By helping the poor, the sick and the unfortunate, you lend a helping hand not to them – but TO THE SON OF GOD!
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40)

These are the words of a young woman, Natia Toliashvili, the mother of Alexander, who can’t find a moment of peace due to his hunger. He hasn’t eaten for days, and to curb his hunger, his mother feeds him tea! Yes, you heard that right – tea is the only edible thing they have. Well, there’s also the bread from which Natia scraped off all the mold, and the bread doesn’t seem as daunting now. But the smell and taste don’t vanish. And the little one clings to it and bites it fiercely. This will be his only treat until they receive assistance. For the next few days, his mother will prepare porridge, boil pasta, maybe even manage to make soup with cabbage and greens… and after that, it’s back to bread and tea… and his mother’s songs, an attempt to shift her son’s attention even for a brief moment.

Beautiful Lika died during childbirth. She was only 18 years old. She had dreamed so much of becoming Giorgi’s mom…! Giorgi (9 years old): “I don’t even know what a mom is. I only know that I would hug her all day long! Don’t take off your jacket,” he asks the correspondent, “it’s cold for us. Outside is much warmer than at our home. When the sun is out during winter days, my grandmother and I often warm up outside! At home, we wear everything we have and huddle under a blanket! “I’m scared that either my grandmother or I will freeze at night. That’s why I’m afraid to sleep alone.”
They stand alone in this world: elderly and frail grandmother Elsa alongside 9-year-old Georgi. After the death of their mother, their father drowned his sorrows in alcohol, then contemplated suicide. However, another woman intervened, and he left for her!

The scoundrel ended up in prison, but can this bring back a loving mother to the children?!
Two years ago, Ekaterina received a terrible diagnosis – cancer! She had a mastectomy and underwent chemotherapy. The disease would recede, then return. My God, she suffered so much, the poor woman! How hard it was for her to part with her beloved and loving children before her death! But what her husband did to her is beyond comparison with even cancer. He abused her so much that he ended up in jail for it! He was a scoundrel: he never cared for his children. Vodka killed everything human in him!” Shorena (13-year-old): Mom tried to protect us and didn’t talk about a lot of things! Like all Georgian women, she never complained to anyone! But I saw it myself once after her surgery as he hit her and yelled, “When will you finally die?” When I stood up for my mom, he pushed me too. My mom used to cry a lot. She knew she had cancer, but she endured it all. I had hoped she would live longer.

In the beautiful Georgian eyes of 7-year-old Giorgi lies all the pain of our land! He is very hungry! And between him and his older brother Lasha, they only have a small piece of bread for the whole day! Giorgi is very afraid that Lasha might take it all for himself! This is how they live in this wreck of a place that can’t even be called a shed. It doesn’t even have a window. Light enters the room only through the door. The gaps in the ceiling and walls are so large that it wouldn’t even be safe to keep chicks in there! Here live, if it can be called living, two perpetually hungry children—7-year-old Giorgi and his older brother, 10-year-old Lasha—along with their nearly blind and severely ill mother, Madonna, who has been disabled since childhood.
