Imagine, on top of your more than full-time job, volunteering all your spare time and donating your own money to help strangers. Actress and IRC Voice Piper Perabo writes about the heroic Greek volunteers who have been welcoming hundreds of thousands of refugees.
"Imagine: You’re at home after a long day of work when the coast guard knocks on your door and asks, 'Can you take in all of these soaking wet, terrified people for the night?'
Imagine, on top of your more than full-time job, volunteering all your spare time and donating your own money to help strangers, all the while to raise your family under austerity measures imposed by the government for the last five years.
This is a reality for many Greeks right now on the island of Lesbos."
