How can anyone fall in love with a girl who does not have a beautiful dress? How can other girls be friends with her if she doesn't have toys of her own? If she lives in a house where little girls shouldn't live in?

These questions worry little Liza a lot. She wants to grow up faster. Maybe she thinks that adults don't care about such problems? Or maybe she thinks that, when she gets adult, she will be able to buy toys and dresses for herself?

Lizi (5-year-old): I'm 15 years old and I'll start working soon, you know? Mom says you can start working at 16!

Lizi: I managed to! I grow when I sleep! When I close my eyes and ask God to make me big!

“God, help me grow up faster so I can buy dresses for myself”

Barbare (7-year-old): Don't listen to her! She is little! She is only 5 years old! And it's good that she's little! Is it harder to be adult, right? What do you think?

Barbare: Look at my mom - she’s adult. Does she have beautiful dresses? Not of course. It hurts me, it breaks my heart!

Mommy does not have beautiful dresses and it breaks my heart.

Barbare: All girls dream about dresses! Mommy is a girl, right?

“All girls dream about dresses”

Nato: Oh, I have nothing in my head, except how to distribute the allowance so that the children do not go hungry. To have flour at home to bake bread! Here are all my dreams and wishes. We receive allowance once a month. We have to pay rent from there. We need two bags of flour, butter, sugar, buckwheat, and pasta. We do not even count on buying anything else. I always save money in case I need medications. And if we don't need them, we buy sweets.

“Hey, food, where are you?” 

Barbare: Yes! Candies! We love them! We do not quarrel over them - we share them equally. One for Ramaz, one for me, one for Anna, one for Liza and one for Tako! Five in total!

Barbare: They don't like it! They say: "Ugh, we won't eat it."

"We share everything equally"

Ramazi (9 years old): They love it very much, but they leave it for us. When I grow up, I'll try to earn a lot. And I will buy so many sweets so that everyone has enough!

Ramaz: Sculptor or football player. I'm good at both!

“Who do you think earns more: a football player or a sculptor?”

Nato: I am so ashamed in front of my children that I cannot give them everything that children of their age deserve. They calm me down, they say: "Do not Cry. So, what if others have it.” But I know what they feel. I was a child too!

Nato: Oh, I don't remember! It feels like I've been a mom all along. I met my future husband by chance, on the phone, when I was still a child. I was 15 and he was 30. It was such a pleasure to talk to an adult, he was such an interesting person to talk to. He always asked me how I study, he asked if anyone offended me, if everything was in order with me. I considered him my best friend. We haven't even met! When I turned 18, he asked me to meet with him. That's when I realized that he was a person I wanted to start a family with and give birth to his children. More than ten years have passed, and our love has remained the same! In my opinion, nothing is more important for a woman. Mamuka works as a handyman from morning to evening, he takes any job, just to bring an extra penny home. 

Nato: We never lived richly, but our children never went to bed hungry either. To be honest, the conditions where we lived were just terrible! We didn’t have our own house, so the state gave us a dilapidated wooden house, a small one, only 40 square meters big. But even there we managed to make two bedrooms and a kitchen with our own hands. We were happy to have something of our own. But one day after heavy rain, our house just started to fall apart. To decompose... It was flowing and blowing from everywhere. It became impossible to live there.

Ramaz: Do you know how scary it was to live there? Do you want me to show you something?

“The sun, wind and rain enter our house through the cracks”

 Nato: Yes, many times. We asked for help with home repairs, but they refused. Does it make any sense to apply again? They didn't even see how and where we live. In what conditions do five children live. That's why I addressed you. I know that you will at least support me with your kind words.

Nato: If we had normal living conditions, then everything would be just fine. I know that our dream of fixing our house is an unrealistic now. So, I will go down to earth and say that we really need a gas stove and a washing machine. Children also need to get prepared for school.

“Mom really needs a washing machine, and so do I. I help my mother, and it is very hard!”

Lizi: How can I go to school without a bag? I need a bag with wheels, because you need to carry heavy books and notebooks at school back and forth!

Ramaz: Barbare and I have one dream for two. We want a computer. We can't study without it.

Lizi: Then Tako and I also have one dream for two! I want a TV!

Tako (3-year-old): Hooray! TV! Cartoons! And bricks! And we'll have candy! Hooray!

Nato: You see, the children have nothing yet, but they are already rejoicing. They need so little to be happy. 

“We have one dream for all - to live like other children”

Here is another story about a Georgian family. About five wonderful children who dream at least for a while to live like other children. Dear friends, these wonderful people are in distress. Rather, they are on the verge of life and death. They really need our support!

Right now, they need to fix their little house. They need a washing machine, TV, gas stove, school supplies and a computer for study. There are five beautiful, talented, and well-mannered children in the family, and they need to be saved!

If anyone is willing to visit and help them in person, here is their address: Bagdati municipality, Tsitelkhevi village.

Every time you can help someone, just do it and rejoice that God answers someone's prayers through you!

We are sure that all together we will manage to save them from imminent death.
