By helping the poor, the sick and the unfortunate, you lend a helping hand not to them - but TO THE SON OF GOD! “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40)

“All four of us sleep on the floor, we warm each other. I am afraid that my daughters will get sick, the cold from the floor creeps to the bones,” mother Lela (41 years old) cries bitterly. The poor woman and her three wonderful daughters - Mariam (5-year-old), Ekaterina (9-year-old), Lizi (11-year-old) - are desperately fighting for survival. They have to live in a quite empty rented apartment without any amenities, and sleep on the bare floor! It’s impossible to imagine anything like that happening in a European country! Our compatriot Lela Elbakidze is a single mother of three daughters, and she is sick. Friends, we are her last hope!

“They run around the room and bite! They are so scary! They bit my sister!” - 4-year-old baby Elene starts complaining as soon as she sees us. - Baby, and what are these rats like? “Oh, they are so big, as a human! - the baby spreads her arms. - Like you! One rat was going to take my sister away and eat her... When mommy did not let it to take my sister away it started to scream so scary!"

"My God, what a horror!" - is the first thought that crossed my mind when we saw this dwelling. A child lives among graves! You get stunned by the grief and despair you see! The gases from constantly decaying corpses can cause terrible diseases ... Lord, do not leave these unfortunate people! “I'm afraid to open my eyes, there are only crosses and graves around ... Every day I ask the Lord only one thing: I want to live among the living and find friends ... I believe that you are the answer to my prayers! " - says Mariam with hope in her voice and her frightened little heart beating very fast.

“I believed, I believed and waited for you so much,” the beautiful Rosalinda (7-year-old) greeted me in her ringing voice. "Miracles do not happen ... I am 13, and I know that for sure... Or they do happen?" Khatuna (13-year-old) asked me with an expression of wonder, humbly looking at me. My heart ached of the utter hopelessness that I saw there.

They live in desperate poverty, any second at the risk of being buried under the ruins of their own home... It was a distressing picture to see even for the worldly-wise Fund employees. We just shuddered when we saw this little doll with huge beautiful eyes in desperate poverty, a dilapidated house, with a collapsed wall... And Nini, kept frolicking without noticing it: “Look what a puppy I have! Isn't it wonderful?"
