If you or a loved one are living with Parkinson’s, you are well aware of the financial burden the disease brings.

Over and above the medical costs, the average annual indirect and non-medical costs for a person diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease is over $19K – over $25K when combined with caregiver burden.


You may find you have to make some difficult decisions about which necessary services you are able to access.


We at Rise Above Parkinsons know how you feel. Our loved one has been on his Parkinson’s journey for over a decade now, and during that time, we’ve financed home renovations, adaptive gear, therapeutic services, and more. We’ve found these supportive services to be critical to his well-being and quality of life. And we want that for your loved one too.


Rise Above Parkinsons is a place where you can feel cared for, and where you can receive financial support, trust, and the attention you need. Our goal is to help your loved one live the best life possible. Because we’re all in this together.

Because you are so much more than your diagnosis.

We want to help you rise.

    I didn't know how I was going to be able to pay for my medication. I was feeling overwhelmed and depressed. Rise Above Parkinson's helped me cover the cost. Now I feel like I can breathe again."

    Lily, Tampa FL

    I reached out to ask for funding consideration. The response was quick and full of kindness. The application process was fast. Before I knew it I was awarded some extremely helpful funds for physical therapy.

    Cathy, Lakeland FL

    This non-profit is successful because of the non-judgmental, caring and personal touch.
    Asking for help is embarrassing and they make it fun.

    The folks at Rise Above appeared in my journey when I was in great need. It seemed too good to be true! But they are the real deal!

    Naomi, Lake Worth FL 

    Thank you, thank you! You have made my life a whole lot easier. I love my walker. I call her Mercedes because she is a quality walker! If you need help, ask Rise Above PD. It's easy to find out if you qualify. They care.
