Scar on a girl's body is a real tragedy for a future mother!
REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY!
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!
Nobody believed that she would survive... Even the doctors who had seen a lot of burns. She had skin grafts twice. A piece of skin was cut out from her leg to restore her foot.
“The first thing I thought when I saw her mangled foot was - if only her older brothers were in her place, it will be a nightmare for my poor girl to live her entire life with such defect. Because she will not be able to wear beautiful dresses, she will not be able to get married and have a happy family and children,” - her mother Lela laments.
And there is so much pain in her words, so much sorrow. Because she has no answer to the questions that little Nini has: “Will I be a beautiful girl? Will they want to be friends with me? Will you love me anyway, mom? Even when I’m so scary? Will I have children?"
"Everyone points the finger at her - like this"
Nini spent three months laying, she was not allowed to even get up and go to the toilet. More than six months have passed, but the baby still keeps having pains. Her every moan is like a knife in the heart of her poor mother. She is not able to buy expensive ointments. When the daughter’s skin cracks and bleeds, mom buys the cheapest hand cream instead of bread and puts it on her daughter's wound.
- Lela, I can't even imagine how it was to get through such a tragedy...
Lela: Was it me to get through? When I close my eyes I still see how my daughter’s skin slough off. How they took off the melted shoes from her feet along with her flesh... It's just a nightmare. Now I know: you should never say that “I can’t bear it, I won’t survive it” - a human can survive everything! Our life never used to be easy, but now it became unbearable. If I won’t be able to bring her skin back to normal state, would I have the right to be called a mother?
Lela: The children were playing in the yard, they found gasoline somewhere, poured it on the rug and set it on fire. Nini thought that Gaby was sitting on this rug and ran to save him... And, apparently, she stepped on the gasoline, and the fire spread to her... I still hear her cry “Mom, save me, I’m dying”. I was at home, feeding little Lizi. When I went out to the balcony and saw Nini, I fainted!
- What do the doctors say? Is it possible to restore her skin?
Lela: They say it is possible, but not right now. Time should pass. But the operation is very expensive, about twelve thousand GEL. Wish I had an opportunity like this. But I am ready to sell my kidney, to sacrifice myself, if only my daughter had a normal future. She is a girl, and you know that beauty is important for a girl. She is worried so much... She thinks that no one will want to communicate with her because of this. I have no idea where to seek for help, I beg everyone standing on my knees - please help me to cure my daughter!
- Lela, our Fund and friends of the Fund will not leave your beautiful daughter without attention. We will track her condition, and as soon as she can have an operation, we will be with you! Now tell us about the rest of your children.
Lela: I have six of them. The older boys - Giorgi and Mikhail - are the men of the family. They are 17 and 15 years old. They work after school. They help the neighbors: they chop wood, bring in water, they clean up the yard. They are given either money or just food for their work. They bring everything home. They often remained hungry, but they brought food for the little ones.
- You wrote us that your only income is the social allowance. How do you manage to survive?
Lela: Yes, I wrote to you and cried... out of despair. I don’t know how I manage to not let my children starve to death.
Probably, all socially disadvantaged single mothers are magicians for a little bit. Calculate for yourself: the allowance is 560 GEL; I pay 200 GEL for the rent of this apartment. (I never had anything of mine.) I pay about 100 GEL for electricity and gas. What should I do when my kids are freezing? If one of them gets sick, I simply won't be able to buy medications. Do you think the pharmacy will give me medications on credit? Of course not. Nini needs ointments, which are very expensive, and I can't even buy them, although this is a must to restore her skin!
So, you need to figure out how to keep your children for 250 GEL per month. The elders only eat bread. Saba is seven years old and goes to school. So many times, he came up to me, looked into my eyes and asked: “Mom, do you definitely have no money for at least one candy?” - and I had nothing to answer. He understands, lowers his head and walks away.
“Mom never has money for candy. I eat bread, but I imagine that this is a cake."
Lela: Nini and Gaby go to the kindergarten. Nini is five years old, Gabriel is three. At least they eat there. Today I put wet clothes on them and let them go like that. We have no washing machine, and there is only one pair of clothes. It does not have time to get dry... And if they don’t go to the kindergarten, they will remain hungry that day. But I can't let them go there in dirty clothes. Since we are poor, this does not mean that we should be dirty.
- I don’t even dare to ask you, what this money is enough for?
Lela: The elder ones only eat bread. If the neighbors bring us food, we'll have a feast! There is a banquet hall nearby, if after a commemoration or a wedding there are some leftovers, the owner of the hall brings them to us. I freeze the meat broth and cook soups for children several times. If there is a lot of bread, I also freeze it and then heat it... This is how we live. One can say that my children grew up on leftovers.
“This shoe is leaking, this one has no sole, this one has a torn toe. There is no pair of the same shoes that are not torn."
- Have you addressed the local authorities for help?
Lela: Many times! But, you know, I have never felt so insulted and humiliated. They don't reckon we're people at all. They even rebuked me number of times: “Why did you give birth to them if they are starving now? Did you give them birth for us, didn’t you?" How can I communicate with them after that? They start whining, saying there is no money, saying that money for helping people like us is not included in the budget. That their salary is less than my allowance... Since we are beggars, this does not mean that we don’t have self-respect. I always tell my children that it is better to starve to death but remain human. Boys are of such an age that they can have their eye on what doesn't belong to them. To take it without asking... You know what I mean.
“Mom says carrots are healthy. But I don’t really like them - I’m not a rabbit”
- I see. You are afraid of them heading down a bad path.
Lela: Yes. When they see that their one-year-old sister is crying all day long from hunger, and their mother cannot buy her milk or porridge, how can they not think about stealing something from someone?
It turns out that my state itself pushes people like us to crime... I tell them that if they even dare to think about this, I will kill first them and then myself... My children are very good people, and I ask God to protect them from such thoughts.
"Old plastic matsoni cups are the only joy for children"
- Lela, how can we help you so that you catch your breath a little?
Lela: First of all, if you help me to get us through the winter so that we have food, if you can give me a washing machine and clothes for children, I would be just happy!
“My brother brought us bread. I will do my best to not eat all at once"
- And what will the children say? What do they need the most?
Saba (7-year-old): I will become Batman. I'll have a bike and sweets!
"We will have such a big house"
Nini (5-year-old): A doll. And matsoni for Lizi. She can’t eat anything else.
Saba: And a car for Gabi...
“I want these tomatoes to turn into sweets!”
***
Dear friends, six children, six God's creations are waiting for our help: one-year-old Lizi, 3-year-old Gabriel, 5-year-old Nini, 7-year-old Saba, and their older brothers Misha and Giorgi. They have nothing to eat. They have nothing to put on. They will not be able to survive the winter without our support, without our participation!
Every time you can help someone, just do it and rejoice that God answers someone's prayers through you!
Let’s show our mercy and make the children believe that miracles happen! They believe in us. Do not let our little compatriots down. Show them what generous people live in Georgia
They really need food, hygiene products, diapers, clothes, a washing machine and a closet. But the most important thing is that they just need your attention and kind heart! Let’s help them, let’s show them our mercy, let’s give their children a chance to live normally. Let each of us imagine that these could be our children who are permanently short of food.
You can visit Lela and her wonderful children yourself and help them. Their address is: Sagarejo, 8 Satave Str.
We are sure that all together we will manage to change their life.
