HI Camille, the following is my interpretation of Edwin's message, I did not change the syntax. regards, Mario I have been a member of this List for 3 years, I am presenting the following case, my father is 59 years old, he has had Parkinson for the last 10 years, due to pretty dire economic circumstances, which I can prove, I am not able as a son, to provide him with medicines in order to be able to keep him stabilized and alive, I wonder if there is anyway your institution can provide him with some assistance, it is a human life, he is not American, but indeed a human being, here in Costa Rica, this disease is not very common, and there are currently no associations or institutions that provide assistance of any kind, what possibilities are there of any assistance. I thank you for your reading this note and at the same time thank you for any assistance.
