0901200270The hero of our post today is Galaktion! After learning his
story, we thought at the Fund that these are the kind of husbands we would like
our daughters to have: he is courageous, beautiful, but most importantly,
“a real Georgian man” who managed, despite all the horrors of an
unfair fate, to remain faithful to the end of the main women of his life: his
beloved mother and wife! These are the kind of husbands that Georgian women
should look for, not those “cool handsome men” who just change one
wife for another, and the one they married and swore to God to be in sorrow and
in joy with they throw out in the street with their children and parents!
In the photo of the “Holy Trinity”, you cannot
immediately tell how these people are. Beloved women, mother and wife, have
been seriously ill for many years. On the cold New Year eve, when we, friends,
pour glasses, laugh and rejoice, they have nothing to eat and live in cold
premises. Blankets no longer help from the cold in a damp, cold room and the
old people tenderly cling to each other to keep warm and survive this
“cursed winter”.
At first glance, it is difficult to tell how old they are. The handsome
Galaktion has grown very old as he has been caring for his sick mother and wife
for many, many years. He cooks, washes, cleans, changes diapers for his wife
and mother, bathes and feeds them. And all with love! And he does not complain
to the Lord! Not all women can stand it…
He often cries from grief, from the hopelessness of the
situation, but he never shows his tears to the women. He shows only his beautiful smile! He also
jokes and encourages and entertains his “girls” in every possible
way. He is a man like that. The World is wonderful. And thank God that such
people live in it!
– Galaktion, tell us about your youth.
Galaktion: I come from a family of teachers, so for me,
studying was in the first place. After finishing school, I joined the army, and
then entered the Institute. I studied Economics. I worked as an accountant at
the First and Second Georgian Parliament, but then it happened that I did not
give a consent for some fraud and I was “kicked out” from there… So
that after that I could not find a normal job. I worked as a security guard at
a school, taught Physics and mathematics to children, but I couldn’t return to
my previous status. They also tricked us out of a large apartment. Everything
collapsed! It’s hard to survive in this life when you’re honest and your family
suffers from this.
– Tell me what happened to your wife and what it’s like to
take care of two sick people.
Galaktion: 6 years ago, Dali had a stroke. We were sitting
watching a movie, and suddenly she fell off her chair. I’ve been taking care of
her like a child ever since. After the second stroke, she stopped talking, and
it’s killing me. I love her very much, and to see her in such a helpless state
is tantamount to death for me.
– And how did you get acquainted with her?
Galaktion: I called a friend and got the wrong number. Just
one digit! One two! We started talking, I fell in love with her voice and her
laughter, then I called her again, and we talked for hours… then I decided to
ask her out! I can’t say it was love at first sight, because I already loved
her! You understand how hard it is for me to bear her illness? If you had known
her before, it would have been hard for you, too! My beloved Dali!
– God grant health to your mother, as for her age she looks
quite well.
Galaktion: Everyone in her family was a centenarian; her father
lived to 100 years and her mother taught at school till she was 97 years old!
She had a clear mind and a sound memory. My mother is also a good girl, she
also took care of Dali, but for the last 3 years she cannot walk herself, she
has become hard to hear… But to be honest, she is keeping up! If she had the
strength, she would set the tables with delicious dishes, right, Mom?
– What did she like to cook?
Galaktion: Her food is very tasty! When she still could, everyone asked her to
make her signature dish “dolma with nuts” for holiday tables. It was
fantastic! I can’t remember the last time we ate this… Macaroni, buckwheat,
bread, tea… These are our dishes… I can’t buy anything even nuts, and at
times sugar is a luxury for us.
– Can I ask you an indiscreet question? – And where are your
children? Why aren’t they looking after you?
Galaktion: I have one son. A really nice guy. He is a father
with many children. And he is also loyal to his family! He is also socially
unprotected, although he works from morning till night to feed the children…
My honesty did not only ruin me… My son is like me… And then he bitterly
cried, glancing out of the corner of his eye so that his beloved ones would not
be upset.
– What do you need most of all now?
Galaktion: My biggest problem, no matter how much I hesitate
to say it, is diapers for my mother and wife… And food… What else we
need… nothing. Oh and if someone would bring a kilogram of nuts and a pound
of honey I would make a New Year’s treat “kozinaki” (nuts-and-honey
bars). It has probably been 5 years since we ate it for the New Year… This is
the limit of my dreams… I don’t even dare to dream of a separate room… –
You can talk to our readers, maybe you have some wish?
Galaktion: I have a wish, I wish great love to everyone, as
well as understanding and family comfort! I wish that you will definitely meet
your other half… I wish that your parents stay with you for as long as
possible. Do not waste time on quarrels, on empty words! Talk to each other
more affectionate words, hug, smile more often and do not lose your human
personality! Life is shorter than you think, but it’s beautiful!
Dear friends, Chernovetskyi Fund initiates a charitable
action: to help the Chkhaidze. As you know, the Fund does not stop at one-time
assistance. Georgians should live as the proudest nation on earth – Georgians!
To survive, the family is in dire need of food, hygiene
products, medicines, clothes and household appliances! Help them to survive and
consider them your own parents.
And also call them, talk to a real intellectual, a real
Georgian, Galaktion, and find out about their needs, encourage and support
them! And do it always! This is the most important thing for him! Give yourself
a promise at the holiday table that you will personally meet this beautiful
person at the first opportunity. This family is always happy to welcome any
guest from God! And you don’t have to come to them with gifts! Just hug them
and say kind words to them! And God bless You! And reward You! Here’s their
contact number: 551 54 84 54 Address: Tbilisi, Gldani 3rd Mr. Building 85, 7th
entrance, 9th floor, apartment 135.
And be sure to repost our publication. Let all your friends
know about the grief of this family! It is very important.
God gives us the opportunity to take care of people who are
not able to do it themselves. Not all people are the same. And not everyone is
as kind as we are. Please, do not pass aside the sorrow of others! Unhappy
people are given to us from above so that we can prove our faith to the
Almighty not in words but in deeds!

And more, friends, be sure to find an opportunity to
congratulate disadvantaged Georgians on holidays with kind words or postcards.
And give toys or candies to the children, and in return they will send their
smiles to you. We are all one family. These people must know that we are
together and always close!
They were forgotten by people! But great is our Lord!
Do you remember our post about three old people lost in this world? (https://chernovetskyifund.ge/ru/projects/541-chkhaidze) The sad story told by 68-year-old
Galaktion filled the hearts of many people with compassion, made them think
about the fate of their neighbor and their own soul…
And here we are again in the same apartment, forgotten by people but
illuminated by love of the Chkhaidze family. Galaktion, his 95-year-old mother,
and his wife Dali were all excited to see us, their faces lit up with
smiles… The head of the family asked his “girls” to sit down
comfortably and then proudly led us to the kitchen, where a gas stove donated
by the Chernovetskyi Fund was shining.
– Do you know who was the happiest about this gas stove? Me! After all, I’m
the cook in the house. – Galaktion told us with a laugh, but there were tears
in his eyes. – Oh, if my girls could get up on their feet, they would treat you
to such goodies… But I can offer you tea with sugar – we now have both tea and
sugar thanks to you…
I did not refuse from the treat, and our conversation continued over a cup
of hot, fragrant tea, prepared by Galaktion himself. My first question about
what was changed in the life of his family thanks to our publication made
Galaktion cry like a child:
– You know, my troubles have made me distrustful and suspicious. It seemed
to me that there had been no kind and sympathetic people left on earth. But the
good that your Fund sows in the world has broken through the armor that bound
my heart… You’ve shown me how wrong I was. Hope and faith were born again in
me…
– Which of the people who visited or called you remember the most?
– I remember them all, and I am grateful to them with all my heart! In addition
to material assistance, after all, a warm word is still valuable for us, the
old! We are so deprived of it… May God bless all of them and send them
many years of happy life!
I will tell you about the very first person who came to our house after
your publication. A young man, Georgiy from Kaspi, flatly refused to tell me
his last name. He came loaded with food and presented 50 lari. I invited him
home and asked him about his life. Here’s what he told me: Georgiy studied at
the paid Department of the Art Academy in Tbilisi, but could not pay for his
studies and left the Institute. You can imagine what they are, our Georgians:
he could not pay for his studies, for his ticket to the big life, but came to
us and brought food for almost 200 lari! It turns out that he started working
as a stonemason and carves ornaments on stone for churches…
How can I not believe in human kindness after that?
I also want to say a special word about a beautiful girl – nurse Maya, who
congratulated my mother on her birthday – on February 19, she turned 95 years
old. I don’t know how Maya found out about this, but that day she came and
brought mother a big cake and flowers! My wheelchair-bound mother bloomed like
a young girl at the sight of the flowers… After all, life consists of such
small joys!
I’m afraid I won’t tell you the names of all those who came or called us. Many
gave us money, many called and encouraged us with a kind word… Surprisingly,
more than 10 or 12 very young boys and girls called and offered their physical
help… So Georgia has a future, since the youth remember the old people and
are ready to help them with their own hands…
– Galaktion, share your emotions with us.
– I was filled with infinite joy. The feeling that I was needed by someone
other than my family gave me strength and a desire to live…
Gifts from the Foundation – a gas stove and a TV-set – is exactly what we
needed. My girls were so excited about the TV! After all, it is their only
entertainment and window to the outside world… Well, of course, except for my
chatter (laughs)…
And the gas stove is a personal gift to me! My mom and wife can’t cook, and
they can’t move around on their own, so I’m in charge of the kitchen! And now,
thanks to your gift, I will be more comfortable.
– What does this help and support mean to you personally?
– Many thanks to your Fund, from the bottom of my heart. For your attention
and compassion… I want to say again that you reminded me that there are still
real people in Georgia. I know many people who do not just live well, but are
really rich, but they do not have the warmth and compassion for their neighbor
that the Chernovetskyi Fund has shown… You see someone else’s trouble and
really help people. God grant you all the best, strength and opportunities for
such God-pleasing deeds!
– Did the local authorities react to our post in any way?
– Oh, Oh… There’s nothing to speak about… No one even showed concern…
– Maybe you have any other problems that our readers can help you solve…
– They’ve already helped us so much that it’s awkward for me to ask, but if
you’ll let me, I’ll still have the courage to say, even though I’m ashamed: we
really need diapers for my mother and wife. They can’t even walk to the toilet,
and it’s hard for me to carry them – I’ve had five heart surgeries myself… I’m sorry
to say this to you, but this is the reality… These diapers are needed in the
first place…
My girls are fragile and if someone decides to help us again, please let
them buy diapers for 70 kg or a little more…
I understand that it’s hard for everyone and I don’t dare ask you to help
us again… But if someone would like to…
