Six-year-old Oto looks at his holey shoes with annoyance. “Do you want to go to school, dear?” – I try to insinuatingly find out what upsets him so much. “Sure! Everyone goes to school, and I want too! What do you think will my feet get wet?” Dressed literally in rags, the little boy met us by a strange building, which only remotely looked like a house.

Everyone goes to school, and I want too! What do you think will my feet get wet?” Dressed literally in rags, the little boy met us by a strange building, which only remotely looked like a house.
As it turned out, Oto lives in this shack, propped up with bricks and insulated with old blankets, plywood, and plastic bags. He lives there with his four brothers, mom and dad.
“They have to stay at home, because they have no clothes or shoes, everything is worn out, torn to holes,” – mother, Inga sobs. – “But what can I say when we only eat potatoes. Thanks God, we have at least a roof above our head, but it can collapse any time. God help us!”
– Inga, what made you address us for help?
Inga: My sons are starving, they are naked, barefoot… We have to live in this ruins, because we have no other place to go. Just look: we had to insulate the walls with plywood and blankets. But this did not bring much result. It seems that one wall has already sagged, and we have only left to pray that the house does not collapse on our heads. Allowance is not enough at all, we have so many debts. I have no idea how to live on… (The poor woman covers her face with her hands.)
– How did you find yourself here?
Inga: We have never had housing of our own. I am originally from Western Georgia, I was raised in a large family, and my husband was raised in an orphanage. I want to say that we have never aspired to live in wealth. Do you have a roof over your head? Do your children eat their fill? Are they dressed? Thank God for that! My husband is a hard worker, he worked at a factory for a long time, and even, when he was laid off, he always managed to earn some money. Even after recovering from tuberculosis few years ago, he worked as a taxi driver. Now because of his age, deteriorated health, and these restrictions, he can’t even drive a taxi. We are almost starving…
– Could you please tell us how did you meet?
Inga: I came to Tbilisi intending to enter a zootechnical college. I wanted to learn and to work in agriculture. I stayed at my relatives’ place. And once Dzhemali came there for a visit. Perhaps it was love at first sight. He wrote me letters, gave them to a neighbor, and she gave them to me. (Inga recalls it with a smile.) Three months later, he asked me to marry him, and I agreed without hesitation. Since then, we have been living in perfect harmony… There were good times when my husband earned money and we didn’t live in need, and difficult times. The problem is that we never got our own housing… We kept moving from one rented flat to another. Now we are unable to pay rent. May God grant the health to our good friend. She offered us to live in this house, and I milk her cows for that. I am so happy that she does not charge us for rent! But this building… It is in such a state that everything is literally falling apart! There is no water, you have to bring it from your neighbors. But I do not complain – at least we have a roof over our heads!
– You have no one to ask for help?
Inga: No one at all. As I already said, my husband was raised in an orphanage, he has brothers and a sister, but they do not communicate, they grew up separately, and nothing connects them. My parents died a long time ago, and my brothers and sisters are in such a situation that they need help themselves… What to do, now it’s hard for everyone, everyone is fighting for survival, trying to somehow keep his family.
– What about state? Did you address the local authorities for help?
Inga: I asked so many times to at least pay the rent. They paid for two years, and then, apparently, they decided that we could do it without their help. Now during the pandemic, my boys did not study at all. We not only have no computer, but even a simple phone so that they can attend online lessons, and we have no money to pay for the Internet. I’m terrified – they missed a complete year! Can you imagine that? But even now, when the schools were opened, they have nothing to put on – no clothes, no shoes, they wear each other’s hand-me-downs. Can you imagine the condition of the clothes worn by the five boys? This month I planned to allocate some money from our allowance so that I could buy them some clothes at second-hand shop. But I can’t – our debts in the grocery shop exceed the amount that we get. Calculate for yourself how much it costs to buy at least two pairs of socks for each of them.
– It means that, at the moment the allowance is your only source of livelihood?
Inga: Yes. And this is not enough even to buy food. My husband managed to buy some good food before – at least once a month he pampered the boys with chicken legs or semi-finished products. Now, we only eat potatoes and buckwheat.
What vitamins can one find in cheap frozen dumplings? But at least they smell like meat …
– What prevents you from falling into despair in such a difficult situation?
Inga: I believe that the Lord will not leave us! We go to church, confess, receive communion. God sends us help through kind people!
– Complete strangers?
Inga: Yes! Do you know how we found ourselves here? When they kicked us out for non-payment, the Lord brought us to the owner of this building. She sheltered us. The kindest woman… Sometimes she brings us some milk, sometimes a piece of cheese. Sometimes she comes to me and asks me quietly: “Did the boys eat today?” and brings us lunch. God sees everything, her kindness will be rewarded to her a hundredfold! There are seven of us in the family, five children. Do you know how much it costs to just cook them a lean soup for two days? Everything has risen in price: vegetables, sunflower oil, even pasta! The entire amount of the allowance goes to pay debts and utility bills. And there is no end to these debts!
– Inga, how can we alleviate your hard situation?
Inga: God knows, I addressed you being in despair, simply because I can’t see other way out. If not for the children, I would never have bothered anyone! First of all, they need clothes and shoes. In spring, when it rains, you can’t walk in holey shoes. They are dressed like ragamuffins, they are always hungry… We need food. At least some normal food.
– Would you like to ask for anything for yourself?
David (10-year-old): I know, I’ll tell you! Mom needs a washing machine! Look, her fingers got cracked and are bleeding! She washes every day in cold water!
– What a good boy – you care about your mom! May I talk to you and your brothers? Would you please tell us about yourself?
David: Mom is the best, we love her very, very much! We feel sorry for her, she cries all the time. She wants us to go to school and study.
– Do you want to go to school?
David: It’s fun, many children are there.
– What is your favorite subject?
David: Sports! I love playing football!
– What about you, Oto? Do you like school?
Oto (6-year-old): I don’t know… I have been there just several times. And then the school was closed. Mom teaches me how to read and write at home.
Saba (15-year-old): We have neither computer nor telephone. No Internet either. This is our biggest dream.
– Saba, have you already decided where you will go after graduating from school?
Saba: I really want to become a programmer. They always have a job, and their salary is good. I want my family to never live in the need.
– And you, Luka, who will you become when you grow up?
Luka (12-year-old): Vehicle mechanic! I will fix big cars and tractors…
– Oto, what are you dreaming about, dear?
Oto: I want toys. Everything we have is broken and old.
I really want a gun and a car.
– Inga, I think you have something to add to the wishes of your wonderful sons?
Inga: I really don’t know what to tell you… It’s very embarrassing to ask for something. But we really need any help. We have no refrigerator, no washing machine, no gas stove, no TV – we have nothing at all. Boys need a computer to study. But how can I bother you with such requests? All I am dreaming about is for my boys to be dressed, fed, and have an opportunity to study – that’s it, and God forbid this shack collapsing upon our heads. I am so grateful to you that you paid attention to us, came to visit us and listened to us. Nobody pays attention to my requests. I know that your Fund has many kind and empathetic friends, and I believe, that having learned about our misfortune, they will support my sons as well.

The Nakopia family lives in a dilapidated house in dire conditions. Inga and Dzhemal are raising five sons – future defenders of our Homeland! Today, boys are deprived of absolutely anything: normal food, clothing, shoes, the opportunity to learn and develop. And the youngest, six-year-old Oto, can only dream of toys.
The Nakopia family really needs our support. They need food, children’s clothes, and shoes. They do not have even the most basic amenities, such ordinary things as a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, gas stove. The boys really need a computer to study.
You can visit and provide all possible help to the Nakopia family.Their address is: Gardabani municipality, village of Krtsanisi, summer houses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Please repost our story. Let your friends know about the grief of this family! It’s extremely important!
God gives us chances to care about people who are unable to take care of themselves. Do not pass by someone else’s trouble! Those poor people are sent to us by heaven so that we could prove not by words, but in deeds that we trust in God!
Friends, there is one more request: if you know about the misfortune of a neighbor or friend do a godly deed, drop us an email at: office-fsp@fsp.ge.

Can you imagine – our mother can smile!!! And she
becomes so beautiful! She just cried and cried before…
REPOST, MY GOOD MAN! LET YOUR
FRIENDS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE WORK OF MERCY!
“How can I thank you? – Inga, a mother of six,
is about to throw herself at us. It is no longer possible to recognize in her
that drooping, dejected woman whom we met just a few months ago. “You gave so
much joy to my children, I have already forgotten how their laughter sounds.”
Recently
in our post “Going to school barefoot!” we told you about the problems of this
wonderful Georgian family.
https://chernovetskyifund.ge/en/projects/finished/745-nakopia/
“We
not only have no computer, but even a simple phone so that they can attend
online lessons. I’m
terrified, they missed a complete year!“ – poor woman was in complete despair.
Now,
thanks to you, boys have two tablets!“Don’t get me wrong, this is a serious device, I learn with
it!” – 7-year-old Oto declares. “We can also watch cartoons and
play!” – the boy’s face beams. “We didn’t have a TV set, the boys were
deprived of the simplest entertainment,” – Inga recalls bitterly.
Friends,
you have given huge joy to this family. It is thanks to your kind hearts that
7-year-old Oto, 11-year-old Dato, 13-year-old Luka and 15-year-old Giorgi now
have the brilliant opportunity to both learn and to entertain themselves. And
their mother is happy with her new refrigerator, which flaunts instead of an
old rotten ruin with a falling off door.
“I don’t even remember
the last time we received gifts. Thank you!”
Inga: You can’t even
imagine what a huge joy you gave us! I just don’t have enough words to express
my gratitude! Extreme despair led me to your Fund, I could not even imagine
that in such a difficult time anyone would respond to my cry for help. Oh, how
wrong I was… Now, thanks to your kind readers, my children have the
opportunity to learn, they no longer miss lessons, and this is no less
important than their daily bread. I went crazy with the thought that my sons
hadn’t attended classes for almost a year, because there was no computer or
even a simple phone. And now they have a tablet, and not one, but two! Just
enough because they study in different shifts. I cannot describe to you what
was happening here when your employees brought us gifts: the boys were jumping
and shouting with joy. Of course, no one has given them anything for so long,
they have forgotten what joy is. “Mom, is this all for us? Aren’t they
wrong?” – they asked me.
“Just compare: It
feels like you had wiped away sadness from their faces.”
– You also asked for…
Inga: Fridge! You can’t
even imagine what a pleasure it is to see this beautiful refrigerator when you
walk into the kitchen. Our old refrigerator‘s door fell off, it was no longer
good for anything. For us, food is worth its weight in gold – it’s so hard for
us to get it. And when you cook something, and the next day you have to throw
it away because it went bad – it is terrible. You made us a wonderful gift! If
I could express my emotions like my children do, I would throw myself at you!
–
Could you please tell us what you felt, what changed after the post was
published?
Inga: To be honest, at
first, I was a little bit embarrassed to ask for help when such things were
happening in the country and all over the world. It’s hard for everyone now.
But I could no longer sit back and watch how my children were suffering. I
couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the number of people who were ready to help
us! Probably, someone took this money away from their own family and shared it
with my children! From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who did not pass by our misfortune, everyone who at
least read our story and their heart skipped a beat! May the Lord bless you,
and each penny will return a hundredfold to you!
“Can we hug you and
kiss you? Is it really for us? Aren’t you mistaken? As many as two of them!!!
“
– What
does this support and help mean to you?
Inga: My husband and I are
used to counting only on ourselves because he was raised in an orphanage, and I
grew up in a large family. And when the situation became hopeless, it seemed to
us that this was the end. It wouldn’t even have crossed our minds to ask
someone for anything. I was afraid of the coming of each new day. Thanks to my
daughter’s tip – she saw on Facebook how many unfortunate people you helped.
After the publication, I realized that I was not alone facing my problems, that
there are many kind people in the world who are not indifferent to our
misfortune, and who are ready to lend a helping hand! Hope settled in my heart
again, I realized that we were not alone! It is so important to realize that –
it gives you strength and faith in a new future!
– Inga, was there any
respond to our post from the local authorities?
Inga: Oh, what are you
talking about… (Waves her hand hopelessly.) The house where we lived
collapsed, we had to rent an apartment, and this is a disaster for us. The
children already lived from hand to mouth, and then we got the extra expenses because
of rent. I have repeatedly addressed them, I asked them to help us, but no one
responded.
Do you recognize in
the photo on the right those sad boys we introduced to you a couple of months
ago? They’re like different people.
– Oto,
will you show me your new toy?
Oto
(7-year-old): Ma’am, it is not a toy! This is a serious device – I learn using it!
– What
a good boy you are! Do you only learn using it?
Oto: I also play games and
watch cartoons!
Luka
(13-year-old): We didn’t have a TV when you gave us these tablets. The little ones
were so happy!
Inga: True, the children
had no entertainment at all. The tablets became a real salvation!
“Type “GTA”, let’s
play together. You will play on your tablet, and I’ll play on mine”
– Do you
quarrel, guys? There are five of you, and there are only two tablets?
Dato
(11-year-old): No! We have lessons at different times: two of us have them in the
morning, two of us – in the evening, just enough!
Luka: Oto and Dato are just
babies – at first, they wouldn’t let tablets out of their hands, and they put
them under the pillow at night! So, we have to give up. Saba, Giorgi and I are
adults. The main thing is that mom started smiling again.
Dato: She is so beautiful
when she laughs! She used to be so sad all the time until you came.
“I don’t want to part
with my new tablet, now I take it everywhere I go”
–
Inga, we are happy that you started smiling again! But surely there are still
many unresolved problems you have…
Inga: Of course, there are
still many problems, but my conscience wouldn’t let me bother you. We still
have problems with foodstuffs, although my husband started working as taxi
driver again. But whatever he earns is barely enough to buy fuel and rent a
car. Sometimes he can’t even buy bread. Renting an apartment became an
unbearable burden for us… Plus utility bills, winter is just around the
corner. Food and firewood are our main problem now. Lord, if you only knew how
grateful I am to all of you! For your gifts, for your empathy, for that
boundless joy that you gave to my sons! May this happiness return to you and
your families a hundredfold! God bless you!
“Hush, hush, the
lesson begins!” – the boys have missed an entire school year. It’s time to
catch up!
***
Friends,
thanks to your kindness and responsiveness, another family has become happier,
the boys’ eyes shine with happiness, and their mother Inga has learned to smile
again. You gave the children the opportunity to learn and not only to learn,
but to entertain as well – they used to be deprived of any entertainment.
But
they still need our help and support. A large family lives in a rented
apartment and can barely make ends meet. They are in dire need of firewood and
food, because the allowance and modest income of the father of the family is
not enough even for the most basic things!
Our problems
are nothing if compared… Here are true misfortunes, in front of your eyes!
Just thank the Lord for what you have. You are the happiest person in the
world! Remember this and help those in need.
Unfortunately,
problems of this and other families do not end here and now… Therefore, from
time to time, look through the stories of unhappy people on our website, talk
to them. Every time you dial the Phone of an unhappy person, God is blessing
you! For sure!
Go on helping these
families! This is the best service to the Lord!
Your kindness is a chance
for yourself to be happy in everything!
Friends, thanks again to
all!
