Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, and joining me to support the lifesaving mission of Doctors Without Borders especially in Greece where a financial and refugee crisis has the country in a state of emergency.

Every day, thousands of refugees are arriving on Greek shores. Most of the men, women and children are fleeing from bloodshed and destruction in Syria. A five year long civil war has forced them from their homes. They have suffered through dangerous terrane, extreme weather, overcrowding, abuse from human traffickers, and border police to get to Greece. Now, the countries north of Greece refuse to let the refugees cross their borders causing a bottleneck in Greece. With the EU’s austerity measures in Greece, the country is in desperate need of help from humanitarian organizations.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an independent international medical humanitarian organization that provides aid to people in some 60 countries whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.

I'm raising funds and awareness to support its response to emergencies in the country of Greece, my family’s homeland.  Your donation will be put to work immediately to deliver urgent medical care including treatment for malnutrition, emergency surgery, and lifesaving vaccinations for people around the world.

Thank you for your support and for getting involved. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated (and Tax deductible!)!  You can learn more about its work by visiting www.doctorswithoutborders.org.

Sincerely,

Kalliopi Megali
