Alex, who collected scrap metal to buy food for his pregnant mother, now cries tears of happiness – the child's dream has come true thanks to you, kind people!
My name is Aleksi. I'm 11 years old, but I'm already the breadwinner in our family! My father used to beat my mom, and now he's in prison!
It's embarrassing to talk about my dreams when I know my younger brothers and sisters and my pregnant mother are hungry right now, and we don't even have bread at home.
But since you offered to help us, and I know you will, I won't refuse to tell my story, even though it's hard for me to believe that such a thing is possible!
I was born and raised in the village. My big dream is to visit the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, at least once. Do you know how much I dream about it? When I close my eyes at night, I imagine Tbilisi. My classmates went on a trip to Tbilisi, but my mom didn't have the money, so I couldn't go.
And one more thing - I would love to go to school once in new clothes, to have a phone and a computer! And me and my unfortunate brothers and sisters wouldn't look poor either! I really feel awkward talking about my dreams when I know my younger brothers and sisters and my beloved and pregnant mother with the 6th child are hungry right now, and we don't even have bread at home.
But since you offered to help us, - he turns to the correspondent of the Fund, - and I know you'll keep your word, I won't refuse to tell my story, even though it's hard for me to believe that strangers care about our sorrow!
