Greek Actor Collects Cryptocurrency Donations to Support Victims of Fire in Athens

Argyris Xafis, a famous Greek actor, shows supports for victims of a horrible fire near Athens by collecting donations in cryptocurrency.

The fire broke forth on Monday, July 23, forcing people to leave their homes and run for their lives. The number of injured is constantly increasing, the death toll has already hit 80 people, with many others missing. The fire has spread to villages to the West and North-East of Athens.

Argyris Xafis started the charity campaign on his Twitter page on July, 25 as he realized that lots of people have lost everything in a blink of an eye and showed a willingness to help.
