In Greece, nearly 1 in 5 seniors over the age of 65 struggles to access essential health services due to cost. Many face heartbreaking choices: sacrificing life-saving medicines to afford basic needs like food and shelter. This challenge is compounded by the fact that 23.9% of elderly Greeks are at risk of poverty or social exclusion, with 58% suffering from chronic conditions that require consistent care and medication.

This holiday season, you can change this reality.

The Hellenic Initiative (THI), in partnership with the non-profit GIVMED: Share Medicine, Share Life, is working to deliver vital medicines and health products to socially vulnerable seniors across Greece. GIVMED’s network of 33 shelters and 76 social pharmacies ensures that these critical resources reach those who need them most, transforming lives and restoring hope.

Your contribution can make a profound and immediate difference:

• $50 provides 25 boxes of essential medicines to seniors in need.
• $100 supports 2 shelters across Greece with 50 medicine boxes that will reach vulnerable elderly individuals.
• $200 ensures that 10 elderly individuals receive the care and medicines they desperately require.
• $500 secures orthopedic, sanitary, and hygiene materials for 25 elderly individuals in fragile health, supporting healthcare in 5 different elderly shelters.

For every euro raised, GIVMED returns 5 euros’ worth of medicines and health products to society, amplifying the impact of your generosity. By supporting this initiative, you’re not just providing medicine—you’re safeguarding health, preserving dignity, and restoring hope for some of Greece’s most vulnerable citizens.

Together, we can ensure that no senior faces these challenges alone. Let’s bring light, health, and happiness to Greece’s elderly this holiday season.
