Adopt a Greek, Change a Life






In the first weeks of 2010, there was renewed anxiety about excessive national debt. Some politicians have sought to attribute blame for the crisis to hedge funds and other speculators have stated that institutions bailed out with public funds are exploiting the economic crisis in Greece.

Whatever the cause of the crisis, whoever is to blame, its victims are is obvious: the Greeks.  Greeks in Greece face a perilous future, but with your generous support, they can be given the chance to prosper.

Your tax-deductible contribution of just $60.00 (42.00 €) a month connects your Greek with a loving Greek Sponsorship Program that provides:
  • Food and clean water
  • Medical care
  • Daily siestas
  • Educational opportunities
  • Most important of all, your sponsored Greek will feel the love and support of a total stranger.
George needs your help
When you sponsor a Greek, you'll receive a Greek sponsorship packet, including the photo and personal story of a Greek in desperate need of your help.

A Greek like George, who has been deeply effected by the economic crisis in Greece.

For years after the death of his grandparents, George relied on their pensions for the extra money his family needed to survive.

Sadly, when the Greek government learned about pension cheques being sent to deceased persons, George was suddenly cut off from the essential support that the pensions provided his family.

George isn't alone.  Nearly 100,000 Greek families have faced similar cuts to their monthly incomes.

With your help, George and Greeks like him can get back on their feet and once again start to live as valued, contributing members of European society.


When Greeks find out they've been sponsored, the joy they feel is overwhelming . Just knowing that someone across the globe cares means more than you can imagine.

Sponsoring a Greek will profoundly change the life of your Greek, and will change your own life as well.
For your tax-deductible donation of just $60.00 a month (the price of a designer coffee a day), you can help change a life.
