My mom has Parkinson’s – she is 86 years old – I can tell you a world of stories about childhood trauma for both of us. I escaped to the USA, she came over about once a year – and it was hard every time.

 

Nothing could have prepared me for what happened last spring. She came to the USA – requiring a wheelchair in the airport for the first time in her life. She was tired and had a hard time walking. She also came with a clear determination – she wanted to bike again. She wanted to stay independent so why not try this stuff called Amare!

 

Within days, she was happier than I have ever seen her in my life. She cared. She asked about my life.

 

She got stronger, her mood improved, she even decided to go to the gym with me and work with a personal trainer. The strain left – we had actual conversations about my life. We connected for real.

For the first time in my life, I was sad to see her go back to the Netherlands. It was like an emotional world opened up for her.

 

Thank You Amare! You not only helped me, but you have given me a relationship with my mom that I can treasure.
