They are afraid of their house, they are afraid that the roof, which they could not fix after the fire, will collapse on their heads. They miraculously managed to escape from the fire, but they will certainly die under their roof. “It will probably bring relief to many people,” – Gulnazi says. There is no irony in her words. She really thinks so. She also thinks that their family is superfluous, because no one cares about them.

Iamze (the mother of these two adorable kids!): “I’m an orphan with living parents! My children have no grandparents. My husband is in prison for the second time! He deceived me when we got married. At first, he stole, and then he turned out to be a sadist and beat me so hard in front of the children that now I’m very afraid for their mental health! And I understand: he came to me because of housing and wanted to kill me! And the children… He never loved our children! He would give them away to strangers. Such children!!! I’m not asking for anything for myself, but I won’t be able to live if my children are not saved from hunger and cold in winter! They shouldn’t repeat my terrible fate!”

Every evening the children say these words like a prayer, but by standing in front of the portrait of their mother, not the icon. They tell her how they behaved, what did they do… Sometimes they even ask her for help. Their mother died two years ago of a terrible disease – cancer!

“My three-month-old daughter suffocated under the lifeless body of her mother …”

Talks about mom end with tears. 5-year-old Anna-Maria and 10-year-old Giorgi recently lost their mother. “She cried a lot, coughed a lot, and then flew to the sky,” says Anano. She is sure that it was her mother who asked us to come to their family. “She sent you to us. Will you tell her that we miss her very much? And if I draw a picture, will you give it to her?”

Tea made a living room in a former public WC. One can do anything when he has nowhere to live with his three children. The taxi driver dropped them and their belongings off at night in an empty field near an abandoned building – as she asked – and hurried to leave. They can kill you and stab with a knife in such an abandoned place. And she crossed herself and stepped into this empty, dark building with baby Gabriel, five-year-old Shio, and nine-year-old Tekla.
