Konstantinos Rigalos, my friend, recently experienced a serious accident that has turned his life upside down. After slipping on black ice, he suffered a fractured right shoulder and now faces the difficult reality of needing surgery. This injury has left him unable to work, which is especially hard for someone as dedicated and passionate about his job as Kostas. Many of you may know him from The Terrace or Avra, where his love for coffee and his warm presence have touched many.

Unfortunately, the surgery Kostas needs is not covered by insurance, and the costs are significant. As his friend, I am reaching out to our community for support. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his medical expenses and help ease the financial burden during this challenging time. Your generosity will not only help cover the cost of surgery but also speed up his recovery so he can return to the work and people he loves.

If you know Kostas—as a friend, coworker, or simply as the person who made your day a little brighter with a great cup of coffee—please consider donating. Your support will make a real difference in his journey back to health. Thank you so much for your kindness and for helping Kostas get back on his feet. Efkalisto.
