I have lost my health forever, and without you I would have lost my life!

REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY! 

“After nine surgeries, after my husband had both legs amputated piece by piece, I didn't think anything could bring him joy anymore," says Natela.

Natela: Teimuraz is always nervous, angry at his health, he scolds with me, everything irritates him. But you managed to find a way to his wounded heart, helped him forget about his daily torment for a while, gave him warmth.

When a stranger with bags of groceries in his hands appears at your doorstep early in the morning and says that he's on an urgent errand from his brother in Holland, that his brother in Amsterdam and he himself in Tbilisi are very concerned about Batoni Teimuraz, would you want to die after hearing that?! My Teimuraz changed before my eyes, smiled, and began to communicate warmly. 

Many of you provided us with such meaningful moral support! And as for our changed circumstances, let me address that separately...

- Kalbatono Natela, what are the names of these wonderful brothers? We would be happy to hear the surnames of other readers who came to help immediately.

Natela: The priest from Amsterdam is Giorgi Nikoladze, and his brother is Zaza Nikoladze. I wrote it down on a piece of paper here, so as not to forget - Elene Rizhava. She sent us a new wheelchair from the Netherlands. We received it quicker from across the border than from our own government, believe it or no! Even though Teimuraz is entitled to one as a disabled person. We'll unpack the wheelchair in the spring and try to take a walk down the street - it's too slushy and muddy now.

Our emigrant friends were very proactive; many of them called and donated from Italy. They talked to us on Viber and Skype, supporting us. May the Lord and the Mother of God watch over you while abroad; may Saint George and Saint Nina give you strength and protect you from illness and misfortune. When the time comes, return home safely and happily.

Alexander Dzhodzhishvili and Nugzar Kopadze - they are locals, from Khashuri. Ever since the project started, they've been coming to us every month. They gather funds among acquaintances, friends, and then bring us groceries. Thanks to them, we're trying things we haven't eaten in years and have already forgotten: chicken, sausage, semi-finished meat products... We've become so close! They treat us like family. We don't want to let go of warm-hearted people. We don't want to let any of you go now. You give us the feeling and belief that we're not alone.

Let me introduce you to a woman with a beautiful soul. Our Inga Beglarishvili. She came with a cake for New Year's, sat with us, noticed how cold it was, and the next time she brought a new wood stove. She also organized a fundraiser. What a wonderful gift! Finally, my husband and I warmed up.

- And how is Batoni Teimuraz feeling today? Will he talk to me?

Teimuraz: What did my wife say about me?  Am I really such a mean man because of the illness that I can't even talk to people? It's just our domestic disputes, everyday stuff... What I want to say is: there wasn't a single whole thing in our house, everything was old, broken. You could just load it onto the cart and throw it away. You got rid of our old stuff and gave us all new. 

Do you think it's just comfort that we never knew? No, it's a big moral support for me. My health is forever lost, but without you, I would have lost my life too. Because I lost heart and gave up on everything. You gave me strength! And even with such terrible problems like mine, a person can experience a second birth.

- It's great that you're feeling motivated again and open to communication!

Natela: Just the fact that he sleeps peacefully is already happiness! Our old iron beds had torn mesh and were patched up with wire. Headboard was from one bed, mesh from another, everything welded a hundred times... It was torture for a disabled person! Now we sleep like humans: We have new spacious beds, soft and warm. Mattresses, blankets - all brand new, pleasing to the eye and body.

As for Teimuraz, he's at home all day... What can keep him occupied? He used to get on my nerves and get angry again. You know what's good about television? After watching the news, he wants to scold so many people! So let him scold, and I'll get my work done in the meantime. He also watches Georgian and foreign movies. He has eyes for that, but I don't, I just listen to the sound. See, I tell him, what an advantage he has over me (smiles). 

"I bought our old wardrobe for 20 lari, it was used. It didn't have shelves - we nailed plywood. How many times it happened - bang, and they would fall off.  Now we have two new wardrobes, I took out all the clothes from the ottoman and bags and hung them  properly. 

"With the old wardrobe, all the shelves would fall, but the new one doesn't play tricks, everything hangs securely."

For our bath, you bought a new water heater. We no longer take contrast showers or, even worse, cold ones - this heater doesn't let us down.  One of the wheelchairs donated by readers, a second-hand one, was suitable for the bath. I bathe my husband on it...

- So, if it weren't for our readers, Batoni Teimuraz would have been left without a wheelchair. And what do the officials say, why don't they provide it?

Natela: I wrote the application, of course.  We're entitled to it 100%. I collected all the documents and sent them to the Ministry of Health. But getting it is not so simple. I call the hotline myself, worrying, getting nervous, but they don't rush, they're calm...

If it weren't for the readers, my husband would have been left without his regular diabetes medication.  Without them, he wouldn't survive. What they provide through the state program is only enough for three months. And how to stay alive then? Thank you for providing my husband with medication for diabetes, for the stomach, for thinning the blood for a year... 

Just as I pray for our family every evening, I remember and pray for you, asking for well-being, happiness, and health for you.  And I will remember and bless you until the end. We haven't saved up in our lifetime what you've accomplished during the project!

- Kalbatono Natela, what other assistance do you need that can't wait?

Natela: We still haven't fixed our leaking roof, the walls of the house are damp, I keep placing buckets here and there again. We asked you for building materials, and you delivered them immediately. But we didn't think about the beams, we were foolish.  And all the wood is rotten too, it needs to be replaced, the worker says. Could you please help us again, because we have neither the strength nor the means ourselves, we are lost...

The selfless love of his wife prolongs Teimuraz's life. Almost completely blind, Natela (one eye still sees at 2%) works day and night, caring for her sick husband. If it weren't for your help, everything would have ended tragically. These wonderful elderly man and woman, these sweet old folks, need assistance to survive. Let's relieve them of problems with the roof because each new day already demands courage from them.

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.

Our problems are nothing if compared... Here are true misfortunes, in front of your eyes! Just thank the Lord for what you have. You are the happiest person in the world! Remember this and help those in need.

Unfortunately, problems of this and other families do not end here and now... Therefore, from time to time, look through the stories of unhappy people on our website, talk to them. Every time you dial the Phone of an unhappy person, God is blessing you! For sure! Go on helping these families! This is the best service to the Lord!

Friends, there is one more request: if you know about the misfortune of a neighbor or friend do a godly deed, drop us an email at: office-fsp@fsp.ge

Your kindness is a chance for yourself to be happy!

Friends, thanks again to each of you!
