Omonia footballer donates €12,500 for child’s cancer treatment
Omonia footballer Tasos Hadjigiovanis donated €12,500 to cover the medical expenses of a child with stage four neuroblastoma.
Nicosia, Cyprus. Omonia footballer Tasos Hadjigiovanis has donated €12,500 to cover the medical expenses of Demetris, a child battling stage four neuroblastoma, ending a fundraising campaign on Saturday.
The charity Children’s Joy said the donation covered the full amount required and called on the public to make no further deposits.
Fundraising target reached
Children’s Joy said the donation came after three days of fundraising, during which members of the public also contributed towards the child’s medical costs.
“Sometimes miracles have a name,” the organisation said in an announcement, identifying Hadjigiovanis as the donor.
Continued support
The charity said Hadjigiovanis had supported its work for several years and had previously contributed to efforts assisting children in need.
It said the footballer had spoken directly with Demetris’ mother and planned to meet the family in person when he returns to Cyprus.
Children’s Joy thanked Hadjigiovanis for his continued involvement, saying his support extended beyond the financial contribution.
