My grandfather has Parkinsons in its later developments. He’s currently in stoke hospital recovering from a recent fall. He’s pretty much fully recovered now and ready to be released. I am interested in knowing how to raise money for recovery.

Unfortunately his care home wont take him back unless he has a properly fitted chair to get him around without falling over again. The chair costs around £3000 for the type that he needs. I’m trying to find a way to raise this money. I was hoping you might have some ideas as to how I might do it?

Sometimes people need a jump start to begin feeling better. Sounds like your grandfather may need just that. I typically do not work on questions about wheel chairs, since they invite thought forms which are negative and De-energizing. Sounds like in your grandfather’s case, a properly fitted chair might help improve his quality of life significantly so he can begin to feel better.

How to Raise Money for Recovery

I believe the way to approach this type of challenge is to set up an account on a platform  that makes it possible for friends and family to donate small amounts of money. A person may well be unable to pay 3000 pounds, but they can probably donate 5 pounds or 10 pounds.

When you set up the invitation to donate on the website, you explain how the funds will be used and invite people to make donations of any size. Many small donations will eventually amount up to 3000 pounds. You will be surprised by how many people will be eager and happy to assist. The money goes for a very worthy cause.

There are various platforms such as Go Fund Me that can be used to raise money for worthy causes such as you describe in your email. This way, friends and family can donate even small sums. It is a marvelous way for them to support any journey down the road to recovery.
