Even in her worst nightmares, the young 27-year-old caring mother, Gvantsa Tvlidiani, could not have imagined that, in the prime of her life, she would one day find herself with her beloved sons and daughters in a crumbling, dilapidated house in the Shanghai settlement near Tbilisi. Seven children, the youngest just 4 months old, live with rats in a room where the ceiling has collapsed. Flies and poisonous wasps are everywhere, ready to sting the poor little ones at any moment. Six children sleep with their mother on one old bed, while baby Jaki sleeps in a basket serving as a cradle. The house has no bathroom or toilet.

Even in her worst nightmares, the young 27-year-old caring mother, Gvantsa Tvlidiani, could not have imagined that, in the prime of her life, she would one day find herself with her beloved sons and daughters in a crumbling, dilapidated house in the Shanghai settlement near Tbilisi. Seven children, the youngest just 4 months old, live with rats in a room where the ceiling has collapsed. Flies and poisonous wasps are everywhere, ready to sting the poor little ones at any moment. Six children sleep with their mother on one old bed, while baby Jaki sleeps in a basket serving as a cradle. The house has no bathroom or toilet.
The walls are falling apart.
In this room, seven people and a baby are crammed together.
Poor Gvantsa doesn’t know how to keep track of seven toddlers when there is so much to do in the house. The dilapidated building has no plumbing, so she has to buy water in large bottles.
Water is precious.
The poor thing washes dishes and clothes by hand in a basin, saving water to avoid buying more.
The mother of many children washes dishes by hand.
The kitchen has no windows, which swallows take advantage of, building nests in the house, even above the dining table. Bird droppings are everywhere, and the children play with it with their hands, out of hunger, they might even swallow it.
Bird droppings are everywhere – on the walls, on the floor.
Then these same hands are put in the mouth and licked
The family is starving. Gvantsa feeds the children soups, with no money left for anything else. The only income for this large family is social allowance.
This soup is at least a day old, but the starving children eat it.
Gvantsa Tvlidiani: “I need food and diapers the most. The children have no beds and sleep on one couch in terrible cramped conditions. I sent three of my children to the village because I have nowhere to put them at night. I also don’t have a washing machine, a dresser, a wardrobe, or any furniture at all.”
There is only one bed at home…One for sven people…Nowadays! It’s terrifying!
“The gas stove is old and cooking on it is already dangerous, not to mention there’s not much to cook. Her husband was arrested for illegal possession of a weapon, leaving her alone with seven little ones to care for. No one helps me and I can’t expect any help. My husband is not a terrorist. Did no one think about what I would do with seven children when they put him in jail?!”
Gvantsa married young, at 17, for love. Even today, she is beautiful, but her faithfulness to her husband and love for her children are her main qualities
But these are not the only problems the unfortunate young woman faces! Her heartache and tears are for her youngest, 4-month-old Jaki! He was born with a heart defect and could die if his heart valve doesn’t close properly!
Four-month-old Jaki suffers from a heart defect.
Her eldest daughter, a beautiful girl, needs surgery on her tonsils. They are so fused together that she could suffocate at any moment. But how can a woman living on social allowance afford to see doctors when sometimes she doesn’t even have money for bread?
Terribly emaciated from hunger and weakened, five-year-old Mariam is struggling to breathe due to fused tonsils, but Gvantsa has no money for the operation!
A single mother, rejected by everyone, lives with her children in a dilapidated shack that can hardly be called a home. Shabby walls, exposed wires, holes in the walls where rats live, broken windows, collapsed ceilings – this is the picture that Gvantsa’s young children see every day.
A hole in the wall that a rat can crawl out of
It’s the ceiling and the fly-trap… That’s all there is in the house except for the bed
How can a human being, much less a four-month-old infant and his little brothers and sisters, live in such conditions? How can they survive surrounded by rats, dangerous insects, and parasites? The helpless mother has no one to turn to for support; everyone turns away from her as if she were a leper.
Gvantsa Tvlidiani: My children want to play and enjoy life, but what can I give them? My five-year-old daughter – Mariam really wants a singing doll, and the boys love toy cars, but those are just dreams… I can’t even take them to kindergarten because the nearest one is six kilometers from our house, and there’s no transportation to get there.
Gvantsa has to save even on feeding the baby.
Friends, Gvantsa and her seven young children cannot survive in this cruel world alone – only your support can feed and clothe these poor children. Let’s do a good deed, lend a hand, and save this large family from dire poverty. Even a small donation can help buy essential food and at least one bed so the children can sleep in humane conditions.
If you are willing to visit the family and help them in person, here is their address: Gardabani, village Vaziani, lower settlement Shankhai.
