There are only three people in the small Bichiashvili family, two of them are disabled since birth. Both mother and son suffer from a terrible genetic disease, which gradually, year after year, more and more constrains their leg muscles causing their deformity and preventing their motor activity. Seven-year-old Nikoloz, still walks independently, although with difficulty, but his mother, 28-year-old Maka, can no longer do without a cane and someone’s help.

Repost right away, my good man! Help your friends to get closer to the work of mercy!
There are only three people in the small Bichiashvili family, two of them are disabled since birth. Both mother and son suffer from a terrible genetic disease, which gradually, year after year, more and more constrains their leg muscles causing their deformity and preventing their motor activity. Seven-year-old Nikoloz, still walks independently, although with difficulty, but his mother, 28-year-old Maka, can no longer do without a cane and someone’s help.
The difficult situation in the family and the complete helplessness of the mother and son makes the father of the family stay around all the time, depriving him of the opportunity to earn at least some money. As a result, the family’s only income is two disability pensions, and after paying the rent and paying off the “endless” loan taken once for treatment, only 255 GEL is left. And how to live on it?
25-Kilogram sack of flour that the family can afford once a month becomes their only salvation from hunger and the hope that tomorrow will come again. But no one knows what it will be like in this vicious circle of hopelessness.
“We lean on each other and slowly move forward!”
Seven-year-old Nikoloz firmly holds his mother by the hand meeting us at the door. She can’t take one step without him: her legs are so disobedient, twisted by the disease. “Come in, please, I’ll show you our house, because my mother can’t do that, it’s very difficult for her to walk,” – the little boy tells us confidently in an adult way. Easy to see, he has got the makings of a real man, a real handsome Georgian man. However, one cannot fail to notice that it is not easy for Nikoloz to move – a genetic disease affected his legs too, and over time it will bind them even more …
“This disease is like a family curse, and it did not spare my son”
– Maka, what’s wrong with your legs?
Maka: This is a genetic disease – I inherited it from my father, and he inherited from my grandfather and great-grandfather. When I found out that I was pregnant, I prayed for only one thing, that my child would be healthy.
But he was not lucky either… Unfortunately, this disease is incurable, nothing can be done, there is no medication or any other means. The only good thing is that it does not cause pain, it only makes it very hard to walk. I’m afraid that I might have to get into a wheelchair over time. In any case, it is already impossible to help me, and I am very worried about my son, but I hope that while he grows up, they will come up with something new, and he will be cured. Unfortunately, this is not the only problem that makes us suffer.
– Do you mean your living conditions?
Maka: Yes, exactly. Everything in our house is broken, the floor is pitted and cracked, and the walls are ragged and rotten. I laid pieces of linoleum, old carpet, plywood, in general, everything I found to prevent us from stumbling and falling. I attached an oilcloth to the wall to create at least some kind of coziness and decorated it with stuffed toys. I want at least some kind of beauty – so that it would be easier to look at all this. But who am I kidding?… Most of all, the fact that we cannot break out of the vicious circle of poverty, we cannot change anything here, in order to create at least some comfort for life, this is depressing.
“My mom is a real designer! She decorated the wall with oilcloth and stuffed toys, and now we have more fun.”
– Are you renting this house?
Maka: Yes, we pay 100 GEL monthly for rent. We cannot count on anything better – we won’t be able to afford it. Our entire income is two pensions, mine, and my son’s, 250 GEL each. Total – 500 GEL per month. Besides rent, another 145 GEL from this amount goes to pay off the bank loan, which we once took for our child’s treatment. We are supposed to pay it back by 2027. So, we have 255 GEL left to live on, which is only enough for flour and pasta.
– Tell us about your husband. Does not he work?
Maka: Yura is a very good, caring father and husband. He would like to change something in the current situation and is trying his best, but now Nikoloz and I are completely helpless, we cannot cope on our own and we cannot stay alone at home. So, Yura has to be near and help us with everything. He has serious problems with the spine as well – he cannot do heavy work, and there is no light work here.
– How do you manage to live on 255 GEL per month?
Maka: The main thing for me is to immediately buy a bag of flour as soon as I get my pension. (This is 25 kilograms worth 35 GEL.) After that, I can draw an easy breath. I will be sure that until the next payday my child will certainly have bread, and he will not faint from hunger. This has happened to us too… Those who know what hunger is, will understand me.
“I can’t run or jump, but they say that you can even play football on a tablet”
Nikoloz (7-year-old): Honestly, I’m not starving! But do you know what I would like the most? To have many friends! But I don’t have them, because I can’t play any games. I can’t play football, I can’t run. So, I dream of a tablet. There I would run and jump, and I would find many new friends. But I know for sure that I will never have a tablet …
– Why do you think so?
Nikoloz: Because we are poor. And I understand very well that my mom can’t even buy candy. Leave aside candies, you wouldn’t guess that I like more than candies.
– Well, let me try to guess. Is it ice cream?
Nikoloz: No, no, what I love is not sweet.
– Cheese?!
Nikoloz: No, but cheese is also a good thing. Okay, don’t worry. I love sausage with eggs! I love it so much, especially eggs. I can eat ten at once!
– Have you ever eaten that much at once?
Nikoloz: No, how can we get so much? Mom buys one at a time.
Maka: Yes, unfortunately, there is no other way. And dairy products and meat do not exist for us at all. In the market I buy only the cheapest stuff.
– Maka, do you have a cherished dream?
Maka: Yes, there is one. But it is even more impossible than a tablet for Nikoloz. Sometimes I close my eyes and see my own house, so small, almost tiny. I can imagine what kind of curtains are there on the windows, how warm and cozy it is, and how the three of us sit on a soft sofa and watch a movie on TV. Oh, I will certainly burst into tears now. Let’s better talk about something else.
Dreams crash against concrete floors and rotten walls
– Okay, what you need the most, what could make your life easier?
Maka: I really need a washing machine. I just can’t cope without it in winter. In my situation, hand washing is such a complex work, it’s almost on the verge of impossible. I would also like to have a TV. We also have big problems with clothes and shoes…
Nikoloz: Mom, don’t ask for so much!
– Nick, what would you like to have? I will write down your wishes separately.
Nikoloz: I really need school supplies: a bag, notebooks, pens, and everything of that kind. I also really want a desk. We don’t have a table and it’s hard for me to do my homework. And I have one more dream… Honestly, I haven’t seen it myself, but I’ve heard that there are cars like real ones, but only for children, in which you can sit and even ride. Do you know about these? This is what I dream about the most. But this is a very expensive dream, and I know that it will never come true.
“What should we do to make our dreams come true?”

REPOST RIGHT AWAY, MY GOOD MAN! HELP YOUR
FRIENDS TO GET CLOSER TO THE WORK OF MERCY!
“My cookies, I finally got to you!”
– Look at my car first! Let’s talk later! – Niko gets
into his car and drives. With very satisfied face he makes circles around the
yard, without ceasing to chat with me: “I never thought that I would ever have
such a thing. I dreamed about it so much… Look at the wheels, how powerful they
are! Do you see the side mirror?
–
You are very good at driving.
Niko just shines! This little heart has finally known
happiness! His mother Maka smiles sweetly.
We are sure there is no need to introduce the
Bichiashvili family. The feedback to our post about them was really incredible.
https://chernovetskyifund.ge/en/projects/798-bichiashvili/
This video made everyone shocked: it is a real torment for mother and son to
walk. They can only walk by holding on to each other.
Severe health problems have
not gone away. Both Maka and Niko need help right now. But you managed to
support them a lot! You were so passionate to create the better living conditions
to them!
“It’s good
when there are so many tasty things at home!”
“It’s beautiful now, isn’t it?”
– Maka, as I see, there
are a lot of new things in your house. How did your life and life of Nikoloz
change after our publication?
Maka: I still can’t get used to the fact that we have so many
problems solved. (Smiles). I did not
expect that.
Nikoloz: And I’m already used to it. (Happilly smiles.) Ask me – I like everything. Will I say mom?
(Maka nods her head.)
Nikoloz: We had no furniture, now we have it; we had no bed – here it is,
we had no food and drink – now we have a lot. You are great!
Maka (smiles):Niko and I are sincerely grateful to everyone who took care
of us. This is the first time this has happened to us – so that someone took
care of us, solved our problems, fulfilled our dreams. There are a lot of
people involved in this! My son and I say to each of you personally:
“Thanks a lot!”
“The bed is so big that I can roll over several times”
Niko: And we say: “You are really great!”
– These words go straight
to the heart! Let’s tell our readers all the details. It will inspire them.
What help did you get? What did you enjoy the most?
Maka: Everyday people make us feel loved. It’s so nice! Entire
Georgia already knows us, and everyone is worried about us. Everyone took our
family story to heart. I keep getting the phone calls! Everyone wants to help
us, share the warmth of their hearts with us. God, I’m afraid it will be
impossible for us to live without so much love!
Most people don’t even tell us their names, but I pray
to God for each of them. We had wonderful days when wonderful things happened
one after another. A complete stranger, Beka, came and brought us a mobile
phone! They brought us the most desired gift from Lagodekhi – two bags of
flour. This is a real salvation for us – we barely had enough bread for the
day. And now I even bake khachapuri and cookies, which Nikoloz loves so much.
Nikoloz: It’s good to have tasty things at home!
Maka: Mari came from Tbilisi to bring very beautiful clothes for
Niko – both for the winter and for the summer. I have not bought anything new
for my child for so long, he always put on the same clothes. Oh, how happy he
was!
A lot of people came to visit us! Many thanks to all
of them, may the Lord reward them a hundredfold for this. Giorgi, a complete
stranger, opened a bank account for us and he transfers us money every month so
that we can pay off the loan.
One kind man from Batumi made my son’s cherished dream
come true – and he didn’t even tell us his name. He gave Niko a big toy car
that you can get in and ride. You can’t imagine how happy he was! The child
could not calm down from happiness!
The parents of Niko’s classmates also made a surprise
to us. They gave us nice clothes.
Nikoloz: Mommy, let me tell! You know, what I wanted most was a bag
with wheels. As it turned out, my classmate’s mother found out about this, and
she brought me exactly the bag I wanted.
– Do you already go to
school with this bag?
Nikoloz: Yes. You know, everyone likes it! No matter how many books
you put in, it’s not heavy to carry, you just roll it, as if it’s not a bag,
but a toy.
Oh, I almost forgot! They also gave me a desk for my
home! I like it very much – I enjoy studying at it.
“We didn’t have a wardrobe, but now we have!”
– Niko, what other gifts
did you like the most?
Nikoloz: Mobile phone, tablet and car. We study either online or go
to school. I need a tablet and a mobile phone all the time – they help me a
lot. I’ve wanted a car for so long. (Nico’s eyes are shining.) But when I said that I didn’t expect it to
work. It’s good that I said it! Otherwise, an uncle from Batumi would not have
read it.
It is exactly what I dreamed of! You just sit down and
ride. It’s very cool. You drive it
like “vroom-vroom” (Makes a car sound.)
It can go everywhere – on a flat road and in mud, and it does not need
gasoline. “Vroom-vroom” (Makes
a car sound again.) It’s so cool. And my
legs don’t get tired. (Smiles.)
“My car will go everywhere – both in
the mud and on the leaves”
Nikoloz: Do you like my car?
– Well, this is such a
cool SUV! I wish you to travel many roads and many new places.
Nikoloz: Well, I have to park my car at the parking lot.
– Wow! Good luck!
“We both have fun thanks to the tablet”
– Maka, did the local
authorities respond to our post? Did they react in any way?
Maka: Yes, they helped us a little. They brought us a bag full of
groceries for the New Year from the management of Tsnori. That’s it, nothing
more. They know perfectly that we are so sick, that we rent the house, that we
suffer. There are many abandoned houses around us. What happens if they give
one of them to us? I’ve been asking for housing for so many years. But they
don’t care about us – that’s the problem. They can, but they don’t want to
bother themselves.
God be their judge… The entire Georgia helped us.
The owner of shop in Tsnori brought us bags of food – buckwheat, sugar, rice,
tomatoes. From himself, at the behest of his soul. A complete stranger. Or
here’s another example: the girls came by car, they brought us a lot of food.
It derives from within.
– What does the support of
kind people mean to you, how much did their gifts make your life easier?
Maka: I never imagined how easy household chores become when you
have a washing machine and a normal gas stove. How should I know? I never had a
washing machine before, I never used it. I already said that I bake stuff for
my son. I use this gas stove.
There is no room for a heater in this little room that
serves us as kitchen, living room, and bedroom. We don’t have it, so we turn on
the gas stove and heat up that way. I don’t know what we would do without it
this cold winter. So, it also saves us from the cold.
A washing machine makes life much easier.
– Maka, despite your
optimism, we know that problems still remain. The state of health, both yours
and Niko’s, has not changed. How else our friends can help you?
Maka: I want very much my son to be examined thoroughly. I want to
take him to a good doctor to know if there is a chance to help him. But I must
be sure that this treatment will bring a result. I am saying that because of my
bitter experience. My brothers and sisters were operated on, but to no avail.
It turned out that after the operation it was necessary to do exercises, but no
one even told us about it. Well, and we did not have funds for it. You need a
lot of money for treatment. I have to be 100% sure that Nikoloz will walk
normally. His ligaments are shortened and tense. Therefore, he needs to be
examined thoroughly. I will be really happy if someone can help us with this.
When my son runs on his own, it will be like walking on my own for me. I’ll be really
happy!
– What else are you
dreaming about, Niko? How can we make you happy?
Nikoloz: It’s extremely difficult. I am not sure whether you’ll be
able to. (Starts
thinking, becomes serious.) So that my mother and I could walk well …
“I really want my mom and I to be able to walk well”
***
Dear friends! We know that you have already fallen in
love with Nikoloz and his mother Maka. It is impossible not to take them to
heart! Now we have one more request to everyone, especially to our compatriots
who live abroad: perhaps somewhere such a disease is being successfully
treated. Perhaps a genetic disease is not a sentence. And there is a precedent
when this disease was defeated.
Let’s think together how we can help them: with funds,
with an examination, with the useful contacts. Let’s make this little boy full
of kindness happy, a boy who matured early because of his concern for his own
and his mother’s health; let’s make Niko able to run, jump, play football like
his peers. Kindness will help, we have proven this many times. And now we want
to ask for the same thing – let’s give Niko and his mother the opportunity to
fully enjoy life!
Dear friends, the address of Maka and Nikoloz is: Tsnori, village Sakobo, 9 Gamarjveba Str.
