If I suddenly die, will you take care of my children?

- a heroic Georgian woman, who is seriously ill, asked me with hope in her eyes, and it seemed that she addressed the whole country, all the good people.

What will we answer? Let’s think about that, friends. What will we promise to a mother of these wonderful children? We are looking forward to your answers!

“I believe in miracles,” - Anna continues - “and the fact that you appeared in our life proves that, but I do not expect that I will be healed, although I believe that God will help us... I'm just not so scared now. You will take care of my children, won't you? " - Anna can’t hold back her tears and strains her kids to her heart.

The eyes of this young woman are full of melancholy and sadness, but she tries to switch the topic and shows me the gifts made to the Bakhturidze family by the friends of the Fund. “I have no words, just look at how the room has changed,” - Anna continues.

But I rather look not at the room that changed so much, but at the children, who are happy and well-fed for the first time in a long time, at their mother who is exhausted with poverty and illness, but who wants to live - you can read that in her eyes. And I understand that we are the last hope for these people!

What awaits these wonderful kids?!

Friends, the Fund really needs your help so that we can open European orphanages throughout Georgia, as we did before!

- Anna, how did your life change after our publication?

Anna: You know, due to my severe physical and moral condition, I already thought that nothing could bring me back to life and brighten up childhood for my children, who had seen little but poverty and hardships. But, as far as you see, one can hear children's laughter again at our home. Thanks to you, caring people, I am undergoing medical treatment, which I could not afford for many years - we barely managed even to get any food. Here is our new bed - large and comfortable, now everyone has a place to sleep! Well, the biggest joy for me as a housewife is the washing machine! Lately it has been especially difficult for me to wash with hands because I can't spend a long time standing - I start feeling dizziness. And you must change clothes of little ones several times a day - mothers know what hard work it is... Thanks to your gift, the laundry dries quickly, the clothes are clean, and the mother can have a rest. Thank you all for being by me at the most difficult time and thank you for helping me!

Now children have a place to sleep and have fun

Mom has real helpers

Little Veriko is the central figure of the Bakhturidze family.

- Anna, thank you for your warm words! What did you remember the most? Maybe you remember the names of those who helped you?

Anna: Probably, I will remember granny Naniko for the rest of my life. She learned about us from her granddaughter - she has been raising her alone since she was three years old These kind people, despite their financial difficulties, sent us homemade jams, pickles and buns for children. Students from Tbilisi came to visit us, they brought a lot of sweets. I am very grateful to everyone!

Not only mother liked the washing machine, but also baby Veriko

- Anna, was there any feedback from the local authorities? Maybe they helped you somehow?

Anna: The Municipality sent us sugar, butter, buckwheat, and flour. I am grateful to the local authorities and for this help, I understand that we are a poor country and there is no point in hoping for more.

It's been a long time since kids have seen so much delicious food.

- Anna, let's not talk about sad things! Did you expect to get such a support from strangers? What emotions did you experience?

Anna: Over the years, I have seen a lot, I got disappointed in very close people who left my family in trouble, therefore I stopped hoping, so that later I would not feel pain and hurt. But I heard so many amazing stories about your Fund and dreamed in my heart that I would become a character of such a story! This is just an indescribable feeling - I cannot convey in words what joy and gratitude your attention and love brought to me! I was touched by every kind word, because while I was surviving in these unbearable conditions, I got so out of the habit of simple communication between people, I forgot how secure you feel when someone cares about you and you do not need to beg again, humiliate yourself. Thanks to everyone!

- Anna, I’d like to talk to your children. Irma, did you like the gifts?

Irma (7-year-old): So much! The most important thing is that mom feels better now, she is in the mood to play with us! And they also brought us sweets, a lot of sweets and sausages! They are so delicious! Oh, we have some ice cream left, would you like to try it?

Until mom sees, you can eat another chocolate!

The older sister hid sweets for future

- Thank you, Irma, you are very kind girl! Andria, did you eat a lot of chocolate too?

Andria (4-year-old): Of course, I did, but I hid even more, otherwise I won't have anything for later. I divide sweets between my little sisters so that they get equally.

Andria, as the fairest brother, divides sweets between his sisters.

For the first time in a long time, the children are well fed and happy!

- Good boy! Anna, let us continue our conversation. Are there any problems left that our readers could help you to solve? What do you need the most?

Anna: You can see in what poverty we live - we will appreciate any help: Food, clothes, furniture. I will not ask anything for myself - most of all I feel sorry for my children. Andria asks me to buy him a bicycle, but I don’t have that money, and the girls have nothing to wear, they wear their older brother’s hand-me-downs, and so we live. Dear friends, even if you are not able to help us, but you were touched by our story, and I am still grateful for that!
Now I know for sure that if something bad happens to me, my children will not remain alone because such merciful people as you exist! God save you and your families!
