John's life with Parkinson's
Donation protected
Hi everyone. If you told me that I would have to start a GoFundMe page for myself at any point I would have said there's no way. Well here we are, I started to gofundme for myself to ask for some help. In 2014 I went to the doctor with what I thought was carpal tunnel due to the fact that I could not type very well and I had some pain in my hands. Well I was as surprised as anybody to get a Parkinson's diagnosis and at the time didn't know very much about it. Well as the years have progressed and the disease has as well I have found out that it affects more than just some tremors. It affects everything from your movement to your senses to your memory to your emotions and many other things. I find now that it's become more difficult than I realized to do certain things and although I have continue to keep going I have struggled to keep up with some expenses. Currently I am without a car and the programs designed to help during tough times have not come through. Like I said, I've never thought I'd be reaching out like this but I do need some assistance as I continue to find on days where I'm having off periods it is difficult to move it all sometimes. I really do appreciate everything that everybody's done for me at this point and I'm internally grateful for any additional help you can give.
