don't think that I'm troubling you about furniture. I need food and diapers for my son. That's it! If I have a few months' worth of food stocked up, and he won't cry from hunger, I'll be the happiest woman.
- Natia, you're still so young! When did you become a mother?
Natia: You're right! I was 19 years old. I met my husband at a boarding school. He was studying there, and so was I. He's 7 years older than me. We became very good friends. When I first heard his sad story about his family, or rather how he was abandoned, I felt so sorry for him. I wanted to hug him and never let go. So he could feel some warmth at least. Our friendship turned into love, and then we started a family. At first, my mother was very against it. She said I'd ruin my life, but then she saw how hardworking Georgy was, how skillful he was with his hands, and she blessed our union.
- Did you imagine your life this way?
Natia: No! I thought everything would be different. I thought I would start a family and live like in a fairy tale. But it turned out to be much more complicated. Love alone won't provide for you. And you can't cure a child with it. I really wanted to become a stylist, to work, to create even a small corner of happiness for myself... but it wasn't meant to be.
- Do you have regrets?
Natia: Sometimes, when my son goes hungry for days and there's nothing to feed him, when I have to wash dirty diapers... that's when I wonder if I rushed into things. But then I'll hug my son and my husband, and I realize that this is my life and we'll definitely get through it. I dream that when I can take Alexander to daycare, I'll still study to become a stylist and work. I'll help my husband, and life won't be so difficult. But those are all dreams... before that, we have to somehow survive... that's why I reached out to you.
- How can we help?
Natia: First and foremost, if you could help us with food for my child, so he doesn't have to eat whatever he finds. I want to be at ease, knowing he won't die of hunger. We also urgently need diapers. We need a bed, even just one chair. I can't think of anything else. The refrigerator isn't working properly either. But none of that matters as much as making sure my son doesn't cry from hunger and I don't have to feed him moldy bread.
It's hard to comprehend someone else's suffering if you haven't experienced it yourself. But God forbid, if your children were hungry, what would you feed them? Just think about it for a moment. How would it feel to see your little son or daughter crying from hunger? Imagine your children drinking tea and eating the only thing in the house – moldy bread that you have to scrape the mold off of. How long can one live like that?
Our children have a chance to grow up healthy and strong with access to proper nutrition. What wrong have the thousands of children done who don't even have the slightest chance at a happy life?
