Elli Avxentiou, a journalist, honors her grandmother Eleni Matthaiou by organizing a blood donation at each memorial. This heartfelt promise turns memory into a gift of life.
This year’s blood donation is set for Sunday, January 18, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at the Cultural Center of Agia Paraskevi in Livadia, Larnaca.
Elli Avxentiou shared in a post: “When we needed blood, one of you gave it to us… and we are grateful for that. On January 18, 2026, from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, a blood donation will be held in memory of my grandmother, Eleni Matthaiou, at the Cultural Center of Agia Paraskevi in Livadia, Larnaca. This marks the 5th consecutive blood donation as it has been five years since she ‘winked at me and flew away,’ as pure Eleni, with the promise ‘forever together.’ We look forward to seeing you.”
