I never imagined I would ask strangers for help, but today I’m trying to save the social security contributions of workers from my small shop in Greece.
My name is Giannis. I ran a small shop through the Greek economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. These years were extremely hard—reduced customers, forced closures, and financial strain made it impossible to keep the business fully afloat.
Today, I am facing a debt of €30,000 to the Greek social security system (EFKA) and KEAO. This debt is not just mine: it includes contributions for employees who worked in my shop. These contributions cover their insurance and future pensions, and the debt is growing every month. Without help, their social security coverage and retirement benefits risk being lost.
The goal of this campaign is to pay down the debt enough to enter a sustainable payment plan, protecting the social security and pension rights of those who worked honestly and loyally during the crisis and pandemic. Every donation moves us closer to preserving what is rightfully theirs.
Even a small donation—or simply sharing this campaign—can make a real difference. Your support can help prevent the loss of social security contributions and honor the efforts of people who stood by a small business during its hardest times.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Giannis
