Please come beside my dad Skip
Donation protected
My name is Freya Simmons and I am a caregiver for my dad Skip Simmons. He is 71 years old and has been battling Huntington's Disease for the last 19 years. Huntington's Disease is a neurodegenerative illness that is a combination of ALS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. His condition has progressed so much that he now needs full-time care. Currently he lives alone with caregivers and myself coming in everyday and night to care for him. I am having an extremely hard time paying for his care and his bills that have accumulated. We have gone through his entire 401k and his Social Security is not enough to cover his care needs. I have become overwhelmed. My dad is beyond special to me . He has been my biggest support and safety net throughout my life and I would like to be that for him. He is a very generous and kind person. I wish I could do more to help him but I have found I cannot continue to do it alone. I appreciate any help that would be offered as I am sure my dad would as well.
