Hi, we're Alyssa and Alex, and we're asking for your help in caring for the people who care for our Yiayia.

Our Yiayia lives in a nursing home in a small village in the mountains of Cyprus. She has late-stage Alzheimer's, and there is a team of just eleven nurses who look after her, and all the seniors in the village, with a tenderness we could never repay. Being an ocean away, we sleep easier knowing she is surrounded by people who treat her like family.

The home is small, and it depends entirely on the generosity of its own village. Now they are working to install solar panels to lower their monthly electricity bill, so more of what they raise can go where it matters most: the care of their residents. We want to help make that happen with a large donation.

Here in Raleigh, we've been selling Avgolemono, Yiayia's favorite soup. A bowl of lemony, comforting warmth that tastes like home to us. We've loved sharing it with our neighbors, and now we're opening the fundraiser to friends and family around the world. Every gift, big or small, helps a village take care of its own.

From our family to theirs, thank you.
