A shocking story has seen the light of day, with an elderly couple in Cell to live in the car as he cannot afford it rent of a house.
This issue, with the elderly having made their car their home in Kypseli, shows how big is the problem of high rents in our country, with the two moving.
As reported by the Mega Developments show now, the homeless couple has been sleeping and waking up in a car for three whole years.
The two are low pensioners and with their pensions they cannot find an affordable house to rent.
“Here sits the husband. We have a flashlight, a radio, we put the disc and we eat” Mrs. Akrivis described. “A house to get into, I can’t do it anymore, I’m desperate. It ends up nowhere. We are decent people,” he added.
“We may be homeless, but we are decent”, are the words of 70-year-old Mr. Christos, who suffers from diabetes and emphasizes that he needs “a house to go into, I can’t do it anymore, I’m tired, I’m desperate”.
The neighborhood loves them, watches over them and takes care of them, but this is not enough. Now all they want is an onion over their head.
“Very difficult. I’m sad. Let’s find a cheap house. We can find a small house,” they say.
