Yes Messages only

I agree that Hero Story may use what I write to get in touch with me and see whether it can help.

You can ask us to delete whatever you sent, at any time. See our privacy notice.

We got it.

We will reply within 5 working days, the way you chose. If you are in danger right now, call 112.

What happens next

Within 5 working days we reply. If it is urgent (danger, children outside at night, violence), the same day.
We meet in person, with no camera. We look together at what is missing and what it costs.
If we can help, we suggest how. If not us, we put you in touch with the service that can.
Nothing is published unless you want it to be. Help does not depend on it.

What we will never ask you

Your full address, tax or social security number, ID, IBAN, diagnosis, criminal record, residence papers, or photos.

Are you a social worker?

If you know someone who needs help, write to us on their behalf, with their consent. Choose “I am a social worker or from an organisation” in the first step.

We meet people on the streets of Athens and solve, together, the problem that holds them back. One small act at a time.
