Support Dad's Care: Parkinson's and Dementia

Over the last six months, our family has been on a confusing and emotional journey trying to understand what was happening to our dad. At first, we believed he was experiencing mental health challenges—his behavior, mood, and ability to think clearly had changed dramatically. He was in and out of hospitals, and we were searching for answers.

Recently, we received a diagnosis that changed everything: Major Neurocognitive Disorder, with doctors strongly suspecting Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. This diagnosis has been heartbreaking and life-altering. Dad is only 65 years old—far too young for this, and it has completely shifted the course of our lives.

Because of his condition, Dad hasn’t been able to live at home consistently for the last six months. Now, we’re preparing to move him into an assisted living facility where he can receive the care he needs while doctors work to find the right combination of medications to help stabilize his condition. Our hope is that with the right care, he can one day return home to live safely with our mom again.

We truly believe that the Lord has opened a door for our dad to receive care from experts in this field, and we are trusting that He will continue to provide for us every step of the way, just as He has been faithful to do so far. We’ve seen His hand at work throughout this journey, and while it’s been difficult, we are confident that He is working all things together for our good and His glory.

Unfortunately, insurance is not covering this type of care, and the financial burden has fallen entirely on our mom, who is now paying out of pocket as a private-pay patient. The cost of assisted living and medical support is overwhelming and was never something our family could have prepared for.

We’re asking for help—not just for our dad, but for our mom, who has been his fiercest advocate and caregiver. Your support will go directly toward:

*Assisted living costs

*Medical care and prescriptions

*Ongoing evaluations and therapy

*Support services for our mom during this difficult time

Whether you're able to give financially or not, we are deeply grateful. We ask most of all for your continued prayers—we know the Lord hears us, and we are believing He will continue to move mountains on our behalf.

Thank you for standing with us, loving our family, and lifting us up during this time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amanda and Family
