In late July 2026, popular Greek singer Nikos Oikonomopoulos contributed €10,000 to fund a specialized hand operation and follow-up treatment for a young boy named Giorgos. 

In early August, international footballer Tasos Chatzigiovanis, a winger for Omonia FC, donated €12,500 through the charity ‘Paidiaki Chara’ to cover the medical and surgical costs for Dimitris, a child battling stage-4 neuroblastoma. Chatzigiovanis, who has a long-standing involvement with the charity, contacted Dimitris’s mother and intended to meet the family in person. This contribution fully satisfied the funding requirements, concluding the fundraising campaign.

By late August, it was reported that Dimitris had passed away following his struggle with the disease. Chatzigiovanis shared a tribute on social media to express his grief and offer condolences to the boy’s mother and family.
