Lord, my daughter smiles! You gave her a carefree laugh!

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

- Do you want me to show you the funniest prank? Pranks on TikTok are the coolest. Do you have TikTok? - Lizi keeps firing questions at me.

- Yes, I have.

- Watch from here. (Looks into my face and waits for my reaction.) It’s cool, right? (Laughs.) Would you do that? Do you shoot videos?

Her mom Tsira nods her head to me and smiles eloquently so as not to talk about Lizi in her presence. But one can see it without words: the child has changed a lot!

And only when Lizi picks up her new tablet and leaves, Tsira takes my hand and gives way to her feelings: “I am both happy and afraid of losing this fragile happiness. Lord, my child is smiling! I thought no one could do this. But you seem to have brought us out of the darkness where we have lived for years. We are learning to find joy in small things again."

Poor Tsira has gone through a lot. Lizi has nephrotic syndrome, and she takes handfuls of pills to live. She can only eat... medications. Lizi cried all the time. We told you this sad story:

But everything can change, and it changes when you are there! Joy and hope have settled in this house, one can hear carefree children's laughter here.

“Our life has gained meaning again,” - says Tsira. – “Well, Lizi's illness has not gone anywhere, but I started appreciating every day spent with my child. Now I know for sure that God never gives anyone an unbearable burden... I got much braver now: You are by my side in this struggle for my child’s life!”

We helped Lizi forget about her illness, and she turned into an ordinary carefree girl

- Tsira, we recently shared the story of your misfortune with our readers. What happened since the Fund appeared in your life?

Tsira: We calmed down and let out a sigh of relief. Our mood is completely different now. I began to notice that now I cry less often; fears and heavy thoughts tormented me before. My children are calm, full, and happy. Liziko is so happy with the tablet. You have made her cherished dream come true! You gave us comfort, which we never knew and never experienced - a washing machine, refrigerator. I am a grown woman, and for the first time now I’m trying to understand how to handle everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thanks to you, we have foodstuffs and medications for the next few days. This means that the health and life of my child is safe this week!

My husband and I were left completely alone in the face of disaster - Lizi's illness. All these years I thought that no one except for my husband's parents, who help us in any way they can, share their pension with us, cares about our problems. But now I feel a support of dozens of people! Your warm and hopeful words, your transfers, even of one lari, and your readiness to do something for us showed us that we are not alone in this world.

“I want to have a lot of meat and a little bit of candy in the fridge, although I can't eat it. (Sighs.) At least once a month”

 - It is true - you are not alone! We are with you! What do you remember the most?

  Tsira: Your project did what we did not manage to do: it helped Lizi to get distracted, to forget about her illness. She reluctantly feels that she is different, she needs to withstand many prohibitions. She's a child - she wants to go out with her friends, eat all sorts of yummies. But my daughter must follow special diet - she cannot eat salty food at all. She takes pills all day long, she sometimes even reminds me that it’s time to take another pill. Our close attention also reminds her of her disease.

  From the day my husband and I learned about our daughter's illness, all our thoughts revolve around her. The rest seemed to lose any sense. I never thought it would be possible to cheer Lizi and distract her from the disease. She was very sad lately, sad, and lonely... But you managed to! The tablet put her back in the mood. Lord, I will never forget Lizi's tears of joy! She screamed and jumped with joy! She suddenly became a carefree child. Thank you all for that!

“First, mom will understand how the washing machine works, and then I will.”

- Tsira, this was exactly our aim - to make Lizi happier! Did the local authorities somehow react to our post? Maybe they contacted you to help the child?

Tsira: What are you talking about? Unfortunately, that’s something unreal. We get allowance for two children - 100 GEL for each, but I was told recently that they will stop payments to the older child as soon as she turns 16. It means that in a couple of months the allowance will halve. Can you imagine that? If only we do not lose at least this allowance - I do not even hope for any extra help. This is how we live - anticipating something bad to happen all the time.

- Tsira, please, calm down! 

Tsira: Okay. They don’t deserve my experiences. But your readers really helped us! They met all our expectations.Of course, I had moments of despair when fatigue and fear clouded my mind. It turns out, that it is very difficult to maintain faith in people when you have a sick hungry child in your arms. I thought maybe someone was throwing away food, which we dreamed of. I often asked myself: “Why? Why it happened to my Lizi?” And this pandemic deprived us of our main income source.  Until now, my husband cannot get a job. How can you expect help from someone in such a difficult time?

But in the most difficult moments, someone appears by us: either an old friend brings you warm clothes, or a neighbor makes soup for you. God never left me. But when you appeared in our life, all my doubts disappeared. God forgive me my despair! Here is your mercy - here are so many good and kind people around us.

I heard a lot about your good deeds. I believed, I felt that my daughter would not leave anyone indifferent! So, it happened. My happiness is boundless! I am immensely grateful to the Fund for such significant support! This is the first large-scale aid for so many years of hardship and dire need!

“I can also wash. Mommy says it’s not difficult”

 - Tsira, could I please talk to our smart girl Lizi?

Tsira: Sure! Liziko, dear, come!

- How are you doing, honey? Your tablet is so cool! Did you tell us about this the last time?

Lizi (7-year-old): Yes, it’s so cool, that's exactly what I dreamed of! I use it to communicate with my friend. To find out the news. I switch on a camera and show her what I am doing. And she also shows me what she’s doing. Sometimes I even show my friend how I take my pills! At first, she used to get scared. “Please, enough, Lizi!” She even closed her eyes and then opened them one by one. (Smiles). But now she got used to it.

I also watch cartoons and some bloggers’ videos. When I go to bed, I want to wake up soon to switch on my tablet again. Thank you! You are even cooler than Santa!

- Have you already made your wish to him?

Lizi: Not yet - I am still thinking. Can I rely on him? Is he planning to come at all, or it will happen like last year? He used to send me at least fruits, but now he completely disappeared. Shameless Santa! (Laughs) Well, okay, I'll say out loud, what if it will come true? I would very much like to have beautiful clothes and shoes, as in the videos that I watch. I don't know, do you think that he heard me right now?

- He hears everything perfectly. Calm down, he will come. It is his job - to make children happy. What videos do you watch? What is the most interesting to you?

Lizi: I love TikTok! Everyone is so cool there! They prank. And make beautiful things from plasticine. I really want to try it too... Well, all videos on TikTok are funny. Do you want me to show you?

I also watch my favorite cartoon - “Masha and the Bear”. The Bear is so cute! I always laugh a lot when they torture each other. (Laughs.) Sometimes my mommy plays all sorts of girly movies for me. What beautiful girls are there! 

- You are the most beautiful girl, and you are very cute!

Lizi (smiles):They have a lot of toys, and I have no dolls at all. I would love to look after them and dress them up. And I have no books. You know, I really like reading about princesses and princes. I have only one book - they are so expensive. Can I ask for food too? My mom and dad don't buy meat, but I love it very much. It's so delicious! And I also want to never go to the doctor again and not to take these nasty medications! That’s it!

(Our dear Santas! Did you hear what little Liziko is dreaming of? It would be great if you could fulfill some of her dreams!)

- And what do you want, Nini?

Nini (Lizi’s older sister,15)I would like to have all sorts of books on history, I love reading about this topic. And I would like my parents to have money for these books. I also decided that I would certainly go to university. I need to work hard to help my parents treat Lizi. I want everything to work out for me. I must try for the sake of my little sister.

- We are sure you will succeed!  Well done for thinking ahead. Now we will complete our conversation with your mom Tsira, can the friends of the Fund help you in any other way? Are there any problems which remain unresolved?

Tsira: You are very attentive - I am so grateful to you! Throughout our life, we have addressed so many people for help, but they refused to provide us even with some insignificant help. And you managed to unite the entire Georgia for the sake of my child. Honestly, we have lots of problems. Lizi told you everything right. The main thing for me is her health. At the moment, she needs examinations, and we barely have enough money for food. I would like my child to have nice clothes, her favorite books, food... You see what conditions we live in, how needy we are. I beg you, for Lizi’s sake, please don't leave us! The child perked up, I really did not expect such a change in her and I hold on to this fragile happiness! I beg you, be with us!

For God's sake, for the sake of this smile, let's keep fighting for Lizi's life and happiness! 

  ***

  Dear friends! See how happy Lizi is? Each of you has instilled a sparkle of hope in the heart of this little sick girl! Do you see how her pretty face shines with a smile? Lizi dreams and believes again!

  But time goes on, supply of food and medications that the family has will soon run out.  Lizi's mother, Tsira, again addressed us asking for help! The family is in great need, they barely have enough for food, and they have a sick daughter in their arms, and she needs treatment and examinations every month. What should Lizi's parents do now? How should they explain to their child that there will be no lunch or dinner today? The family survives on the meager allowance and pension of the parents. They need everything: foodstuffs, clothes, books and toys for the child. But first of all, Lizi needs treatment.

  We won't let the irreparable to happen, will we? We won't leave a sick child hungry, will we? My dear ones, let us demonstrate to the entire Georgia, to the whole world that the pain of our compatriots is our pain! Let's give happiness to little Lizi.
