Stressed by a lack of income and no way to support his wife or four children, Yiannis, who was in hospital with intestinal issues, suffered a fatal heart attack and stroke, according to a family friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have set up a bank account with the aim of supporting his four children, providing food and clothes and helping their needs,\u201d Demetris Georgiades, told the Paphos Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four children range in age from 4 to 18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family&#8217;s finances are precarious due to the closure of their caf\u00e9, and substantial debts incurred relating to one of the couples children&#8217;s medical needs. A large fire also severely damaged their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight years ago, Yiannis also experienced problems with his spine and traveled abroad for treatment. Here he developed sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body&#8217;s response to an infection damages its own tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt would be really wonderful if the community could deposit a few euros, which will mean a great deal to this family that have been through so much,\u201d Georgiades said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bank Details: Marina Ioannide, Hellenic bank, 501-10-525698-01<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bejay Browne.
