## Resource

Alistair, a 62-year-old Parkinson’s patient from Corstorphine, suffered a fall in the hospital after an infection-induced confusion episode, breaking his hip and leg — now requiring surgery and a mobility scooter to regain independence. His daughter Aileen has launched a GoFundMe campaign aiming for $4,000 to help him return to daily life, easing pressure on his wife and letting him reconnect socially — even if it means skipping his usual pint. With MRI scans pending and recovery uncertain, community support is rallying to help Alistair walk again — literally and figuratively.
