Thessaloniki

I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After the death of his spouse Spyridon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Spyridon desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Spyridon worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $290 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Stavros

Update from Thessaloniki: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 92% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($178 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
