The kindest mom in the world!

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

  He is so handsome - handsome and kind! And so, so unfortunate!

"I am a grown man, but my mother looks after me like a baby."

  “I’m Zakaria. I am 31 years old. I realize that I am a grown man, but I need my mom, as in the first years of my life. I am disabled, no matter how rude this word sounds. Yes, I am like this. I've been half-human for 10 years now. If not for my mother, I probably would not have been able to move at all. She makes me live. She wakes me up in the morning to do my exercises. I have no idea where she gets so much energy. She says to me: "I can do anything for you, but I cannot do exercises instead of you." She has been enduring my bad temper for 10 years now. She endures all my failures. And my small victories are only her merit. The fact that I can stand, eat and speak on my own is all thanks to my mother. " 

"Mom won't let me die!"

  Mom became his legs when he wasn’t able to stand, she became his arms when he wasn’t able to dress, she became his eyes when he didn’t see. She gave him life and keeps giving it to him now...

Zakaria does not like to talk about his sores. “Mom, tell them everything yourself,” - he asks his mother. Recalling all that happened still hurts him. When a stroke took away his speech, ability to walk and move, he just wanted to die. His mother didn’t allow him to die. She held on to him and did not let her son give up.

His young wife was the first who became unable to stand it: she took their one-year-old daughter and left. He did not even hold her... Not everyone can watch how a healthy and strong man suddenly turned into a weak child. He realized that he could not give his wife everything he promised to give her when they married. He let her go.

Then his dad left him... He could not stand, watching his son’s suffering, and his heart stopped beating. His friends, who at first were by his side and swore allegiance to him, eventually disappeared too... “I celebrated my birthday alone. But my mother was with me all day,” - says Zakaria sadly and asks his mother to roll him out of the room.

"Zakaria is very worried that his mother has to look after him like a small child."

  - Maya, what happened to your son?

  Maya: Stroke. He was operated on - it was craniotomy. As it turned out later, he had problems with blood vessels in his head. He was 21 years old then. Can you imagine how he felt? He didn't want to live. As if nothing kept him here.

  - And what about his wife and child?

Maya: They got married when he was 19 years old. His wife was three years younger. They were too young... And three years later this tragedy happened. She couldn’t stand seeing her husband’s suffering and left one year later. I can understand her. She was young. And mom will never betray. Mom will always be by him. Zakaria worried a lot, but then he stopped.

  - Was his condition critical?

  Maya: Oh, he was almost completely paralyzed. He could not speak, move, eat. He couldn't even recognize me. This was the worst thing. I asked him a million times: “Who am I, who am I? Son, please recognize me...” We sold everything of value we had. We sold everything. All the money were spent on my son's rehabilitation: massages, exercises, psychological assistance. And when he started to show hope, when he got better, the money ran out.

“I don’t want to believe that my son will stay crippled forever just because we don’t have money,”

- What effect has rehabilitation brought to your son?

  Maya: He started to regain his memory, he began to move his hands, to stand up. But the most touching and unforgettable thing was when he said to me: “Mom, how can I not remember you?” And I realized that I would do my best not to stop these exercises. I'll do anything! But after my husband died, I lost all strength. He did not care about his health. It was very hard to lift our son and put him in a wheelchair. He tore his back, he started having heart problems because of constant stress. And then he developed peritonitis. He told no one that he was in pain, that he had a fever. And we lost him...

  - Maya, how do you manage to find strength within yourself after everything you had to go through?

  Maya: I cannot betray my son. I cannot leave him halfway to recovery. I know that he will be able to walk on his own - with crutches, with a stick, but he will be able to stand on his feet. We do exercises every day, every single day!

“Well done, son. I taught you to walk once, when you were one year old, and I will teach you again”

- Could you please tell me about your daily routine? What do you do in the morning, afternoon, evening?

  Maya: Zakaria wakes up at 10 o'clock. Then we dress and wash. Then we do exercises for an hour. It takes lots of energy from both me and my son. Then we have breakfast. He can do it alone in 20 minutes. He eats with his left hand because his right hand has not recovered yet. Then he goes to toilet. Then I put him in the wheelchair, give him a book, leave a bun and tea on the table for him. And I take my vacuum flask and rush to the marketplace to sell tea and coffee. At 8 o'clock I'm already at home. Sometimes I earn 5 GEL, sometimes 10, it depends. I bring medications and food. And then the evening routine starts: exercise for another hour, then having meals, going to the toilet and then going to bed. At 12 o'clock we are already asleep.

“Trust me baby. I managed to put you on your feet once, I can do that again"

  - And how does he cope alone when you are not at home?

  Maya: He reads a book or watches TV. If not very tired, he does exercises using simulators. His biggest dream is to take me in his arms. And I tell him that there is no need to take me in his arms, it’s better to dance at his wedding... We are joking, of course. We encourage each other.

“The hardest thing is to be alone with your thoughts. When my mother is not by me, it feels like I’m without air”

“Even watching TV without mom is not interesting. And when we are together, we can even look at it when it is turned off."

- Maya, why did you address the Chernovetskyi Fund?

  Maya: I have only one request. I need funds for my son’s rehabilitation. One day of full rehabilitation in the balneological center costs 150 GEL. Our pension and allowance will only be enough for three sessions. Can you imagine how absurd the situation is?

I won’t be able to even save that amount. And these procedures will improve his condition. Just imagine - procedures in sulfuric waters, professional rehabilitation therapists, masseurs, doctors. If he does the exercises at least every other day for 2-3 months, I'm sure my son will stand on his feet!

“This is the result of 15 procedures. Can you imagine what will happen in 2-3 months of intense exercises?"

  - Don't you need anything else besides rehabilitation? It’s cold at home. How do you heat here?

  Maya: Our only gas stove went out of order. We heat somehow... We can stand it now, but what will happen in winter - I do not know. We really need a gas heater.

Mom's warmth won't be enough to survive the harsh winter
