My Father
My father suffers from Parkinson’s disease. He was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s approximately 7 years ago. He recently retired at the age of 65, not by choice, but due to his debilitating ailment. Since he was missing many days of work to attend his doctor’s visits, and times he just did not feel healthy enough to go to work, his company asked him to retire. My parents raised four children and have always done everything in their power to provide for each one of us, and have done a marvelous job doing so. My father made a good living and was able to put some money away in savings, so that one-day him and my mother could retire comfortably. Never in their wildest dreams, did they ever imagine that their life-long savings would instead be used to pay for my father’s medications. I am their oldest son, and I would like to help them out as much as I can. I have been searching for programs that assist and significantly reduce the cost of prescription medications for seniors. My family would be ever so grateful if we could get some assistance for my parents to offset the high cost of the medicines. Thank you.
