Help me pay for hip replacement surgery at Piraeus University Hospital
Aikaterini needs hip replacement surgery at Piraeus University Hospital and the family is $3,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

In October I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Piraeus University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,100 short.
Doctors at Piraeus University Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $3,100 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $210
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,090
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Aikaterini. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 23 people at work. All the best.
