For the first time in our life, we also got a bit of happiness!

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

“Bella! Help!” - Gio calls his sister. It looks like he found himself in the warehouse of a confectionery factory. There are eight boxes of different cookies around Gio. He wanted to count, but got confused, because he can only count to ten. And there is a lot in the box. And they are so delicious and crispy. You eat them without noticing how they disappear.

“Let’s first eat the ones with jam,” - the older sister decides. - Then chocolate, then these, with a pattern. One more, and that's it. Okay, two more, and that's it."

"Look at my children, I  haven’t seen them so happy for so long..." - says mom Natia. Natia, whose story made the most persistent hearts tremble.

A single mother of two, who suffers epilepsy. A victim of domestic violence, tired, exhausted, who struggled with all her strength for the lives of her children, like a wounded animal... Thanks God, we got there in time!!! Right on time! If we were a little late, the children could have become orphans... But you, our dear friends, the most caring people in the world, managed to demonstrate the power of compassion and love for your neighbor!

“How can I thank you? - Natia keeps worrying. - What should I say, what should I do? I would bake delicious pancakes for all of you! Maybe this time will come too? One thing I can do right now is thank each of you a lot and pray for you."

  - Natia, just recently the entire Georgia learned about your trouble and tried to help you with joint efforts of people. What happened during this time, what has changed?

  Natia: I have always wondered who needs us - me and my children? What have I seen in my life besides violence and humiliation? But I won't think that anymore. I saw so much care and kindness from you, so much attention. This is the first time that something has changed in the life of our family. For the first time we had such a great joy.

  You gave us the best washing machine. At last, the children's clothes will be clean... And now we have a new refrigerator: look how big and beautiful it is! The children are so happy, I was also distracted, I don't constantly think about my ailments. For the first time in my life, someone asked me about my health, showed concern. We missed all this so much! We missed attention, warmth, love, this little bit of happiness... And you gave it to us!

Gio: “I know there must be food here. Since they gave us this thing, then we will have food as well?"

  - Your words of gratitude will surely reach the hearts of our readers - the most caring and compassionate! What turned out to be the most memorable for you?

  Natia: This is the day when they brought gifts to us. The children were in seventh heaven! They shouted with joy, did not calm down! I understand this: they are not used to such things. We lived alone with our problems, and suddenly we got such attention! I am grateful to all the friends of the Fund who took our misfortune so close to their hearts that they decided to give joy to my poor children too, to warm them with care and attention.

Gio keeps track of cookies so they don't get eaten up quickly 

  - Natia, what about the local authorities? How did they react to our post?

  Natia: It worked! As soon as the post was published, we received one-time help from the local administration of the city of Kaspi. They brought us foodstuffs: pasta, sugar, butter, flour. It's a pity that it ended soon. But thanks for that. There is a minimum allowance of 290 GEL. I hold on to this too, what else to do?

- Natia, we are so happy that after so many disappointments you used to have, you have back your faith in people and faith in selfless help.Tell me about your emotions!

Natia: There is no more resentment and despair in my heart. You gave me spirit, made me believe that everything can still work out. That this is not the end of life, and there is not only pain, hunger and poverty ahead! That we can have something good too. Even for a sick woman like me, it can be a holiday.

God is merciful and helps by sending us good people. I do not know what would have happened to us further without your help. I read a lot about your Fund, about how much good you have done to people, and I asked myself the question: "Maybe we will be so lucky too?" We also deserve a little bit of happiness?! I really hoped for the help of caring people, and my expectations came true! You asked me about my emotions? It was joy! And happiness! I cried like a little girl... To be honest, I cry all the time, but for the first time in these years - I cried with joy, I cried because my heart got free.

I want to say thank you to everyone who showed generosity and helped us! I admire your mercy! I pray to God that I too will someday have the opportunity to help my neighbor. I swear I'll share even my single piece of bread with them!

Gio is confused by the count. He can only count to 10, and there are so many cookies in the box. Bella came to help him: "First, let's eat the cookies with jam, and hide the rest of the boxes." 

  - Bella is mommy’s daughter. She is always by you and one can notice that she is very worried about you.  Bella, what about you, dear? Which gift did you like the most? What are you dreaming about?

Bella (10 years old): The washing machine is very cool! Mom can't stand for a long time and wash with her hands. I used to be afraid that she might feel bad while doing laundry, and something terrible would happen. She's still weak. (Hugs her mom.)I will do the laundry myself. I just need someone to show me where to push and what to do. Do you want me to load the wash today, Mom?

(Natia kisses her daughter, smiles.)

Well, a dream... I just want to have a delicious meal. Can this be considered a dream?!

- Bella, honey, we promise you will have a delicious hot lunch! But maybe you want something else as a gift besides food?

Bella: Oh, I have to think ... But better bring me food, please. Maybe a sausage? I tried it once and really liked the taste. I would also like another jacket - warm, this one is not warm, and it is so dirty and ugly...
 And the warm boots too, so that they don't pinch my toes. I grew out of my old ones, and it hurts to walk. But I want sausages most of all, and sweets too! We do not immediately eat those sweets that you gave us. But they will end anyway. And they are so delicious!

- Accepted. We will pass on all your dreams to kind people!  Gio, how are you?

Giorgi (5-year-old): Mom says we're doing well. Do you know how many cookies I have? But I didn’t find the toys when the gifts arrived.

- How do you play then?

Giorgi: I don't know - whatever I'll find on the floor, that's what I play.

Bella: Can I answer instead of him? Gio has no toys at all. And I know for sure that he dreams of cars!

- You are a good girl, you worry about your mother, about your brother. Thanks for telling me what to give Gio! We still have to ask Mom something. Natia, are there any problems left which we could help you to solve?

Natia:Oh, it seems that the problems in my life will never come to end... I am grateful to you for everything. But, if you will manage to help us again, it would be a real New Year's gift! Most importantly, we really need foodstuffs. Anything - bread, meat, some sweets for children... I can't look at Gio and Bella starving. It is so difficult to put them to sleep when their stomach is empty - they cry and are fussy. And also, my medications... But I don’t remember exactly which ones, I forgot, everything flies out of my head. I need to find out. It will be good to see a doctor, because the pain is getting stronger, the attacks happen more frequently, but I don’t get any treatment. I'm worrying for my children, what will happen to them without me?!  You can see for yourself that it is hard to find conditions that are worse than ours. Man would not even put an animal in this shed, but somehow we still exist here. We will be grateful for everything - both clothes and beds... And a good word! Please help us if you can!

 Friends, we have already raised funds for the Aptsiauri family once. It is very important to unite once again! The family will be grateful for any help: food, medications, winter clothes, beds, mobile phone. Each lari transferred by you will make the life of this family, treacherously abandoned by relatives and friends, a little bit better. I beg you, let's bring the work started to the end, giving Natia and her children a piece of the New Year's miracle, which they never had!

Our compatriots, the Aptsiauri family, live below the poverty line. It is difficult to describe the poverty and unbearable conditions where children grow up! Only such caring people like us can help poor sick single mother Natia to save her children!

  Our problems are noting 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.
