The most wonderful gift was that...

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

“I thought it was impossible! I really did not expect such sympathy, such expensive gifts! One, two, three... ten! A lot of! We got a lot of gifts!” Tatia covers her eyes with her hands. That’s how she expresses joy, amazement, and happiness at the same time.

“And the groceries?! Thanks to kind people, our room was filled with food. My kids won't be eating watery vermicelli soup for a while anymore. Hungry Gabriel won't cry all the time: “Mom, I’m very hungry, give me at least some bread, please…” Tatia continues to express her feelings.

“While mom cooks food for us let’s eat sweets! For once you can first eat sweets then food!”

“My babies will have food and won't cry anymore. Giorgi told me: “Mom, it turned out you cook delicious food! But you fed us with vermicelli soup ... ""

Tatia Gabunia is a single mother. She raises two little children. Until now, she had nothing of her own. She lives in a rented house. But houses differ! This one cannot be called a house - it is more like a shack or a shelter.

Our Fund published a post about the Gabunia family on November 3, 2021. Here is a link:

- Tatia, first of all, I want to ask how are you doing?

Tatia: I haven't been this happy in a long time! It’s a merit of your Fund. Kind people took my pain to heart. Do you see how many gifts did we get? My children only dreamed about delicious food, fruits, and sweets. There are many things they could dream of besides food. Lots of things! But when they were hungry, they forgot about anything else. And you, my dear people, made my kids immensely happy. You filled our refrigerator with food, cookies, fruits, and treats. Well, the refrigerator that you gave us yourself. We never had such a luxury!

“Let’s look into the fridge to see what yummies we have!”

I didn’t even dare to think about home appliances. And now we have a refrigerator, washing machine, TV, tablet, iron, blender, mixer - we have everything. The employees of the Fund paid attention to our furniture as well. They brought us two beautiful beds and a chest of drawers. Lord, will my children really sleep softly and sweetly?!

“We dreamed of a bunk bed because there is a little space in our house”

– Your life has changed significantly since we first came to you and published a post about you. Did you expect that?

Tatia: You are right, things have changed for the better. To be honest, I was somewhat skeptical about funds. I have always believed that there is a little kindness, but what you have done for me is both kindness and magic!

- No, Tatia, it’s not magic! We exist to unite people in a chain of goodness, and then warm each other's hearts.

Tatia: You warmed my heart, you made my children happy. Do you know what was the best gift?

 “Son, if these trainers do not fit you, we will give them to other baby, right?”

- A washing machine? Our beneficiary ladies are always most happy about it.

Tatia: Undoubtedly, the washing machine is a very valuable gift to me. But the most wonderful gift was that I got a chance to help other mommies in need. Thanks to you I managed to help others.

- What do you mean?

Tatia: When the post was published, many people brought us food and clothes. We got a lot of foodstuffs. My children and I won’t be able to eat it all. Some of the foodstuffs were perishable. So, I decided to share it with others. There are lots of mommies in need like me. Some of the clothes did not fit my children, so we shared clothes too. It feels so great when you help others! I could not do this until now, because I had nothing. What could I give others? Now I understand how happy are people who can always help others and who help others!

- Many of them are friends of our Fund!

Tatia: I want to say a big thank you to them for existing as a hope for me and people like me!

- When they learned about your trouble, someone visited you personally, some became friends with you. Who would you remember? Who do you particularly remember?

Tatia: I will never forget the ladies who gave us Redmi 11 phone and lots of toys and food. They turned out to be colleagues. The organizer of this good deed was one of them - Mrs. Dina. God bless them! If you only knew with how much warmth and love, they came to visit us. We had such a terrible phone before - it constantly turned off by itself, at times it had no sound. We couldn't call anywhere. Not to mention the Internet. Well, they made us immensely happy! 

Giorgi is not very good at expressing his joy. But the minute he saw the phone, his eyes suddenly lit up and he started dancing with joy! They brought toys to Gabi, a lot of cars. Gabi dreamed of military cars. You should have seen how happy he was when he found a military car amongst the gifts! He even goes to bed with cars. We couldn't take them from him.  My children never had such toys.

Tamuna, who visited us together with her husband also made us very happy. This wonderful couple brought scooters, lots of sweets and clothes to my children. Can you imagine how happy my children were when they saw these scooters? There were two of them - one for each of them. On that day, instead of their crying, a cheerful children's hubbub was heard from our hut!

I will never forget two wonderful girls - Tea and Vika. And also, Keti, Nata, Gvantsa, Mrs. Eliso, Mr. Niko. I don’t know who else to name. I don’t want to miss anyone. But, if I forget to give their names now, this does not mean that their faces will not remain forever in my heart! I have a huge sense of gratitude towards them. I wish that this kindness will return to them a hundredfold in life.

I just remembered the man who brought us ten bags of firewood and immediately disappeared. I didn’t even have time to thank him, let alone ask for his name. Also, Mr. Niko Darchia made Giorgi especially happy. He made his old dream come true - he brought him a bicycle! Giorgi was not at home at that moment, but when he came back...

– If possible, let Giorgi tell us himself. Giorgi, were you very happy with the bike?

Giorgi (8-year-old): I was really happy! I jumped on it right away. They gave me not only a bicycle. Do you want me to show you how many things I have?

- What did you like the most?

Giorgi: The most? (Thinks, can't decide what to say.) Most of all I liked the tablet.

Giorgi will no longer miss lessons

- Why?

Giorgi: Because I will be able to attend online classes. I love learning and won't fall behind anymore. I had nothing - no computer, no tablet, no phone. I could not attend online lessons, I missed them all the time. I didn't want my studies to continue online. I wanted to go to school with my friends. I like going to school. The school is big, but my house is small. Besides that, the school is warm, and water does not flow from the ceiling. Now it is being renovated, and my school will become even better.

- What subject do you like most of all?

Giorgi: English. I read short stories in English and understand everything well. And the teacher says to me: “You missed a lot, but still well done!”

- What did Gabriel like the most?

Gabriel: I liked candies and chocolates because I love them a lot! Do you want me to tell you what else do I like? I like porridge and cake. I will eat to the end - I will not leave anything. Will you bring me a cake when you come?

 “Everything is so cool!”

- I’ll bring you lots of sweets!

Gabriel: I will let you play with my toys then. Then we will watch Tom and Jerry on TV. We have a new TV!

 Look what cool cartoons are there on my new TV.”

Tatia: Children were so happy with the TV. They often watch cartoons and behave more calmly. We lived in this house like cavemen. I got information from my neighbor. We didn't have a TV or any information media. We are locked up all the time. We can't go anywhere. If we go out, I count each tetri for the transport. And where to go? I do not work and will not be able to work with two kids. And to take them somewhere for a walk, you need so much money! The child will either ask to go to the store or asks to buy him an ice cream. How can I explain to him that our family's budget is only 100 GEL per month, which remains from the social allowance after paying the rent? Now a new problem has appeared - Gabriel's legs started to ache. He used to have this problem at an early age, but with the help of kind people, I cured him. Then we had to go for a check, but could not, due to lack of funds. All the time I dream that nothing hurts them. What will happen to us then? But can't all dreams really come true?

- Do you get any help other from social allowance? Do the local authorities help you in any manner?

Tatia: Nothing. No one helps us in any manner. We can’t even go to a social canteen. There are no places in the nearest canteens, and I have no money for transport to go to the distant ones. We are not on the homeless list. They say: “You are not registered here”. I wonder, is there anyone more homeless than us? Take a look at this shack, see what it looks like! But for me, it’s a dream: if only this shack was mine...

Children play Minecraft on the tablet you gave them, they build houses. They say to me: “Mom, look what a beautiful house we have.” Giorgi says that when he grows up, he will study a lot and really build me a beautiful house. May the Lord hear my baby, and may He not leave us in the street until then...

***

Friends, we managed to contain the danger that threatened this family for a while! We managed to give them a lot of necessary things, to make them feel joy and support. But they still have problems. They still need food and clothing. Besides that, Gabriel needs to visit the doctor urgently. And the problem of proper housing, which is most important for them, remains unresolved! So, let’s keep building a strong chain of good deeds. Let’s unite and help again this poor homeless family!

If you have a heavy heart because of everyday problems or unresolved issues, as a distraction just see our posts on Facebook, or better call any of our beneficiaries, and all your problems will seem unimportant to you, compared with the problems of those to whom you opened your kind heart and helped in the most difficult moment of their lives.

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.

Unfortunately, problems of this and other families do not end here and now... Therefore, from time to time, look through the stories of unhappy people on our website, talk to them. Every time you dial the Phone of an unhappy person, God is blessing you! For sure! Go on helping these families! This is the best service to the Lord!

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.

Your kindness is a chance for yourself to be happy in everything!

Friends, thanks again to each of you!
