I am not scared anymore! Kind she-bear guard me and sleeps with me!

“I used to be dull, so dull” - 6-year-old Tiniko says slyly and flirts.” – And now look at me: do you see how smiley I am?” And she smiles wide with her red bow lips... It even seemed to me that the room became brighter.

“Mommy says that the Sun shines brighter when I smile. And granny says that my eyes smile too. These adults are so funny! How do they come up with such things!?"

Think over Tiniko's words, friends! As wise people say - truth comes out of the mouths of babes! As soon as we entered the house, we noticed these changes too. We really noticed them! Only six months have passed, and this is what happened - just look at these photos to compare.

What do you think? Does the Sun shine brighter? Has your soul gotten warmer? Yes, this is the same girl - 6-year-old Tiniko! The girl had no toys, she painted them on the wall and talked to them. And now she has a huge bear that plays with her, helps her to learn lessons, and the bear is by her even when the baby falls asleep! He guards the soul of the Angel! All children in the world, every one of them are Angels of God!

However, there is one problem: Tiniko says that she cannot hug her favorite bear. It is so big! And for some reason she calls him “she-bear”

Well, let this big plush toy be she-bear. Although they called it “bear” in a store. But do the sellers understand anything about childhood fantasy?! Moreover, of the little one who saw toys only from her friends...

Stop! People! Can you realize what have you done? Did you help one more family? No! You came closer to our Lord! You have done what He asked you to do!

“Now I can receive guests like a real Georgian! - Maya smiles. - it used to be a shame! There was no place to sit people. The Lord sees everything and rewards people for good deeds. I ask Him to grant health and well-being to everyone who helped us, who decided to be by us."

- You met some of our readers in person, right?

Maya: How nice it turns out to be in the spotlight, to get so much warmth! Almost immediately people started calling and coming to visit us. You just published the post on your Facebook page, and someone immediately called me. I thought: “Is it already?” At first, I was at a loss, but then I pulled myself together and told them my address. Irma Zakaraya from Tskaltubo came to visit us on Christmas. She is a very sweet woman. We made friends with her. We often call each other and talk.

Tiniko: Do you know what Irma had in her bag?

- I’d like to know. So?

Tiniko: There were Elsa’s trainers and princess dress. I will put it on and come back!

- I am waiting for you!

Maya: My daughter often asked me for that and finally she got that. You have no idea what she went through that day. She barely fell asleep because of joyful excitement.

On Tiniko's birthday, February 27, employees of one NGO came to visit us and brought a gift and sweets to congratulate her. They were the ones who brought her a teddy bear. By the way, this NGO helped us a lot.

(The she-bear at its post. Now Tiniko will never be afraid to sleep alone!)

Tiniko: Did you see my computer! None of my friends has a computer like that! Now they will know how much does the whole Georgia love me! They gave themselves airs because I was poor. (The baby keeps chatting.)

Maya: They saw your post, got interested in our family and while visiting us for the first time they gave us a 100 GEL worth food voucher. Then they addressed the town hall to remind them once again about the state of the house of the Asatiani family. That water flowed in all rooms. I would say that the joint efforts brought the result. The first was your post, then people took up our case. As the result the town hall allocated 1000 GEL to us.

- It’s good!

Maya: We purchased 27 tin sheets. But this will be enough only for half of the roof. We did not start the repairs yet. We need 1500 GEL more to cap the whole roof.

- Why did they stop on a half-way? Did you show them the calculations?

Maya: Mrs. Darejan Mikutadze from the NGO communicates with the town hall. Probably they will allocate the rest of the amount too.

(Tiniko comes to the middle of the room)

Tiniko: Here is my princess dress.

- It suits you so well! Do you know why? Because you are a princess, and it is exactly for you!

(Tiniko happily smiles)

Tiniko: The trainers are blue and there are cartoon characters on them. (She bends down, points with her finger.) I have new books too. Fairy tales.

- Do you just listen, or do you read yourself?

Tiniko: I can tell you those which my mother read to me. I know how the word "wolf" is spelled.

- I see, you know a lot.

(Tiniko smiles.)

Maya: I teach my daughter, prepare her for school. She will become a schoolgirl this September. But alas, the only one in the class. There are almost no children in our village. Just seven kids in the whole school. People left - there are many abandoned houses in the village. There are only 60 of us living in the village.

We have school wifi, and Tiniko can use her new computer. She learned to count to ten in English, it is very convenient to study mathematics. Shortly, it turned to be very useful present. Besides that, there are my daughter’s favorite cartoons stored in the computer: “Peppa Pig”, “Emily”, “Mickey Mouse”. I’d like to express my gratitude to the employees of the Fund for their advertency and attentive attitude.

- Maya, although we are pleased, but please, don’t thank us. It was the friends of our Fund who did that. There are 30 thousand of them all over Georgia! They are mostly not very rich people. They are messengers of God!

Tiniko: One day uncle Zura came and brought me colored jellies.

Maya: Tiniko recalls our guests now. I had no chance to finish the story. I don’t remember surnames, but Zura came from Tbilisi. We still have supplies left from what he has brought us: buckwheat, sugar. He brought us a lot of stuff; I was even surprised how he managed to bring it all by a minibus. A bag of wheat flour, five liters of vegetable oil, lobio, pasta, clarified butter, two chickens, cookies, sweets. The child did not know which candy to start with. If any of the neighbors came to visit us at that time, she boasted: “Look, how many sweets I have!”

I would also like to mention Aleko Asatiani. He came to visit us on Christmas after Church service and handed us gifts.

Many thanks to all of you - both to those who came to visit me personally and those who helped at a distance! You gave me strength and brought me back motivation to be active, to struggle for better life. We were lost for a while because of problems. But we must rise, we must do that...

- Have you got a plan?

Maya: I really want to earn enough money to buy cow, so that I could keep my family. I used to make cheese and sell it. Everyone knew I had a delicious cheese. But then my cow and calf died. I want my daughter to have everything what I was not lucky enough to see. I really want to create normal conditions for my child.

Poverty drains the soul. Now my girl sees what a normal house should be like - with refrigerator, washing machine, furniture. Do you like our sofa? It is nice, isn’t it? We bought it in Gorgia store in Kutaisi. I am sociable, I have always loved guests. But I was embarrassed to invite them to my place. We had no chairs at home. I am not embarrassed anymore. What interested my daughter - is a washing machine.

Tiniko: It has its own smell, I checked it.

- How did you check it?

Tiniko: The same day when they brought it. I just opened the window in the middle and sniffed. It smelled like a new.

- And now?

Tiniko: Now it smells like a detergent.

- What a curious girl you are!

Tiniko: When it finishes to wash it starts blinking with its eyes. It says: “Switch me off!”

- Little curious nose!

Tiniko: Ma’am, I want to know everything in advance. When I become a big girl, I will be able to do everything.

Maya (smiling): She argues with me why I don't assign her more work around the house. She looks after her grandmother like a real nurse. She brings her water, gives her medications on a schedule, washes her feet.

- Good girl! How does grandmother Gogona feel? Maybe she needs medications?

Maya: Her condition is not stable, it changes all the time. She is okay right now, but the next moment she can get bad. You helped us a lot with medications. We never used to buy Cardiomagnyl for more than ten days. Thanks to the Fund, we din’t have to worry about this for two months. Our grandmother takes medications permanently: Cardiomagnyl, Corsiz, painkillers for a headache, diuretics. She needs them all the time. It is still very cold in our house. Even now, when summer is coming, we stoke the stove so that our grandmother does not catch a cold.

- So, the half-paid roof remains to be the problem?

Maya: Yes, we are on hold.
