Mother Elena: Forgive me for bothering you and asking so much, but isn’t this a shared cause of ours. I won’t hide it—I’m relying on you again… (Smiles) We’re always in need of medications, diapers, wet wipes, and cleaning supplies for the bath and toilet. To care for our three bedridden residents, I use a special cleansing foam. Maybe someone would like to donate a piano to the shelter? It doesn’t have to be new, just in good working condition. Our grandmothers need more joy—this would truly entertain them. And who knows, maybe someone would even give a little concert, like the students from the Georgian-German School “Skhivi.” Oh, what a wonderful day that was! I’ve also been thinking of enclosing the area where our residents sit during the day, to shield them from rain and wind. Metal-plastic would be best. I’m seeking help with this as well. The “Lazaret” shelter regularly needs medications, diapers, hygiene items, and cleaning supplies. Visiting the grandmothers in person is a lovely idea! This day will bring them so much joy and become a lasting memory!

Gulo has already cried her eyes out – she sees nothing and no one. But when someone comes to the nursing home, she asks them to take out three portraits from the shelf case and look at her children and grandson. And says – are they beautiful, are they good? That’s how she buried all three of them, the good and beautiful ones, and laid them in the ground. And she herself lives just to cry. Without eyes, without a home, without documents. Abandoned by the dead and the only living daughter but found by kind people.

It’s total darkness around her. 89-year-old, lonely Clara cannot open her eyes. She sits by the table and waits for someone to come in and carry her to her bed. She cannot navigate in the darkness without help. She can’t find her bed, which is quite close by, but she doesn’t understand how to get to it. She is lost. She sits and waits.

On a New Year’s winter evening, when we friends pour glasses, laugh and rejoice, they have nothing to eat and it’s very cold.

Anzor Kikvadze is 68 years old. Agree, it is not so important that a person could not be at least someone insignificant to take care of himself!

Elderly people need care and attention like babies and they express their joy similarly. You cannot fascinate them with valuable items. For complete happin
