“Daddy, mommy, look, this is a real TV!  It’s real and new! It’s still dressed in cardboard clothes! Can I undress it myself? How awesome it is! Did you buy it in the store? Does it show cartoons? It is plasma, right? Is it like others have? Come on, daddy, let's open it! Please! Can we open it while you're here? Let's see together, can we?" - little Mirian does not stop even for a minute.

  To say that you have made this family happy is to say nothing. Little Mirian's eyes shine like diamonds! It’s beyond words. It seems to be a trifle, but the boy will remember this day for the rest of his life. And we are sure that this is what will change his future for the better! Because he knows now that even little people’s dreams come true.

  Giorgi takes a breath (he speaks with shortness of breath) and says: “I bless all those people who took our story to heart!You see how happy my son is! May God grant all of you, friends of the Fund, health, happiness, strength, prosperity! Let Him reward you for the good! Let you have a hundredfold so that you can help those in need."

    Giorgi is a second category disabled, a dwarf, diagnosed with cerebral palsy. It is difficult for him to move, to stand on his feet for a long time. And no one works in the family - neither Giorgi nor his wife Mari (she has the status of a person with disabilities). But life demands its own. They must raise their little son Mirian. The Mamaiashvili family really needed support, and they get it. Dozens of people could not ignore the story of the little man and made their contribution to the noble cause.

    We talked to Giorgi to find out how they are living now.

- Giorgi, what has changed in your life since we told people your story?

Giorgi: We felt hope and care. If I say that I felt myself in seventh heaven, this will not be enough. I am a little man, but my joy is huge. I am so happy to know that we are not alone. Thanks to caring people, we have learned what comfort is. I myself would not be able to buy either a TV or a gas stove. And I would be happy to get even second-hand things. And here it is! Very necessary gifts for our family. My son is just delighted, and my heart warms and rejoices for him. 

- What does Mari cook for you on a new stove?

Giorgi: She uses the oven too, she bakes bread and cookies. We'd better bake bread at home, it's cheaper. Because one from the shop costs 80 tetris. It turns out expensive. Mari is so pleased! New things have appeared at home! The old stove had only two burners working out of four, but even those worked badly. It is stored now in the cellar as scrap metal.

  Mari, who until that moment had only smiled modestly, joined the conversation.

Mari: Thank you very much from me too! I am very happy with the gifts.

Mirian wants to share his impressions.

Mirian: I eat whatever mommy cooks. You know, there are picky children, who are extremely particular and capricious. And I love everything that mommy cooks. Soups, pilaf, lobio. Mom gets up before us, turns on the stove. I feel delicious smells, and I don't want to sleep anymore. I ask her: "Is it ready, may I come?" And mom calls us soon.

    But she does not make shawarma, although I often ask her. Probably it will be for a holiday? 

- Who most often uses the TV remote control?

- It’s a good point! (Giorgi laughs.) Everyone wants to see their own. For example, I really like to listen to news. Both morning and evening ones. Marie is crazy about her Turkish TV series, she keeps switching the channels. She also watches the Marao channel. Mirian wants to watch cartoons. Our TV is nice to look at - everything is colorful, the screen is large and good. Faces and objects are large, clearly visible. What else to do during the corona if not watch TV? They closed us at our homes again. But we are not bored. We have such entertainment! Thanks to the kind people. Those who help poor people like me not to lose heart, deserve the best. If I were able to help others, I would do the same. This is very noble, and it deserves respect.

- And you, baby, what do you usually watch?

Mirian: "Tom and Jerry", "PAW Patrol", sometimes I watch movies too. But only after I do my homework. Dad doesn't want me to sit in front of the TV all day long.Have you watched “Tom and Jerry”?

- Yes, it's a good cartoon. Whose fan are you?

- Jerry’s. But when he torments the cat severely, I am Tom’s fan. However, I would not like real Jerry to come to my place, no, no! (Laughs.) Once a rat used to come from the sewer side, and it ate the wires at home. This place is closed now.

- You know, baby, I wanted to watch this cartoon again, I will do it tonight. 

- Giorgi, was there any response to the post from the local authorities?

- Eh, the authorities remember me only before the elections. Our gamgebeli (chairman of the board) gave us a one-time 100 GEL aid. They cannot ignore me completely.

    I am still fighting to have social assistance restored. I have addressed all the authorities on this issue, even the prime minister. They do not hurry up, they seem to be promising, but ... Only because I have a roof over my head, my home, they stopped helping. This house is a hundred years old, and it is my parents’. And what then? When we are hungry, should we eat our home? Our monthly income is 200 GEL. From here 50 GEL go for utilities - gas, electricity. The remainder is for the whole month. Sometimes, neighbors call Mari to gather persimmons.

- It is clear from your words that there are still many unresolved issues that you need help with. Can you specify what exactly you need?

Giorgi: I am grateful for everything that you did for us. Let help reach every needy family. My cry for help was heard. There are many good, warm-hearted people in Georgia.  However, this is what I want to ask for...

  It is very important for me that my son Mirian could attend all on-line lessons. Unfortunately, he learns intermittently. We don't have Internet at home, I can't pay even for the 2-GEL telephone Internet, so Mirian does not always get in touch with his teacher Marika. I am worried a lot about it. He is a first grader, and a lot depends on the beginning: whether he will take interest in learning, whether he will learn well. If someone gave him a used laptop ... He's a smart boy, he’s my hope. When he needs help with his homework, I usually sit with him. Mathematics, Georgian, Natural History. My Mari cannot read or write.

Winter is coming and it blows in the house. We need to change the windows. When it rains or snows, the whole balcony gets full of water. Metal slate could solve this problem. If we could get the material, our neighbor would help us with the installation in a friendly way. And one more thing ... It's embarrassing to ask, but since I have no money of my own and there is no way to earn money, I would like to ask for a warm sports uniform and winter boots so as not to catch cold.

  The Chernovetskyi Fund and its friends have done so much for us that I will never tire of thanking you. You are our guardian angels. I never thought that guardian angels can be seen by eyes. But here they are - so many kind people! And everyone is next to us!

Friends, if you personally could talk to Giorgi, Mari and their little son, you would want to hug them, hold them to your heart and do something good for them. Despite their hard fate and serious health problems, Giorgi and Mari are very lucid and positive people. They are as sincere, as children, and just as defenseless. Share your care and love with this nice family, help them go through the trials that have befallen them, and God will certainly repay you a hundredfold. New Year is approaching, and you can give them some miracles. There is a tiny heart in this family, which awaits miracles, despite all the difficulties. Little Mirian must be waiting for them!
