- 5-year-old Anano asks her mother plaintively and pulls her by the hem. “I am hungry too! Mommy, do we have any bread?" - echoes her younger brother Shotiko (3-year-old). "Wait a little, honey, maybe the neighbor will bring us something," - mother Gvantsa (29 years old) replies affectionately and strokes her kids’ hair. “The fridge is empty, I can’t calm them. I’ll have to ask the neighbors again,” the young woman explains us sadly, as if justifying herself. I turned away to hide my tears and confusion. “Lord, I will endure any torment, just not to see my children starving!” - the poor young woman cries bitterly. “We used somehow to make ends meet, but now we cannot find any work, and the transport does not work ... Sometimes the day goes by so that the children have only tea without sugar and bread!”

“I miss him very much ... I want to hug him and to play with him so much. He is cold there. And mommy and I are cold here ..." Little Tea misses her father. A healthy man, he suddenly died. He left his girls alone - his wife Lia and his 6-year-old daughter Tea. They are absolutely alone. And they have nothing... “That's how she talks about her dad all day long. Sits by his photograph, tells him how we are getting on. She was very attached to him. She loved him very much. She loved him even more than me. Father's daughter! It's very hard for me too. Can you imagine how it feels to lose a perfectly healthy man in a week? My world has turned upside down, the earth has disappeared beneath my feet. I don’t know what to do, how to live... I try to restrain myself, not to be too emotional. I know that he looks at us from heaven and helps us."

When I asked them: "Can you remember anything good?” - the girls just looked at each other and shrugged. They haven’t got a single bright memory in their life, though they are quite adults: Anna is 17 and Barbara is 16. They do not remember their mother, they can hardly remember their father, they only remember their grandmother. Old and sick ... She died in their arms. The only dear person. This is not a New Year's story, it will not make our hearts feel warm, and we cannot change the past of these sisters, but maybe we will be able to change their future ... Who knows, maybe miracles happen on Christmas Eve? The tragedy began when Anna’s and Barbara’s sister was born... Yes, you heard right. Their mother strangled the baby while feeding. “Probably by accident,” says Anna. “Maybe not,” adds Barbara. In 2006, their mother was sent to prison for 9 years. The girls have not seen her since.

“There is nothing more tasty than bread...” says Tinatin, a wonderful brown-eyed girl (5-year-old), clutching and kissing a loaf of bread given to her by her kind neighbors ... She is right, a loaf of bread is a festive dish in this dilapidated house, which is about to collapse and bury its unfortunate inhabitants alive ... Because, all their modest income is spent on medications... “I can't help buying medications. This means that the grandmother will die! - says mom Maya. - I cannot watch a person suffocating in front of my eyes!” Evil fate confronted this kind Georgian woman with a terrible choice: buy medications for a seriously ill old woman and leave her little daughter hungry, or buy food for the child and leave the old woman to fate... In the hope of the mercy of Lord and good people, the poor woman addressed our Fund. Because Georgians will never leave their neighbors in trouble.

"I do my best to survive!" - says 58-year-old Madonna. She's eking a meager living out... Cold, hunger and hellish pains torment the unfortunate woman and don't let her rest. The exhausted woman lives in a damp, cold tiny room 9 steps in length. It fits only one bed. Even we, experienced Fund employees, got horrified, when we entered her house - a tiny damp cold room, where she had to huddle.

“They run around the room and bite! They are so scary! They bit my sister!” - 4-year-old baby Elene starts complaining as soon as she sees us. - Baby, and what are these rats like? “Oh, they are so big, as a human! - the baby spreads her arms. - Like you! One rat was going to take my sister away and eat her... When mommy did not let it to take my sister away it started to scream so scary!"

Nata (12 years old): Sometimes I close my eyes tightly, put my hands together and pray quietly. I imagine I can walk, run, visit my friend by myself and we go to church together! What if ... I would paint myself without a wheelchair. Without these wheels! Doctors say that I won’t be able to walk. And what do you think? I believe - God will hear me! Doesn’t he help kind little girls?

"My God, what a horror!" - is the first thought that crossed my mind when we saw this dwelling. A child lives among graves! You get stunned by the grief and despair you see! The gases from constantly decaying corpses can cause terrible diseases ... Lord, do not leave these unfortunate people! “I'm afraid to open my eyes, there are only crosses and graves around ... Every day I ask the Lord only one thing: I want to live among the living and find friends ... I believe that you are the answer to my prayers! " - says Mariam with hope in her voice and her frightened little heart beating very fast.

3-year-old Tamar greets us with these words, not understanding why all this is happening ... She is still too little to realize in what terrible conditions she lives. She is afraid that the house, or rather what she calls her house, may collapse at any moment and bury the people living there alive ...

God forbid anyone, to experience every day of God that this unfortunate kind old woman is the mother of Ira Khergiani.
