If you’ve ever been to Stateline Diner or Mahwah Bar and Grill, chances are you’ve met Yiannis Mantzatris. And if you haven’t, you should know that Yiannis isn’t just a familiar face- he is a staple of our community, a bright light whose kindness has touched countless lives.

Always kind, sweet, generous and quick with a smile, he has brought positivity, and joy to so many over the decades since he arrived here from Greece.

Now Yiannis needs our help. He’s facing the massive challenge of a serious cancer diagnosis and the substantial medical costs associated with brain surgery, and extended treatment to follow.

This is us asking for help for a man that has touched so many lives with his compassion, humor, and kindness.

Let’s come together as the community he has brightened for so many years to show Yiannis the same love and support he’s shown all of us. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this time.
