Melvin Weinstein was actively involved in real estate development throughout Virginia. Over the years he consistently gave back to the community in many ways, leading by example and providing enthusiasm to every project.
Melvin Weinstein continued his charitable contribution despite being afflicted with the debilitating and devastating Parkinson's Disease. Our organization is named to thank him, honor him and carry on his philanthropic legacy. In memory of Melvin Weinstein and all people who have lost their lives to Parkinson's Disease, we vow to continue to provide assistance to individuals courageously battling this degenerative neurological disease as they face potentially devastating financial distress.
The MWPF purchases equipment and supplies necessary to maintain a safe and healthy environment. This, in turn, provides emotional support for Parkinsonians and helps them to maintain their independence, self-esteem, and dignity. The MWPF has been contacted by individuals, support groups, and many other charitable organizations throughout the world. Our website (www.MWPF.org) has made us easily accessible.
Shower chairs, walkers, electric wheelchairs, and bedside tables are seemingly simple items, but these items significantly ease the everyday life of the Parkinson's patient. Parkinsonians and caregivers alike gain freedom and independence by having this type of equipment. Unfortunately, many Parkinsonians cannot afford to purchase these products. The MWPF is here to help Parkinson's patients overcome financial obstacles, and preserve self-confidence and dignity. It is vital that the MWPF continue to make its resources available to those in need. The feedback we receive demonstrates that an organization such as the MWPF is rare, the services provided by the MWPF are essential, and the MWPF positively impacts the lives of Parkinson's patients.
We cannot do this alone. Please join us. Help us make a difference in the lives of those living with Parkinson's Disease.
