Campaign Story
15-year-old Orestis was diagnosed, 3 months ago, with Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage IIIB, a type of lymphatic cancer that destroys the immune system. After noticing some “suspicious” nodules on his neck, Orestis sought medical attention. Following the diagnosis, he was immediately transferred to a public, oncology hospital in the city of Athens, where he was subjected to all the necessary treatments according to the treatment protocol. So far, he has been subjected to 3 chemo rounds, while he is receiving medical care and staying at the hospital’s guesthouse free of charge.
However, Orestis still has a long road ahead of him. His mother has never left his side, while she is staying with him at the hospital’s guesthouse. This woman needs our support in order to provide for her family, since she will not be able to work until her son completes his treatment plan. Orestis has three siblings that are left behind. The cost of their transportation to and from Athens, the family’s daily expenses, the cost of the medical expendables and medicinal supplies, as well as the cost of various diagnostic tests, are taking a great financial toll on the mother.
Together, we can offer a helping hand to Orestis and his family, throughout their ordeal! Any contribution, big or small, can alleviate their struggle!

New update on the health of Orestes battling cancer! We continue our fight to support the family!
<p>Orestis continues his daily struggle, as he recently completed the fourth cycle of his chemotherapy treatments, which although painful we hope will bring positive results. This week is the week of recovery and Orestes and his mother returned home for a few days until he started the next cycle of chemotherapy. Orestes had a great longing to see his house, his room, his brothers and to get strength to continue!<br />
The 15-year-old Orestes was diagnosed 3 months ago with stage IIIB Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a serious disease of the lymphatic system, progressing into immune cancer. Orestes’ struggle is predicted to be long and his mother will be constantly by his side for as long as the needs of his treatments require. The support of all of us is necessary for Orestes’ mother to be able to cope with the maintenance costs of their family for as long as they will have to stay away from their place without work. Orestes has 3 siblings who have been left behind. Frequent trips to and from Athens, food expenses, consumable medical care materials and frequent diagnostic tests burden the family daily. Thanks to the valuable participation of all of us, a large part of the above needs were secured. We continue our fight to ensure all the necessary expenses for the entire period of his treatments!<br />
All together we can help Orestes and his family to stand on their feet during this difficult time! Let’s make their fight easier with a little move!</p><div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' >

Mission accomplished! Together, we have managed to cover the urgent needs of Orestis’ family, for the duration of his treatments!
<p>15-year-old Orestis has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage IIIB, a type of lymphatic cancer that destroys the immune system. His family has been facing severe financial hardship, since their daily expenses combined with the expenses that have surfaced due to Orestis’ health condition, have brought the family to a dead end, while the mother had to quit her job in order to dedicate herself to her son’s care.<br />
However, thanks to your defining contribution, we have managed to cover the urgent needs of Orestis’ family, for as long as he will be away from home!<br />
Orestis has recently completed his fourth chemo round, while he will be spending the next few days in the warmth and comfort of his home, until he goes back to the hospital in order to be subjected to the next chemo round.<br />
On behalf of his family, we would like to kindly thank all of you for your defining support. We will keep on standing by this family’s side for everything they might need. Orestis is a true fighter and we are confident that he will soon win this battle and return home for good! </p>
