Georgakopoulos New Years Fire
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/?p=1001905
On the first day of 2020 The Georgakopoulos family came home this morning to find their life’s work burnt to the ground. An electrical fire that was started in the basement engulfed their home into flames and then to ashes.
All their personal belongings, their clothes, their childhood picture books and home movies, their icons, computers, jewelry, a lifelongs journey of home decor, winter jackets, EVERYTHING... gone... all before 2020 even started.
Dimitrios Georgakopoulos and his family spent their whole lives giving to their community. He started Athens Hellenic School educating our youths in the Chicago area in 1973. This education is not limited to Chicago, as our kids grew older they spread to other communities. They are true Greek Orthodox patriots who devoted their lives to spread Hellenism in the United States which is the base for why our American Hellenic Education Progressive Association (AHEPA) was started. Hellenism.
During this holiday season when so many of us were blessed to receive on so many different levels. I extend my request for help. In the spirit of giving, to help this family get back on their feet and recover belongings that insurance will not cover. Something that you can’t put a price tag on. Even if it’s to share this post amoungst your friends or on your local AHEPA/SONS/MAIDS/CHURCH pages. I know that the Georgakopoulos ‘ would do this for so many of us. Please join me in making sure that 2020 is a prosperous year for them. Thank you.
