“For weeks, I have been trying to compose a letter of thanks to your team. I am afraid that I am rather slow these days you see. Usually, I do not have a problem with words. This time I did. Firstly, I was ashamed that I had to ask for support. So ashamed. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Plus Syndrome, my world has shrunk in so many ways. I also know only too well what my condition entails and what lays ahead of me. I cannot pretend either, that the pain I suffer, together with other aspects of my condition, have not given me some very dark days. I did not want to go on. Your gift to me, helps not just me, but the whole of my small family. As looking after someone in my condition is a huge burden. Your support has been life-enhancing.
When I was given the news over the telephone that I was to receive your support; I must admit that I broke down. I was in a dark place, with no light at the end of the tunnel. Your telephone call. Your support. Your gift to me is life-changing. A mere “Thank you” cannot convey what your support team has achieved for one human being. You have saved my life." -Anne
