The Vision of a Daughter and Granddaughter
The Melvin Weinstein Parkinson’s Foundation is
a not for profit organization with a clear mission. Through our fund raising
efforts we purchase equipment and supplies necessary to maintain a safe
and healthy environment for Parkinson’s patients. With the aid of
support groups we locate Parkinson’s patients who have financial
and medical needs, and find a way to help them. Of course, there is a
little more to the story.
Melvin Weinstein fought Parkinson’s disease for
over ten years until his death on December 28, 1997. Melvin was a kind
and generous man who, while he had his health, fought tirelessly for the
less fortunate. His passion for giving never waned no matter how physically
disabled he became.
As a family we are fortunate. We had the financial capability
to provide Melvin with all the equipment, supplies and home renovations
to help make his life with Parkinson’s easier. When his wife, Mollie,
was no longer able to be his sole caregiver, we were able to hire nurses
to help and watch over Melvin around the clock. The thought of the less
fortunate Parkinson’s patients not having their needs met is simply
not acceptable to us.

How wonderful it is that Melvin’s personal struggle
with Parkinson’s has inspired our vision for this foundation, focusing
on the less financially privileged Parkinson’s patients. Won’t
you join us?
Help us to help them.
