New York.- U.S. media gave an extensive coverage to the efforts of local Greek American Communities to help motherland Greece. Boston Globe in an article published on Saturday states that Greek-Americans in Greater Boston and across New England are gathering money and supplies to aid victims in their home country. Some are even lending out second homes they own in Greece to put roofs over the heads of families displaced by fire.George Markos, owner of Dotty and Ray's Lunch in Salem, is flying to Greece this Sunday, where he will join his wife and mother-in-law on a long-planned vacation.
Instead of relaxing, however, Markos said he plans on temporarily donating his family's house in a small village about 20 miles from Sparta.
"When I go there, I'll tell whoever's in charge that they can have my house for a year or two for people who don't have a house," said Markos, who grew up there. "Those people are hurting."
