Evangelos was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Athens University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,800 short. my father has been in and out of Athens University Hospital since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Evangelos struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Evangelos won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,220 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
