The number of persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is expected to double worldwide by 2030, many persons living with Parkinson’s disease around the world cannot afford:

• Consultation with a neurologist or,
• Medications for their treatment,
• An electric tooth brush and other basic healthcare supplies,
• A walker, wheelchair or cane, to reduce fall risk, and
• Lack access to educational literature about Parkinson’s and hence are without necessary information about their disease.
