This day is celebrated every year on October 17th, encouraging us to stand by our fellow citizens who are facing social exclusion. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness on the impact poverty has on our society and to emphasize on the need to create a world where all people can enjoy equal rights and live with dignity.
Let us stop closing our eyes to the problem!
Let us stand by each other and co-create a society of equal opportunities!
Stylianos Mastrokyriakakis is a 55 year-old man who lives in Crete. After an acute ischemic cerebral episode that he suffered in June of 2020, he is still struggling to get back on his feet, since he and his family are unable to afford the cost for his physiotherapy treatments.
Mr. Mastrokyriakakis has spent most of his adult life working as a farmer in the rural area of Crete, in order to raise his four children. In 2009, he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He immediately underwent surgery and radiation treatments, but due to his condition, he had to quit working. In May of 2019, he was once again hospitalized due to a heart attack. All of these years, his wife and children have never left his side, while supporting him in every way possible.
Due to the acute ischemic cerebral episode that he recently suffered, he needs care around the clock, provided by his wife. As a consequence, she is not able to work in order to provide for her family. The attending physicians have strongly recommended that he underwent a series of physiotherapy sessions in order to get back on his feet. Unfortunately, the family cannot afford these treatments. Due to the severe health problems that he has been facing for the past year and a half, Mr. Mastrokyriakakis doesn’t have a job or health insurance. His condition remains critical and if he doesn’t get the right treatments, the damage might become irreversible!
Update 10.12.2020
We are happy to inform you that we have received an appreciation letter from Manolis Mastrokyriakakis, who updated us on his father’s condition. After daily receiving the necessary treatments by a specialized medical stuff, his health has shown improvement.
Since our first post, hundreds of people have responded to this family’s call for help. Mr. Mastrokyriakakis still has a long way to go, but thanks to your defining contribution, we will keep on supporting this family for as long as needed!
Today, as well as every Wednesday, the “Act of Kindness” organization collects fresh fruit and vegetables, donated by fruit stands at the farmers’ market in the Toumpa area, in order to offer them to multi-child families in need!
We would like to kindly thank the representatives of the non-profit organization “Boroume”, for their initiative and for a prosperous collaboration.
