Dear friends, when you
feel heavy-hearted, there is no reason to fall into despair as it is a sin!
Tomorrow everything will be even better than you expected! And this poor boy
will never get better… he’s doomed! The doctor was a villain: just imagine!
He dropped the baby! And now the child is doomed to horrible suffering! The kid
who has never hurt anyone has a terrible disease, dropsy of brain.

 11-year old Georgiy
Janashia has brain hydrocephaly. This is a horrible illness which entails
numerous complications, including mental deficiency.

The teenager is almost
deaf; he does not react to external stimulus; he is constantly agitated and
cannot sit still; he cannot speak and only pronounces separate squeaky sounds.
Inside his head he has a peritoneal shunt supporting his viability; otherwise
the child will die.

They live in a
dilapidated hut, in appalling conditions, half-starving, without any hope for
survival and on the threshold of a terrible despair.

We asked Tamuna,
Georgiy’s mother, a few questions.

– Tamuna, how did you
end up in this little room?

Tamuna: – Before my
marriage I used to live in Tbilisi, but when I started a family, I moved to my
husband in Martvili. We lived happily, and I wanted to have a big family. But
the birth of Georgiy changed our lives…

– How did the pregnancy
go? Were there any complications?

Tamuna: No, everything
was fine, we were waiting for a healthy firstborn! According to her story, when
she delivered the child medical workers dropped the baby by inadvertence. As a
result the baby received a brain injury. So the hydrocephaly is not innate, it
is acquired. It resulted in a large sorrow which ruined the destiny of the
entire family!

– And so, you had to
leave everything and move to the capital?

Tamuna: – Yes, there are
no conditions in Martvili, and it became impossible to take care of such a
seriously ill child! I had an apartment in Tbilisi, but because of Georgiy I
had to sell it… now we live in this room, barely making ends meet. My husband
stayed in the village. He helps us from there, working as a handyman. My
parents help me with the upbringing of my son, I cannot cope all by myself
anymore…

– It is very hard
indeed, and can Georgiy somehow tell you what’s bothering him?

Tamuna: – It is out of
question to leave him alone even for a second. He can’t talk, he can’t say he’s
in pain… He starts hitting himself on the head with his fists, banging his
head against the wall, and I know he’s in terrible pain… and he can’t say
anything. You have to hold him all the time, hold him down, so he does not hurt
himself. Now his grandfather is holding him from biting himself by the hand,
can you imagine what a nightmare it is!

– Yes, it’s even scary
to imagine. And how does Georgiy’s little brother, Luka, react to this?

Tamuna: – Oh, my boy has
to live through such things… he is 5 years old now. He is afraid of his
brother… He really wants to hug him, but he is afraid of doing this. Sometimes
he cries and looks into my eyes asking to take him to his father. But when he’s
there, he asks dad to bring him back.

– Does the government
help you?

Tamuna: – We receive
social allowance. The mayor’s office is also paying for the rent of this room…
and that’s it.

– Did you go to the
polls? Did you address the deputies for help?

Tamuna: – I did, but my
son needs medicines for 1000 lari per month, who would help me?

– Tamuna, do you
understand that if you do not ask for help, no one will help you? And the
deputies are elected in order to help such mothers as you are. And if they do
not help we will write about it and the whole country will know their names!
All Georgia will know them!

Dear friends, Tamara
Janashia is taking care of the sick child all by herself. When he was 2, she
sold the house and spent all the received money for the son’s treatment.
Probably thanks to these efforts Georgiy is alive today, but more money is
necessary to support his health, and the lonely mother is unable to find them.
She has only 200 lari as a social allowance and a pension of 180 lari – this is
the whole income of the family living in extreme poverty.

Tamuna: – I know that my
son will never be the same as others, says Tamara barely holding back from
tears, – but I still hope that a miracle will happen and thanks to the
treatment, his condition will get a little better… But there is no money for
it; I often do not even have money for food… After all, this poor child
cannot swallow even mashed food, and how could I buy yogurt every day? I have
no idea how to keep on living! I am in a great need, crying because of my
helplessness and constantly praying to the Lord to send people who will give
him a helping hand.

Dear friends, today
Georgiy needs your help and your kind heart! Certainly, because of the horrible
illness he does not understand anything what is going on with him, he is just
in pain and cannot even tell about it, but we do understand! Let us help the
brave mother in this hard struggle for the life of her son, let us give her a
hope for the better! They need literally everything – medicines, hygiene
products, food…
