“This is not a home, but a pile of stones and iron! It’s a dangerous place! Be careful when you pass by! Don’t enter yourselves, but leave a piece of your soul here! We must stop this time bomb. In these ruins, which disgrace our nation, two unfortunate women eke out an existence – 64-year-old Asmat and her seriously ill daughter! If Asmat dies, her dearly beloved daughter, who is completely helpless and unwanted by anyone else in this world, would immediately follow her. She is like a 3-year-old baby! She can only love her mother. And the mother, who needs help herself, bathes, dresses, feeds, and puts her seriously ill daughter to sleep.

If my advice can save even a few women in Georgia, I’ll find peace in heaven! Because cancer cunningly creeps in from various parts of the body and hits hard when it’s already too late for treatment!

Ketevan (Saba’s Mom): “Comfort me, reassure me! Tell me that children don’t die from crying all the time, do they?” Help me! I don’t know what is happening to my son! He cries all day long… then he gets tired and falls asleep. And then it starts all over again. And immediately bombards me with a barrage of questions: “Do you know if people can die from crying too much? Can children die from tears? And is it not dangerous if you don’t eat and cry all the time? Tell me, tell me, please!”

And I realize that without having a doctor’s diagnosis and the funds for a proper examination abroad, she is not asking me a question. She’s just clinging to any shred of hope like a drowning person, desperately seeking reassurance from me, just something comforting. Yet, quietly, I turn away, trying not to break down, not wanting to provoke more distress in a family where tears already flow continuously!

In the deep, dark corner of a dilapidated house, within an empty room, lies a father of a large family. His eyes are full of sadness and fear for each member of his family. His tears are the most bitter in the world! During every choking episode, he bids a farewell to his wife and children! So terrible! His story is not just a personal story. It is a tragedy and a cry of all the sick and suffering in Georgia! The ways of the Lord are mysterious, my friends! We all understand this wisdom! We can’t count on anyone in Georgia except ourselves! Let’s lend a hand to the family because we are their last hope!

A mother, burying her 17-year-old son, will never recover from the tears! Why did you leave me, my boy?! Life spared no mercy, and after the death of my son, I became a walking corpseI took my dear and beloved son’s lifeless body down from the noose with my own hands. Lord, why is this happening to me? May God spare anyone from experiencing such a thing! Shorena is the unhappiest woman in the world! She took the lifeless body of her 17-year-old firstborn son down from the noose, buried him in the cold ground, and interred her own heart along with him. She is still alive because, despite the tragedy, she has her daughter and mother to take care of. Shorena: On this fragile earth, only one being keeps me going – my daughter. She was only five years old at the time. She saw everything too… Rushed over at my scream, poor thing! She extended her little arms to him, saying, ‘Luka, come to me,’ and that was it – she hasn’t uttered another word since then!

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!
