Even when it’s hot, a chill creep over you from this dilapidated house. You hear moans and crying coming from there. Five people live in this unblessed house: four sisters and their common "child" - 29-year-old Giorgi. Well, they do not live there, but eke out a miserable existence. A sad fate befell all the inhabitants of this accursed house. They are alive and dead at the same time... 

There is not a single unbroken window in this house

The eldest sister Nunu is 61 years old, she got widowed while still very young, and she did not start a new family after that. Vardo, 59, has never been married. She took care of her parents and did all the housework. Two years ago, doctors amputated her leg because of gangrene, and now bedsores cover her entire body, and she dreams of dying soon, or at least getting some fresh air. Maya, 55, has a son, Giorgi, who has never seen his father. When Maya was young, a dishonorable guy vilely deceived and seduced her and left her when she got pregnant. So, she was left alone with her son, hoping only for her sisters.

“I don’t remember a single day when I was happy. How to be happy when your son feels bad?” 

Squint is the least problem 29-year-old Giorgi has. He has poor health, he does not hear well, sometimes he behaves strangely - he does not recognize either his mother or his neighbors. Sometimes he is afraid of people, sometimes he does not talk, sometimes he finds children's toys and plays with them.The youngest sister, 50-year-old Irma, is now a mother, a daughter, and a sister to everyone. She looks after them and tries not to give up! 

"Don't talk to me!"

Irma: I was so spoiled - I was the youngest child. My dad and mom adored me; my sisters played with me. I lived like a princess. I do not even know when our life started falling apart; I do not know when it took a turn for the worse. 

Vardo: After the death of our mother, dear. Mom died on June 26, 2008. She was the core of our family - she took care of everyone and everything. We were as safe as in God's pocket with her. But she got sick. She had to be operated on her intestines once, then for the second time. But she could not stand the third surgery anymore and died. Poor dad experienced very much - he approached her photograph every day and asked to take him away. And you won't believe it, he also died on June 26! Eight years later! That's how we lost both mom and dad and were left alone.

“I don’t know how we came to such life”

Irma: Everything collapsed, everything fell into decay, we didn’t even have a whole window in our house, not even a whole chair. It happened somehow - we did not notice how... We had everything, and then nothing got left.

Irma: We live on an allowance and pension. Once a day we bring food from the social canteen. It’s hard to us to cook food. Once, my sister and I went to the forest, picked up branches and dry pieces of wood, and carried them home. My sister said to me through tears: “We are like horses, carry so much firewood - we only lack a bridle in our mouth.” We laughed, and then sat down right on the ground and started to sob... Either from hopelessness, or from feeling sorry for ourselves. But we stood up, wiped away the tears and moved on. Frozen Vardo, Maya and Giorgi were waiting for us at home.

“Even with a broken arm, I have to take care of everyone”

Vardo: I have diabetes, apparently, gangrene began, but I did not pay attention to that. It hurt, but I endured, I knew that it was not up to the doctor. I didn't tell anyone, I didn't show it to anyone. When the pain became unbearable, I went to the doctor. But it was too late! They had to cut off my big toe. But the process didn't stop there. The rest of my toes started to fall off on their own... It was so painful and creepy - I don't even want to recall that! After one visit, the doctor told me to urgently go to Tbilisi - my leg had to be amputated. It would be better if they shot me...

“It would be better if they shot me.  I'm half-human without a leg"

Irma: Let doctors not be offended, but when you have no money, they do not consider you a person. I think if we were solvent, the doctors would pay attention to Vardo and maybe save her leg. The same situation happened with my hand.

Irma: I tripped on the floor. We have nothing whole here, even a floor has holes. I fell on my hand and broke it. The fracture was not open. I thought it would stop hurting soon. But the pain was unbearable. We went to the hospital, but they refused to take care of me until I paid 250 GEL. Where can the poor get that money? Our allowances and pensions are barely enough for medications and pasta. How could I pay 250 lari? Maybe you know how?

Irma: Can you imagine that? Then our neighbors intervened, they called them, and only after that they put a cast to my hand. I have been wearing cast for 2.5 months now. I need money again to check how the things are going and to take cast off. I am just wondering what will happen if I remove the cast myself? It's so hard for me to do everything with one hand. We have no water - we go to the river and wash there. It is so difficult to carry water from there for bathing and drinking. And we need to wash Vardo’s linen often. She doesn't get out of bed. It’s really hard to me.

"We are alone in the world, and we have no one but us"

Irma: Everyone has water, but we could not bring water to our home. When there is no man in the house, it is very difficult to cope with problems.

Irma: Our gas is off - our debt for it is huge. When dad was sick, he asked to make the house warmer. We turned on the heating. I don’t know how it happened, but they said that we owe 650 GEL! We will never be able to pay this amount. That why we just froze this winter. We lay down in bed and wrapped ourselves up, we even had nothing to cook on. 

"We don't know what happiness is"

Irma: It would be just great if you could help us buy sticks for measuring blood sugar and a cupboard for dishes. We have only one closet, where we store clothes, food, and utensils. Please help us with groceries and a refrigerator. And if we have water, I'll dare to dream about a washing machine. 

We were already leaving, when Irma said in an undertone: “Do you know what I dream about? To buy beautiful wallpaper with huge flowers and put them in at least one room to make us feel that we are still alive, that this is not hell, but just life. 

“It hurts to see these walls every day”
