Hi HLP,
We’re so sorry to hear about the challenges your family is facing. There is no easy answer or fix, sadly, but the good news is that intelligent, determined, fiercely driven people are working every day to find a cure. And you can help. Just have a look at our website at Parkinsons.org.uk for information about Parkinson’s as well as ways you can help raise funds, educate your community, and understand better what your dad – and your mum – are going through.
In addition to this we have a free and confidential helpline, on 0808 800 0303, staffed with advisors who can assist with a range of needs, including financial and mental health support for carers in your mum’s position, so do reach out to them, and perhaps have your mum speak to them as well. They are friendly and supportive and may surprise you with the ways they can help.
We hope these tools can provide some support for your family during this trying time.
With our best wishes and warmest welcome,
Jason
