My Son

  1. Hi classielady54,

    I'm so sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. I can imagine how concerning it must be to not have adequate care for him. I wanted to share an article with you regarding tips for paying for Parkinson's treatment:

    There are some assistance programs and several non-profit organizations that may help with healthcare costs. I hope you find this article helpful. Please feel free to come back to this site anytime. Thank you for being part of our community!

    Take care!
