I'll keep the second one for myself… It doesn't hurt… It's not fair that I can speak and hear. But she doesn't!"

We have nothing of our own. We sold everything we could sell to cure Tornike. We have been treating him for sixteen years.

"Dad died ... probably very soon, and we are behind him ..." - these words of the 12-year-old guy simply terrified us.

The girl is not a guy. And the face for the future mother and wife is almost the most important thing in life!

Nothing boded ill, but on one fateful day the baby fell ill, like all young children get sick ...

7-Year-old little Nini doesn’t think so. Because she will have a real birthday cake! Made of bread and jam!

“I want to be a soldier, like my daddy! - proudly declares Gabriel and drags me directly from the doorway to the portrait of his father. - You know, ma’am, my dad is a hero, he was at war, and, sure, I will become a hero too! - continues the little boy. - Now daddy is in the heaven.

Ma’am, don’t think they are bad, they just don’t understand that I am hungry too, and mommy has no money! And you? Where do you get money to buy these gifts? Doesn’t your belly rumble? - the girl asks me naively and goes on chattering. - What else can I do? I am already big. I should support mommy.

“I would never ask for anything!” - Little Mari (6-year-old) shouted She heard her name in a conversation between our correspondent and her mother Tamuna (38-year-old), who burst into tears after she had told us that her child did not have a doll. The little girl climbed on her mother’s knees to carefully wipe away the tears on her face with her tiny, doll-like, gentle hand.

“I have neither dolls nor sweets”, - with these words 4-year-old serious young lady Salome greets us. She sits down on her bed and looks at us with her sad eyes, where you can see the whole pain of the world, sadness and desperation of an adult person.
