Asking for help and believing that God will help you through the complete strangers is a real miracle. The Martashvili family could not even imagine that hundreds of people would stand next to them.

There was a time when the Martashvili family lived in their own beautiful house, and siblings did not have to share one candy. They lived and helped others.

Gulnazi: I swear to you: I have run out of any hope that someone would support our family. How would I believe? My uncle burned down our house, the authorities turned away from us, and the damage, estimated at 100,000 lari, was placed at 4,800 lari. Only you supported me, only from you I felt attention and sympathy for my pain. We are trying to start a new life. With your help, we already have the necessary household items, and we feel more relaxed and comfortable. As if the void is being filled, and there is a desire to make tomorrow better.

“First I choose what we will watch, then you”

Gulnazi: Most of all I remember the person who brought me a mattress and a plaid for children. To be honest, I did not expect anyone to come to our ashed ruins. I was happy to receive a guest who came to our house if it can still be called a house. Actually, I want to thank each of you for your help. If not for you, I would just give up. You gave our family strength and hope for tomorrow. God bless you!

“Mom, will you let me to switch it on sometimes?”

Gulnazi: There was no reaction on their part either before the publication of the post or after. We addressed them before as well, but you know their answer. It was like - rebuild your burnt-down house for 4,800 Lari, buy furniture, and start your life from the scratch with this money. This is just a mockery. Will I live up to the time when the authorities really help the poor without sparing their strengths and will do everything what is needed?

Gulnazi: Uhh, my dear ... It turns out that one of the most important moments of your life comes exactly when you are left alone. Then you begin to appreciate everyone in your life. No one in my life, except for my family and a couple of people, showed such support that the friends of your Fund showed us when they learned about our pain and loneliness. Do you remember a burnt, dilapidated and completely empty house? I could not believe that my life would go on. How would it be possible? These words haunted me all the time. Your Fund gave me an impetus to start getting out of this hell...

It turns out that the way out of any situation begins with hope. You were the first spark of hope for help, and that is exactly what happened. My hopes came true. It is with your help that we started to exist. When you brought us a refrigerator, a washing machine, a TV, and an electric oven, then for the first time in my life I felt that I should not give up and that life goes on.

From this day on, I fight the best I can. I struggle every day not to fall and keep moving forward. This help means the beginning of a new life for me. Thank you is the least I can say to you. I know God will bless everyone who showed compassion and supported my family!

“Mommy, make a pie for us”

Irodi (11-year-old): Me and Nini were most happy about the oven. Mom bakes us bread, and our tummies no longer growl. Once she made an apple pie, and that was the happiest day for us. My sister and I love sweets and cakes very much, but we don't have money to buy them. So, mom made us happy and made a cake.  Mom gave it to us little by little so that it would not end immediately, but we could not resist and, as soon as it got dark, we crept up and ate it whole.

Nini (5-year-old): I like TV and I like watching Basti Bubu. Mom turns it on for me, and I dance all the time. Do you have a princess dress?

Nini: Yes, I really want it! When I grow up, I will put it on going to school so that everyone will love me. I don't want to go to school wearing torn clothes like my brother does.

Nino: Okay, I'll believe you this time. Because, when you told me that you would bring us a lot of delicious food, I did not believe that! But look how many sweets you brought us!

Gulnazi: Eh, my dear, you're right. Life goes on, and we must somehow keep up with the pace of life. I don't have any means to go forward. The entire social allowance and income goes to cover bank debt. We even sold our car to at least plaster one room. Our house is in a terrible state. We are scared of the upcoming winter. Every day we worry and think how to find a way out. Even feeding our children costs us a lot of effort. They have no clothes, no shoes, not even notebooks and pens. I don't even know where to start listing.

The most important thing for our family now is to have a safe place to live so that rain or snow does not fall on us in winter. We need building materials for the basic repair works: plaster, cement, drywall. If you help us with materials for the renovation of our house, our entire family will be immensely grateful to you.

Children have never seen so many sweets at once

***

 Good people, winter is coming, and it will become cold soon. This family has neither a roof over their heads nor proper living conditions, not to mention heating. Children miss sweets. They don't have clothes, so the eldest son can't go to school. They again hope for your help. This good work has already begun. We hope that you will not leave them in the middle of the journey and let the spark of hope go out, but, on the contrary, let it flare up and help the parents raise two more Georgian children.

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 helped in the most difficult moment of their lives.
