Help Jillian Collins Courcy with handicap access

Donation protected
Jillian was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's when she was 32 yrs old. She is a single mom with two boys in high school. She is now confined to a wheelchair.

Brady, Jillian, & Sam - Christmas 2020

Jill cannot afford a house that is fully handicap accessible, so we're trying to help raise the funds she needs to afford some basic upgrades that will help keep her safe.

At a minimum, she needs handicap access for a wheelchair to her house and upgrades to her bathroom so she can safely use it; especially the shower.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a male dominated disease which more often effects older people. There hasn't been any research about the impacts of PD on young women. Because of this, Jillian has endured 4 brain surgeries and a full hysterectomy in the last 7 years. Even with these efforts to minimize the effects of PD, Jillian has become more and more immobile and now depends on her mom and sons daily to complete some of her most basic needs. Parkinson's is progressive and incurable. It is not fatal; it continues to evolve and further debilitate your nervous system.

Jillian has not been upstairs in her house to say goodnight to her boys in over 5 years. She faithfully attends her sons basketball games, events and church.

Jillian desperately needs these handicap access improvements to her house. Any donations will be used to help Jill and her family improve the access and safety of her living conditions. 

Thank you for anything you may be able to do to help!
