Emergency hernia repair for Evangelia: covering what insurance won't
Evangelia needs emergency hernia repair at Piraeus General Hospital and the family is $2,950 short of the hospital's estimate.

In February I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Piraeus General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,950 short.
Doctors at Piraeus General Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200
• Post-operative medication: $155
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210
• Physiotherapy sessions: $385

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Evangelia?
Thank you. If you're in Piraeus I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Piraeus.
Good luck, Evangelia. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
sending good thoughts, Evangelia. Hope this works out for you. After 25 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
best of luck, Evangelia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Fresno.
