The Panhellenic Association of Professional Football Players (ΠΣΑΠΠ) gave an electric wheelchair to Dimitris Drakakis, a fan of the Iraklis football club who has a disability.

Drakakis faces serious health problems and a medical assessment determined his disability rate is 95 percent. The ΠΣΑΠΠ stated they felt a deep sense of solidarity and social responsibility when making the donation. The wheelchair will help Drakakis move around more easily and increase his independence.

Alongside the wheelchair donation, a fundraising campaign called “Praxis Agapis” is underway to purchase a prosthetic limb for Drakakis, which would further improve his quality of life. People can find information and contribute to the campaign through a link provided by the ΠΣΑΠΠ. The association emphasized that solidarity is the only way forward.
