More people die each year from epilepsy than from breast cancer. Many families experience this painful trauma each year. We want to raise a new awareness to Epilepsy and SUDEP. Epilepsy is the third most common neurological disorder in the United States after Alzheimer’s and stroke. The mortality rate among people with epilepsy is two to three times higher than the general population and the risk of sudden death is 24 times greater. We want to bring an awareness to Epilepsy and SUDEP and change the way people think of those severely affected by this illness. Epilepsy is among the least understood even though one in three adults know someone with the disorder. We are raising funds to become a 501 c3 non-profit organization to bring help to those suffering in the state of Oklahoma. In talking with the Epilepsy Foundation on a national level there is no chapter in Oklahoma. We need to raise funds to help those suffering in Green Country. We can help with funding on the bed monitors, anti-suffocation pillows, medical alert bracelets that plug into usb ports and upload the person’s entire health history, and for seizure assist dogs. All of the things that insurance does not cover. Any donation you would consider truly is considered a blessing and appreciated more than you can possibly know. Not only is this devastating on a personal level but a financial level is huge. Most companies do not want to provide coverage for those with disabilities. Funeral expenses and medical bills are incredibly high. I know we can make a difference. If we change the world for one person that is a step in the right direction. We are already working with two families in the Oklahoma area to help them through their journey. Thank you for your interest.
