PD Walk Fund (Walking Stick for Balance)
PD Walk Fund (Walking Stick for Balance)

We at Parkinson Patients Support Organization-Ethiopia are greatly indebted to the supports we are receiving through GlobalGiving INC. GG and the donors together have become hand, feet and mouth to poor PD patients. With the supports received patients have been managing the pains from symptoms. Major motor symptoms of Parkinson symptoms include tremor, rigidity, postural instability, walking balance problems, speech problem, drooling etc. Non- motor symptoms include: insomnia, depression, dehydration, hallucination when case become worse.

The only way patients can manage these symptoms is through drug purchase and walking cane support. Fifty patients benefited from PD drug purchase and Walking cane support to help them maintain balance while walking. This is so because PD causes imbalance during walk due to lack of dopamine in the brain.
