Heartwood Refuge

Our beloved, teacher, Venerable Pannadipa, has end-stage Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s which has necessitated increasing levels of care and equipment. He is in hospice and funds are needed to support skilled overnight care which will allow him to stay in his hermitage.  At this time, Dipa is well in spirit, and full of the same Dharma and equanimity we all have always come to know.

Venerable Pannavati and Kaye have been providing compassionate loving and excellent care for Pannadipa during this time. The physical toll can be taxing . They would benefit from having Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA’s) and special equipment to help them with Pannadipa’s care.  A CNA could  assist with some of the physical aspects of care as well as giving Kaye and Venerable Pannavati an occasional much needed break.

Thank you, Brian & Nancy.
