“They sent us the most delicious cookies!”

“Sandro! My dear! Look what cool gifts we have! I know, you will be happy. Well, you won’t be able to say anything, but your heart will beat faster when you see delicious yogurts,” says Giorgi to his brother. He is trying to hold all the goodies together in his hands and at the same time show them to his brother properly: “These are cookies, look. They are delicious, and there are enough for both of us. A lot for you, and a little for me." Then Giorgi firmly takes Sandro's hand and leads him to the new TV set. As he explained to me, he wants to teach his brother to turn it on and off using the remote control.

“Look, what a cool TV! You switch it on this way. It’s easy”

It’s a real holiday in the Grigolia's family. And there were you, true friends of our Fund, who gave them this holiday!

Sandro Grigolia is a 13-year-old boy. He was born with Down syndrome. As they say, he is a "sunny child" and he radiates warmth and love, like the sun. But he constantly needs warmth and love in return. His younger brother Giorgi tries to take care of him. The family is having a very hard time. They need the help and support of kind people like air.

 “It’s his favorite food. I feel how happy he is”

Our Fund published a post about the Grigolia family on March,11. Follow the link to read a sad story of Sandro and Giorgi.

Giorgi (12-year-old): I am happy indeed. I feel Sandro is happy too and I feel happy for that also. When I feed him with these yummies he comes to a good mood.

Giorgi: Sure! He can’t eat on his own. He’s like a baby. I must always take care of him. He is my brother! I love him very much!

Giorgi: A TV set. Sandro and I watch it together. I turn on Georgian songs. I love listening to songs! (Sings.) And Sandro loves too. At this time, he always smiles, and he also wants to sing. He just can't yet. But I believe that someday he will become able to.

“I will find Georgian songs and let you all listen”

Darejan (Sandro’s and Giorgi’s mom): We were also very happy about a new bed. The children slept on a broken one. I placed a chair under it so they wouldn't fall. It was impossible to fix it.

Giorgi: When I saw the new bed, I immediately shouted “Hurrah!” We will get rid of these barricades and sleep like real men!

Giorgi: Freely! You can roll here or there. You won't fall anyway. It’s cool!

Giorgi: “It’s also good that there are holidays now, because I’ll sleep so sweetly on this bed that I’ll be late to school”

Darejan: First of all, I want to thank the people who are friends with your Fund. They gave me back my faith and gave me hope. We really needed all these things, these foodstuffs, medications. But these are just things! They wear out over time. And the food will run out. But the main gift will remain forever!

Darejan: My faith in goodness and the hope that kind people will never let your children, my children - all our children starve. So, I want to tell everyone that this is not just help! It is not only about the fact that you brought someone a TV, someone a chest of drawers, and someone food. This is spiritual salvation. This is a helping hand that you can confidently take on! When there were no positive developmental changes in Sandriko, when the doctors told us not to come back until his adulthood, everything died in me, as if my heart had been taken out. The need and the thought that I could not even buy diapers for such a child were killing me. I lost any hope… More precisely, it was torn out of me along with my heart! And now, when I felt your support, I again heard the beating of my heart, and hope came to life along with it.

Darejan: All of them are dear to me. I want to say thank you to everyone.

Darejan: Yes, they promised to provide us with a one-time assistance. But most importantly, they enrolled me in the employment program for socially disadvantaged persons. Now I work as a janitor in a kindergarten. I have a job and I also keep getting the social allowance because it is a special program. It would be nice if my husband was also employed. He’s sick, but he still can work. If there only was job...

Giorgi: Mom, is there any job for me too? Maybe we can ask for some job for kids? I would help you and dad.

Giorgi: I will study and then I will work a lot to pamper Sandriko with delicious yogurts every day.
