You know what happens to a person when they don’t eat for a day? Or two days? Or three? What if that person is a 10-year-old girl? And her 9-year-old sister? And there are five of them in the family! We’ll tell you right now. We always tell you everything.
Mari (10 years old): On the first day, it was still okay. It was just hard to fall asleep. The smell of bread kept haunting me all the time. On the second day, my stomach and head started hurting. I can’t remember which one hurt more. In the evening, I even felt like crying. But I held back my tears so that I wouldn’t show them to Mom. I’m the oldest, after all! If I had cried, everyone else would have cried too. On the third day, everything sounded muffled in my ears, and there were gray spots in my vision.

A mere sip of water could prove fatal for two-year-old Gabriel. His soft palate didn’t develop properly, and he can’t cry due to a congenital heart defect. For the past two years, he’s been living on the edge. No one knows when or why this ticking time bomb will go off. He can’t be left unattended for even a moment! He might choke on his own tears while crying or even lose consciousness. God, please spare any mother from experiencing such a trial.

Maya lost the ability to walk during her pregnancy. She gave birth to a wonderful son, Saba, but she herself stopped walking. It turned out that it was due to inflammation in her spinal cord. “For these four years, while my Saba was growing, I couldn’t even dress myself,” Maia says. “I couldn’t even straighten a sock on my foot. I couldn’t stand up or walk to the bathroom. I was just alive and breathing. What kind of life is that?” We will show you the results of the tests and treatments that Maia received thanks to the friends of the Chernovetskyi Fund.

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.

“There is such a Georgian proverb where one dead person asks the second to bring him to the grave – this is about me and my wife,” Akaki says and looks sadly at Dali. They cut off her leg due to diabetes, she is blind and feels unwell, and Akaki had an open heart surgery – bypass surgery after a heart attack, and his leg is broken. They operated on his leg two times, but his bone has not healed yet. They did not take the risk to operate on for the third time – they said his heart could not stand it. He barely hobbles on crutches, and his wife moves on a wheelchair, but she doesn’t even know where she can roll – she doesn’t see anything. They have no one but each other, and it’s hard to say which one of them suffers more.

When there is no money even to buy bread, Iuza takes the most valuable thing he has – The Order of Honor – and looks at it with annoyance. What if you sell it? For how many days there will be money to buy bread or medications? But people like Iuza don’t sell the honor. “There are things, that are not for sale. And since they are not for sale, then they are no longer things – but the meaning of life,” – says Iuza.

And I keep my word.

The worst thing is – when a person is alive, but he does not exist anymore,” the grandmother of the children – Ketino – says, holding back her tears.

Nino calls this place “the palace”. When you have nowhere to go with your two-year-old son, a roof over your head is both a home and a fortress for you. No matter if this place is completely unsuitable for living. Nino, as if in a nightmare, recalls how she left home with a baby in her arms and lived in a shelter for victims of domestic violence for one year: “Not everyone gets the kind of family he dreams about. Dreams eventually cease to visit you, when you have only one thought in your head – how to feed your child.”
