When the Greeks do magic!
He is only 18 months old and can barely say a word.
He suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, a rare congenital neuromuscular disorder that can soon cost him his life. He has managed to unite a whole country in only a few days. His name is Panagiotis-Rafael Glossiotis and he is already a superstar!
His allies are his parents and every single person, in this country called Greece, who has recently decided that this child is our child, our brother, our grandson, our everything.
The Greek Government, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Health and the Greek National Organization for the Provision of Healthcare Services have refused him hope. The only way to survival is a trip to Boston, and his ticket, the Zolgensma medicine, a venture that costs 3.000.000 Euros.
The state refuses to provide for his medical expenses, and will not negotiate the price so that it becomes somewhat more bearable.
TV channels will not broadcast the matter and his parents are desperate.
And then, there comes a tiny sparkle, that slowly, but steadily, turns into a flame, and suddenly an unstoppable blaze!

And we stand beside you, proud of you and proud of each other, because together, we have already raised 2.138.000 Euros in just a few weeks!
