Cassandra, thank you so much for sharing your story with such heart. As a subscriber, I always find so much value in your insights, but I wanted you to know I’ve just donated in honor of your mom. Thank you for using your platform to raise both awareness and funds for Parkinson’s support. Thinking of you and your family.

cassandra, thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. caring for a parent (or grandparent, in my case) through such a difficult journey is heartbreaking and exhausting—your strength, love, and voice are felt deeply.

I'm going to make my annual donation now and will send you the receipt. You already know I have had several loved ones who had PD and it's also personal to me (not as much as your direct caregiving experience, but I loved these four people very much). Thanks for doing this and honoring your mother in this way.
