"Mommy, help me! Mommy, I'm dying! - Eka whispers through her teeth - she is no longer even able to scream... - I'm already dead, mom, am I in hell? Oh God, why does it hurt so much?" The poor girl bites her lip to the blood, squeezes her mother's hand tight, and her eyes rain tears.

“I can see with only one eye, but my parents and sisters cannot see at all, my brother also sees,” - 11-year-old Salome tells us. – “You know, I tell them what the weather is like today, how the trees are blooming, I tell them that Mariam draws very beautifully. That Giorgi has very kind and beautiful eyes. That Keti smiles like a princess. Mom says we have just one eye for five of us”. Mother Maya and father Zura are blind - they can’t see anything. They have not seen how their children grew up and changed, they can’t even imagine how beautiful they are! They know them only by touch and they feel their love. People who can see will never understand how it feels. We can feel someone else's pain because we all once experienced it, we can empathize with someone who has lost a loved one because we also lost our loved ones, but how can a sighted person understand a blind person? Probably, it’s almost impossible.

Jambul: “I always have blood on my hands, and when I squeeze my fingers it hurts so much... But the worst thing is not even a blood, but that I suffocate during attacks. I am very scared, and my mother gets scared as well! And besides that, I have constant terrible itching! " “It makes him suffer so much!” - suddenly his compassionate mother intervenes. “Why should the child suffer so much?! Who has sinned so in our family? God help us! I would prefer to suffer myself instead of him..." “Sores do not heal for a long time. Sometimes you can’t find the ointment that helps. Sometimes you can... My hands itch very much in the evening and at night, they do not let me fall asleep... Sometimes I can’t even breathe because of the pain. Doctors say I have fungi in my blood... I don't even know how they got there..."

“For a split second, I even thought that I had lost my son forever! - says Rusudan and cuddles her son close. - In the evening before going to bed, I heard a terrible thud. I thought the children were playing in the yard, but it turned out that Saba had fallen from the chair.” Mom cannot remember these moments without tearing up, because on that day she stared death in the face and refused to let it take her son away!

“My sister and I waited so much for the birth of our brother, we even came up with a name for him, so we wanted to babysit him, play with him ... we thought he would be our protector ... but he is so helpless, so sick ... he can’t do anything himself,” says 11-year-old Anna. She and her older sister - 13-year-old Mari - became not only sisters for 5-year-old Luka, but also mothers! Sometimes they look after their brother even better than their mother does! The boy cannot do anything by himself, he cannot even ask for water.

- Says a beautiful wheelchair-bound girl who dreams of becoming a model. “I can watch the models walking the catwalk for hours. They are so lucky that they can walk ... I also want that, really want. Have you seen how people clap for them, how they film them from all sides? Beautiful! Sometimes I think that I will certainly learn to walk, and sometimes I look at this... this... wheelchair and feel very sad. What if I will have to live on wheels my whole life?”

“Mom, why are they looking at me like that? It’s because I'm not like others?" These words hurt me more than a machine gun fire. These words kill me. “He is not long for this world, - the doctors said 10 years ago, when Giorgi was born. - Be prepared for the worst!” But his mother Tinatin refused to believe that. Giorgi spent 35 days in intensive care unit... For 35 days his mother asked God not to take her son away from her. God heard her - Giorgi stayed with his mother, and a lifelong struggle began! "The most difficult thing in raising a special child are the "good advices” of complete strangers and the gazes of bystanders who feel sorry for either you, or the child, or themselves, because of seeing this..."

“Leave him and live your life! He will bring you nothing else but problems,” they used to say to the mother learning about the son's diagnosis. "You know, such children don't live long." “He will bring you lot of suffering!” Maya have heard many more hurtful words. Even relatives and friends turned their backs on them. But despite everything, she has chosen the son. And they were left alone in the whole world, but they are together! Nikoloz is bedridden, he does not walk, cannot sit on his own, does not talk, he only reacts to sounds sometimes and hums. Mom keeps taking care of him as in his first days of his life. Her son's condition sometimes improves, but frequent attacks and seizures he has seem to nullify all her efforts. She puts her son’s health together bit by bit from scratch, again and again...

Nata (12 years old): Sometimes I close my eyes tightly, put my hands together and pray quietly. I imagine I can walk, run, visit my friend by myself and we go to church together! What if ... I would paint myself without a wheelchair. Without these wheels! Doctors say that I won’t be able to walk. And what do you think? I believe - God will hear me! Doesn’t he help kind little girls?

17-year-old Buba has been confined to a wheelchair since he was 5 years old ... He doesn't know what it is to run, jump and play football with boys ... He could only dream about it. The ruthless diagnosis made by doctors is - cerebral palsy. Does it sound like a verdict? But not for Buba's brave mother, Lela (47-year-old). These words sounded like a call to battle for this kind true Georgian woman. From that moment on, all her efforts have been focused on putting her son on his feet. And mother’s love has no limits...

Tamari (10-year-old), a little beauty with sad eyes met us with these words. “You see, he turns black… I am so scared, that I run away, hide in a far corner and cry… But don’t tell my mother, okay? Are you kind? Mom said that you would come to help us!" - the child looks into my eyes trustingly ...

I love him so much! – the eyes of little Giorgi (8-year-old) are getting wet of tears. I have nothing to answer. I wish the ground would swallow me facing his pure and inquisitive childish gaze. Giorgi’s brother Nikoloz (10-year-old) is seriously ill, and it’s not likely that anybody can promise Giorgi that his brother would hug him soon.

It’s is a peak of my dreams! - sobs Natia (40-year-old), a miserable mother, because her only son Saba (10-year-old) cannot say even a word. He is chained to the wheelchair and can’t do anything by himself, neither eat, nor drink nor talk.

He takes care of two children alone - a 14-year-old daughter and a ten-year-old son who suffers from epilepsy.

"I am ready to endure everything, if only the breath of my daughter did not stop"
