“How to explain to mom without words that you are thirsty? How to say that you are hungry? That your head aches? That you want hugs? I can only say "woo". Will mom understand? And won’t mom be offended that I often say “woo”?

When the unfortunate mother addressed our Fund, we immediately realized that this family simply could not survive without our help. Meet my friends: this is Khatuna and her long-suffering son Nika.

Khatuna: There are four of us in the family: me, my husband, Nika and Megi. Our two older children, Mariam and Kakha, already have families of their own. And eleven years ago, a real tragedy happened in our family. Our son Nika died at the age of 14 in an accident. He was playing with his friends near the transformer, and he got electrocuted.

Nick always lives in the hearts of his parents

Khatuna: How? In no way! I just live! After that we had Megi, and one year later Nika was born. We named him after his deceased older brother! Children brought a ray of light into our lives. Everyone got focused on babies. But as soon as our life sparkled with new colors, Nika became ill. Something went wrong during childbirth: Nika's heart stopped, he stopped breathing. They placed him in a special capsule. We stayed in hospital for three months, but it did not help. Nika was so weak, he squeaked like a kitten. He didn't even have the strength to cry. Apparently, because of a lack of oxygen, fluid started to collect in his head. At the age of five, he can neither talk nor eat on his own. He has one toy with which he does not part. He hugs it and “talks” to it, as if he is talking about his problems.

Khatuna: I noticed that some movements were difficult for Nika. When Nika was seven months old, I sounded the alarm, and he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I know it's incurable. But surgical interventions and procedures can stop the disease so that it does not develop. His condition is hard. His body got gradually deformed. He was operated on the ligaments of his legs and arms for several times. He can at least move now. We even were planning to send him to kindergarten, but the teachers do not want to take on such responsibility. He has a tube in his head through which fluid comes out. God forbid that some child accidentally hits him or hurts him. He is under close supervision at home.

Only a mother understands how much it hurts her boy when he cannot explain what he wants.

Khatuna: It's really hard for me to talk about that, but I want to share my pain. I don't wish this on my enemy. I wish all mothers in the world that their children are healthy! This is the greatest happiness!

Khatuna: I'm not the first and I won't be the last... Unfortunately, there are a lot of mothers like me. Never give up! Fight for your child's life to the end! Who if not we?! This is our destiny, and we must bear this cross with dignity.

"Nika, we love you and we won't let anyone hurt you"

Khatuna: I'll tell you straight. We sold everything of value we had at home for Nika's treatment. We started with large things, then moved on to furniture. We even sold the TV set, our son's only consolation, to buy medications for him. He was operated on his ligaments two years ago, and I still did not manage to pay off. We have a debt of 1200 lari. Because of this, I can’t take him to the hospital for a routine examination. And it is just impossible for our family to raise such an amount. 

Khatuna: They only give us 200 GEL allowance. They assigned very high score to us. When I went to write a complaint, the social worker said bluntly: “Your son is sick, you get a pension for him. What else do you want?" Even if they are right and I am not entitled to any allowance other than a pension, is this the way one could speak to the mother of a seriously ill child? Not everyone has nerves of steel. I couldn't even utter a word. It would be better if she chopped me up with an ax. I keep thinking, they probably hire such soulless people for this position on purpose. I suppose you can give even a negative answer so as not to hurt the feelings of a person who is already suffering. Oh, sorry, I talk too much.

“One step for mom, one step for dad. I know it hurts you, but you can handle it."

Khatuna: My husband and older children support me. Not financially, of course, but even their words that we will cope all together and stand up for Nika - mean a lot. My husband can't find a job in any way, so he stays with Nika all the time, and I work in a social canteen as a cook. I get a salary of 330 GEL, which is also a big deal. And my work schedule is good. I work from morning to three in the afternoon. Then I can stay with the children.

Khatuna: We were so young when we started our family. We adore each other. Nobody in our house ever raised their voice. Even our children never argued among themselves. This is not a family, but a fairy tale! Our eldest son is now 27 years old, and our daughter is 20. But when our middle son died, I buried all my dreams and hopes with him. Then God gave me Megi and Nika! But, perhaps, everything in life cannot be perfect. 

Dad built walkers for his son so that his leg muscles would not atrophy.

Khatuna: We really need diapers, medications, walkers, and a fridge. I will be very happy if you support us. And, if possible, help us pay off the debt at the clinic so that I can take him to the examination.
