Back on our feet: Stavros and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Thessaloniki
A single father in Thessaloniki needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Stavros retrains.
🇬🇷 Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece1,860 views
After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $670
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Stavros. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Kasarani.
Good luck, Stavros. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Busan
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Stavros?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about course fees and exam costs, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Stavros. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Stay strong, Stavros. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Stavros. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ludhiana!
Praying for you, Stavros. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up.
wishing you peace, Stavros. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Chiang Mai this morning.
