Piraeus
Kalliopi was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at the Piraeus Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Kalliopi is 34, worked as a shop owner until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Piraeus Oncology Institute 4 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $4,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150 • Scans and lab work: $560 • Transport to the Piraeus Oncology Institute: $250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,090 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Kyriakos

Updates from Kyriakos

  1. Small update. $1,620 so far, I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work.

  2. Update from Piraeus: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
