Five-year-old Anano from the Dagelishvili family is the happiest of all. She skips towards each gift, shouting “Hurray!” and sighs joyfully as she hugs her new things. Anano: “They sent me a beautiful jacket, and I’m already wearing it. It’s pretty, isn’t it? It fits, right? I also found a fluffy sweater for Mom in the clothes. She won’t be cold, and that’s good. And for Elene, I found a tiny little sweater, just like her. It’s so funny. Come on, let’s go look! They sent me so many toys—colorful balls and a jump rope. Will you teach me how to jump? Oh, and can you teach Dad how to use the TV? We didn’t have a remote before, so we don’t know how to use it. And do you know how to turn on the new washing machine? Oh, is this my new bed? It’s so pretty! Hurray! Let’s go check everything out!

Alexey recalls that fateful day with horror. He survived by miracle. If not for divine intervention, his son Giorgi would have been orphaned, and his wife Ketevan widowed. God! We live on the edge every day, and nothing is certain! Aleksi: That day started like any other. I went to the field, as usual. But fate had a terrible trial in store for me. An enraged bull attacked me suddenly, without warning. The animal threw me off my horse and tossed me around like a toy, and it seemed like it was going to crush me with its powerful hooves. That day, I was born again. Let’s unite and support the family of Aleksi Dimitrishvili. By helping others, we help ourselves as well, bringing us closer to God and to each other.

“If I die today, my grandson will die tomorrow, or maybe he will be buried alive with me, because nobody wants him but me! Nobody wants him… his mother left him, and his father left him. They left their sick child and found happiness elsewhere” – says Malardo and hides her eyes. She is ashamed for Soso’s mother and the father. Who needs a sick man? And they are still young, they can give birth to new and healthy children!
