Extreme hardship in my family. Please help!

[Masadres]

Hi. I have very difficult time in my life and do not see how this can be solved and if this story can have a happy end... I am russian American. I have a us citizenship and live in Virginia with my family now. I have my disabled paralyzed dad in Vladivostok, Russia. He is paralyzed on the right side, barely can walk and can't talk at all. Legally mentally disabled due to stroke since 2011. My mom that was caring for him died in 2012 and now he does not have anybody to care for him but me. I have been taking care of him since November of 2012 go to Russia and live there for several month at a time taking care of him. I also have a family in USA (husband and a 9 y.o child) so I can't live with my dad in Russia forever. I would have no way of supporting myself there because I have to take care of him and his pension does not cover bills for both of us but not just that, I simply can't abandon my husband and kid. my family also do not qualify to sponsor him to bring him here and care for him. Russian government does not do anything for disabled people like my dad except paying a small pension and disability compensation that does not cover much. Government Mental facility is horrible, overcrowded and waiting line there for about 5 years. Private nursing homes are outside of our budget. We tryed to hire a live in sitter, to care for him in his apartment but she only took money and neglected him... When I returned I found him starving, medicines were not refilled and sitter abandoned him... Guardian department who suppose to be responsible for him don't even send people to check on him. Once a year at best. My family experiencing extreme hardship, emotional , financial and (physical for my dad) from situation like this. We don't know what to do :-( our finances depleting due to me traveling and paying people who don't do their duties. We accumulated big debt and soon will not be able to travel back... He is all alone there and in danger. He is going to die without me from mistreatment and improper care... I have been advised that there are might be hope seeking political asylum. Is there any way to unite us? Please help. I don't ask for money just an advise. Thank you.
P.s. I have power of attorney because he is mentally disabled ( there is a court judgment) and I am able to make legal decisions on his behalf.

Request assistance with a Humanitarian Parole from a Congressional office with a reputation for working with immigration issues, especially involving Eastern European constituents. The Humanitarian Parole option can usually be obtained only with political help, almost as a political favor to the Congressional Office.

Wow. How do I do that? Does it mean I need to get a lawyer or just go and ask?

I looked into that and it still requires a sponsor.

You don't need an attorney to talk with and exchange paperwork with a Congressional office. Ask you friends or relatives which Congressional office serves your area and has a reputation for being helpful with immigration matters. Such Congressional offices will usually have a staff analyst who does this type of work.
