Lika (6-year-old): Mom hugs me very tight in the morning to keep me warm. Then we have tea. Then mommy leaves me with a neighbor, and she goes “tormenting” the cow. - What do you mean - “tormenting“? Lika: Well, how to say... Well, so that she gives milk. Milking... Can you do that?? My mommy can! She is something! But I don't know yet how many cows she has to milk so that I can go to the dancing classes. I still can't count to that much. (Little Lika talks and gently strokes her mother on the cheek.) I never want candy. I never ask my mother to buy it... But sometimes she brings them to me herself. But I never ask. It’s true!

When 5-year-old Nini lit up like a torch, her mother lost consciousness with fear and fell down the stairs. Neighbors extinguished the fire on the girl and took off her burning clothes along with her skin... The emergency brigade from the city came four hours later, it was four hours of real hell! The screams and sobs of the baby reached the neighboring villages, and the lamentations of the mother - right up to heaven!

“My sister and I waited so much for the birth of our brother, we even came up with a name for him, so we wanted to babysit him, play with him ... we thought he would be our protector ... but he is so helpless, so sick ... he can’t do anything himself,” says 11-year-old Anna. She and her older sister - 13-year-old Mari - became not only sisters for 5-year-old Luka, but also mothers! Sometimes they look after their brother even better than their mother does! The boy cannot do anything by himself, he cannot even ask for water.

Do you know what hell is? It’s when it hurts but you have no money to buy a painkiller, when you are hungry, but there is no food, when you are thirsty but there is no one to give you water! This is hell! And also the understanding that nothing will ever change... Life will never become better for Khatuna Gvenetadze! She is holding on with her last strength.

“I always behave well. I obey mom, and dad, and I do not offend dear God, but I have nothing. Mom says that we will be fine. I’ll have sweets and toys, but when, she does not know ... Do you know? Good children are supposed to have sweets,” baby Mariam babbles and looks intently into my eyes, as if into my soul! She looks at me in such a way as if the fate of her whole family depends on my answer.

Five hungry children live here in these post-war-looking ruins, dreaming of warmth and food ... The rooms are so cold that you can’t take off your jacket. But winter is still ahead!

"I worked all my life, fighting for survival... This accursed disease broke me, deprived me of the opportunity to earn the bread for the day" sighs Lela, 51. At the age of 43, when the poor woman worked at a construction site, a large board fell on her head. Soon she had a stroke... Lela was left speechless for a long time. As a result, she is disabled, changing rented apartments, living in terrible conditions, suffering from loneliness, hunger, cold ... And she has absolutely no one to ask for help.

"I am ready to endure everything, if only the breath of my daughter did not stop"
