Help Paraskevi save Willow - surgery needed
A rescue greyhound named Willow needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $1,050 bill the family can't cover.

Willow is my rescue greyhound of thirteen years. On 4 July we rushed to the Athens Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,050.
They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Willow is more than a pet - Willow walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $165 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to the Athens Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $610
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $120
• Medication and follow-up visits: $140
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $180
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Paraskevi?
Thank you. If you're in Athens I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Stay strong. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Put this on a community board in Parma this morning.
rooting for you, Paraskevi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Athens
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Louisville so I could bring a meal. Love from Warsaw
Hang in there, Paraskevi. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Paraskevi.
Sure. The biggest one is emergency surgery, $610. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Sending love, Paraskevi. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
hope the recovery goes smoothly. Sent it to 5 people at work.
Sending good thoughts, Paraskevi. Poor Willow, hope they feel better soon. Don't give up
sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 34 people at work. Love from Miami.
Sending strength, Paraskevi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Tijuana but we're thinking of you. Take care
good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Rotterdam.
Hope things get better soon, Paraskevi. Hope you get there. Greetings from Adama.
