"I have never been happy: I lived in poverty and die in poverty" 

“There is not a whole spot on me!” I suffered a heart attack three times, I had a stroke twice. Three times I was operated on my heart, four times - on my eyes. One of my eyes is good for nothing. The doctor said it withers - I'm waiting. And it hurts so much. The medications are expensive - I can not always buy them.

I also have diabetes - I have insulin shots four times a day.  I developed gangrene because of diabetes and my right leg toes were amputated. I can’t see normally, I can’t hear. Recently I was diagnosed with liver problems - my liver is getting damaged. I don’t know why I am still alive. I think I will get rotten away soon!”

“I live in a house without windows”

Eliso: I don’t know what to say. I already forgot when nothing hurt me or when I did not suffer. Here was an old house. My husband started to build a new one, but he did not manage to complete it - he died. I was left in an uncompleted house without windows and doors. I covered the openings with a blanket to somehow protect myself from the cold.

Eliso: If I tell you, someone may not believe. I got married late. I was 27 years old then. My husband was 23 years older than me. We were on the same bus, and he liked me. He found me and immediately asked to marry him. I agreed without hesitation. I thought I would forget all the troubles with an adult man, and I would be happy. 

My husband’s grown-up children met me at home. It was not easy to find a common ground with them, but we got along. We had a common daughter, and the brothers adored her. 

We lived in poverty. My husband worked, and I worked very hard too. There is not a single field in our village where I did not work. Besides that, I worked as a cleaner in kindergarten. I took up any work. God, why I am still surprised that I have so many sores?

“There is not a whole spot on me!”

Eliso: I haven't told you everything yet. A hard work is nothing! But, when everyone at home dies in a row, when misfortune chases you, it is terrible indeed. My father died thirty-three years ago. Mom cried every day and died exactly one year later. A few years later my stepson was killed... It was a nightmare for our entire family. My husband died at the grave of his son six months later. My daughter was diagnosed cancer at the age of 18 and they cut out all her female organs. They barely saved her... My second stepson died. I wonder how I am alive?

 Don't ask me. Many times, I was going to put my hands on myself, but I'm afraid of God! He does not like suicide.

"I would have put hands on myself, but God does not like suicide"

Eliso: My daughter, my old sister. My daughter is married, and she lives far from me - we see each other once a year when she comes. My sister has a dementia, and she gradually forgets everything. I call her and say: “I am Eliso, your sister. Do you remember me? She says she has no sister. Sometimes she calls me mother, sometimes - daughter. I talk to her and then I cry all day long. My eyes hurt from tears, and I cry stronger because of pain ... 

“The most uncomfortable bed in the world. All the bones hurt after sleeping on it"

Eliso: Your attention is a breath of fresh air for me. Look where I live - I have no door. I put a blanket instead of a door in winter. If you could install a door here, I would be happy. And there is no proper bed either. It sags when I lie down, and everything hurts me when I wake up in the morning. Do I need additional pain? I barely stand on my feet. I also need a lot of medications, I need food. I cannot afford all that with my pension. 

“I would not cope without your help”

Eliso: Take care of yourself and love your dear ones. Tell them everyday how much you love them. The next day may not come.

The situation of our compatriot Eliso Gorgadze is just terrible. She lived a hard life, she widowed early. She worked hard her entire life. And now the unfortunate woman ekes out a living, she lives in the cold and hunger, and can’t sleep at night because of fear. What if she will not wake up? What if she cannot get up? Her daughter is far away, she is also unhappy and sick. All her relatives lie in the ground. No one cares about her. There is no one to help her! We are her last hope! 

This poor woman needs any help, especially food, medications, a front door, and bed.

If anyone is willing to visit and help her in person, here is their address: Kaspi Municipality, village Zemo Khandaki.

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 her from imminent death.
