Gallbladder removal for Fotini: covering what insurance won't
Fotini needs gallbladder removal at Piraeus Regional Medical Center and the family is $2,850 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇬🇷 Piraeus, Attica, Greece2,599 views
Fotini was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Piraeus Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,850 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Piraeus Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fotini struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Fotini won't be able to drive, 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 $2,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $790
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370
• Post-operative medication: $165
• Physiotherapy sessions: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $205
Every share and every dollar helps.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Piraeus.
shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Dayton
thinking of you and your family, Athanasios. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
