One year ago, the son begged to save his mother, and now the mother is begging the Lord and all of us to save her son!

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

This cute kid says he will eat all the goodies

Mommy is nearby and gives delicious porridge to Giorgi. There is his most favorite cartoon about the giraffe Jose on TV. “Mom, sing along with Jose!”Giorgi asks. And mother Lela turns into a little cheerful girl, showing first a cat, then a sheep, then a bunny. Giorgi is having fun and is dangling his legs. He always wanted it to be like this, he really likes it. 

But it wasn't like that before. There was no porridge, no TV, no paints for drawing. And his mother was sad all the time. But now George has it all. So his mom shouldn't be sad anymore?

We wrote about the amazing mother Lela Gigolashvili and her boy George one year ago. Their story is impossible to forget!

Lela was operated on six times, she experienced clinical death for four times, but she still dared to have the baby she wanted. You saw that they had a bad time, you worried about them and did a lot for them. Thank you for being the best!

But is it so that Lela shouldn't be sad anymore? Or Giorgi is not aware of everything?

- Lela, how your life has changed since we published a post about you?

Lela: First of all, I greet all the readers and friends of the Fund. And thank you from the bottom of my heart. You showed me the light at the end of the tunnel, you made me feel that I am not alone. Kindness is powerful! I walk with crutches. Kind people are the biggest support in anyone’s life! You literally breathed life into me. Now I need your help more than ever! I am very worried. Give me some time to gather my courage and I'll tell you everything.

- Okay, Lela. What does the help and support of the friends of the Fund mean to you personally?

Lela: Hope, relief and some restful sleep. When I know that I have food and medications for at least next few months, then I feel calm. Besides that, I always read your posts - I see that you return hope to so many people who have lost it. I see how you put them back on their feet, give them the opportunity to breathe. Even reading their stories makes me happy, when I know that you helped so many people in need. And I am among them. What your Fund and its friends are doing reminds me of spring. Your kindness is like pure spring water. Thank you that you exist! Thank you that you keep doing your wonderful work.

Lela: "Lion” starts with this letter, and my name too"

- Did you make new friends after the start of the project? Would you single out someone?

Lela: Our son's kindergarten teacher, Nino Mindikauri, became very close to us. She works with my Giorgi for free, teaches him, spends time with him. He became very attached to Nino the teacher, even came up with the name "Aka Papa" (porridge. - Ed.). Because she gives him porridge, takes care of him. This is what my boy likes the most. (Lela smiles.)

I also want to mention the parents of the children from Giorgi's kindergarten. After the publication of the post, they constantly wrote to me, asking how we were doing. There are a lot of people who showed attention. I can't list all the names. Complete strangers wrote to me and asked how we were doing. Such attention makes you feel happy. A person in need always lacks warmth, so you remember every word.

I should also mention my childhood friend Natia Sheshaberidze. Of course, I knew her before, but I want publicly thank her for her support. Natia did not leave me in trouble and was by my side until the end. I also thank Theona Basharuli for her attention and warmth.

“These are our friends, Giorgi. Invite them to come in”

- Which one of the gifts did Giorgi like the most?

Lela: All your gifts made us very happy. But the new TV captured all of Giorgi's attention. He loves the cartoon about Jose very much. Sometimes TV helps me calm my son down. He loves this new thing so much that he keeps bringing me the remote: “Switch it on switch it on!” (Smiles).

When we hear songs, we also sing. These are the minutes of relaxation. When I cook food, Georgy watches TV. By the way, I quickly figured out how to handle the new gas stove. It became very convenient to work in the kitchen. Thank you! My gratitude has no bounds!

Lela: “We cook together, Giorgi helps me when it’s necessary”

- Lela, one can feel great excitement behind your smile. You hesitate to say something. Please tell me, we want to know everything.

Lela: I don’t know where to start with, it hurts me a lot to even talk about it, but now I need your help more than ever... When you came last time, we talked about my health, and I was worried, hoping that my child would have healthy and strong mother. How could I imagine that the worst is yet to come... (Cries.)

A month ago, I took my son to the doctor, because suspicion had begun to grow in my mind. Giorgi is almost five years old, and he is no longer developing as he should. Before that, the doctors reassured me, they said that his strange behavior was normal for his age. And so we left the doctor with a terrible diagnosis - autism!

I still feel petrified, I can’t come to my senses. Now I do not only need to somehow survive and raise my child, but I also have to think about saving Giorgi. I don't know where I can get so much energy?! But now I can't afford to be weak, I have to be strong for him. I also have to learn and grow with George, if, of course, I have such an opportunity. With your help, we lived for several months. What should I do now?

Giorgi needs to visit a psychologist on a regular basis for treatment, he needs vitamins, he needs exercises. In addition to mental developmental issues, he does not develop physically, he has very weak joints. Now our monthly income is 350 GEL. I have no idea what to spend them on - on food or treatment? 350 GEL is such a little amount of money. For this amount it is impossible to do either one or the other.

I applied for funding. There is some program for children with autism.  I was told that they would cover a small part of this therapy, not the entire course. They will answer within nine months. It remains only to wait... We have a very tense situation at home now - sleepless nights, chaotic situations, thoughts about the future. I'm afraid that one day I just won't be able to get up and help Giorgi. Besides that, I need to be operated on my legs so that I can walk in the future. How can I help my son while I’m in a wheelchair? I'm not talking about my other diseases - goiter, tachycardia - I don't consider them diseases.

Giorgi drew sores. They are bad, that’s why they are black. And some scribbles

I have only two main problems right now. The first is to bring George to the age when he can eat, walk, take care for himself independently, which is realistic with long-term therapy. And the second is my operation so that I can be full-fledged and spend another 15 years next to my son. Can you imagine my situation? In what state are we and how do we withstand each new day? But I will fight for Giorgi. Please, helm me with this if you can! I am now deeply convinced that with the help of people like you, everything is possible. I have you.

– Lela, we are upset by this sad news. But you are right that you do not lose hope. Treatment will give him a real chance to get better. And the friends of our Fund never stand aside when it comes to saving life and health.

Lela: You are my last hope. In fact, we hang on a thread that is about to break, and we will fall. With all my heart I wanted to meet you positively and say only pleasant and joyful things. Because you have done so much for us. But unfortunately, this is my fate. The time has come when I physically struggle with poverty, standing on crutches, and nothing works out for me.

Water for porridge is ready

– Did the local authorities somehow react on our post? Was there any feedback from them?

Lela: Recently, I addressed the local authorities both personally and in writing, asking for an ad-hoc aid - 150 GEL. But they coldly refused me, saying that the quarterly budget had been exhausted, and therefore they could not even provide me with ad-hoc aid. I showed them all the papers saying I was disabled, but to no avail.

I'm waiting for funding for the surgery. The new price for the surgery is ten thousand lari. They said they would finance me with three thousand lari, let’s see. But where can I get the rest when I have nothing?

“Is that all? Finished?”

– Lela, you named your main problems you need help with. Perhaps someone will decide to help you in your everyday matters. Could you please name them too?

Lela: If it is possible, I really need kitchenware, enamel pots to store food for a long time. We rarely cook food and we try to make sure that it lasts for a long time. So, we need pots made of such material that will allow us that Maybe someone has such kitchenware at home, but they do not use it?

I have no other requests. I am grateful for every donated lari and will never forget about your kindness.

“I want to be with you, son. God help me! Give me strength!"

 ***

Dear friends! It is hard to add anything else, it is even difficult to comprehend that financial problems determine the matter of your health and life. Lela and Giorgi have to live in a bitter reality. The state does not care about them If we do not help them, they will become lonely passengers of an empty train that flies towards trouble, and there is no one to stop it.

If this worries your heart and you want to help them - don't delay doing that. Your heart is not mistaken, it did not accidentally pinch with pain. Their future and health can be saved! You can change everything!

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.
