My sister in-law made her choice and she chose the burgundy one so I listed the green one for sale. She was so excited to have a new purse and bring awareness to her brother's disease.

My hubby also has Parkinson's - was in early stages until he had a severe accident in the mountains 2 1/2 months ago - 4 fractured vertebrae, 1 totally shattered (had surgery), 5 bulging disks, spinal cord damage (learning to walk again), broken ribs, partial lung colapse, paralyzed bowel/bladder. :+(
As often happens with trauma, his Parkinson's has accelerated so he has that to cope with as well as his injury limitations.
But God is good - he could have died but for God's grace and the fact 2 of our grown sons were with him that day & 1 went for help - 13 hour rescue from injury to Blackhawk military chopper touching down at trauma center.
Back to your purses - wonderful idea - hope you can make & sell many!

My husband's parkinsons was accelerated by a rollover car accident, 9 months after the accident he was full blown parkinsons. He is going to go see a Parkinsons specialist in a couple of weeks, not sure what to expect from that visit. I will continue the battle and bring awareness where I can to special causes. Take care.
Nice purses & I like your one at a time awareness campaign.

Sorry for your hubby's PD symptom increase after his car accident. I believe its a good thing we do not know what lies ahead when we are young - not sure I'd have had the strength to move forward. But I believe now that God knows our situations and will be there to see us through it all. Hoping all goes well with the PD specialist & that they have meds that will control symptoms for him.
Take care of yourself - caregivers often meet others' needs and neglect their own.
