Your donation will support many children and infants with seizure disabilities. Thank you for your support! Hi! I am Kierra Grace. I am 8 years old and love life! I love to be outdoors and to run, run, run! I love to watch the leaves blow in the trees and listen to water running and feeling the sun on my face. My mama and my brother are beside me at all times because I have a severe seizure disorder. Without warning I will go into a seizure 3-6 times a day. I cannot talk to let my mama to let her know I am feeling funny. I have tried many different medicine combinations and nothing has slowed the seizures. I do have a Vegal Nerve Stimulator inserted which has slowed them down from 40-60 a day. I don’t want to be stuck in a wheelchair for my safety always wondering when a seizure is going to hit. Kierra Grace was diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis at age 11 months and was found to be in the advanced stages of this disease. It is a condition in which tumors can grow on any organ in the body. Kierra Grace was born with the ones in her brain. Some conditions that she has are Autism, Developemental Delay, expressive and recessive language delay, gross and fine motor delays, and Lennonx-Gastaut syndrome. This is a rare and non treatable form of epilepsy. She does not qualify for brain surgery because all of her seizures are generalized, which means they happen all over her brain. Kierra Grace is at high risk for SUDEP, which refers to the unexplained death of an individual, with a diagnosis of epilepsy, who dies suddenly. She is also at high risk for accidental death by a seizure in which she falls and the injury is so great it kills her. Kierra Grace has dangerous drop seizures. Kierra Grace stops breathing and has rescue meds that need to be administered because the seizures come in clusters and don’t stop. Her mom needs to leave her baby girl on the floor to run and grab her seizure medicine. A dog can do many things for her family. The dog can retrieve a medicine bag during a seizure. The dog can also alert before a seizure strikes to prevent further injury. This will all allow Kierra Grace to be able to run as she likes and have freedom outside of a wheelchair. Thank you for your donation that is so desperately needed for Kierra Grace's dog. Brady Lynn is one of the funniest kids you will ever meet. Her love of life and quick wit often help her in her many daily struggles. Brady’s strength is also an inspiration to anyone who has the pleasure of meeting and spending time with her. At the tender age of three months, Brady was found blue in her crib by her mother. This incident led to unexplained seizures. These seizures have led her family on a quest to help their daughter. Brady has been seen by doctors around the United States from Ohio, to Pennsylvania, to New York, to New Jersey. These doctors have put her through many uncomfortable medical tests and many days in various hospitals. At the age of three, Brady was diagnosed with generalized, refractory epilepsy. This type of epilepsy cannot be treated with brain surgery because it affects her entire brain. Medicines also do not work to control her seizures. She has been on 8 different kinds in her short life, none that have worked for an extended period of time. A Seizure Alert and Assistance dog will be able to tell Brady's parents when she is having a seizure, comfort Brady after a seizure with a trained task called Deep Pressure Therapy, will be able to retrieve needed items in an emergency and will even be able to dial a specially designed assistance dog telephone, notifying emergency personnel of their immediate needs. Thank you for helping to bring this change to Brady's life! Nate is 10 year old boy. He loves his animals and has lots of pets - a hamster, turtles, fish and a cat. He has lots of friends, and plays with video games and Legos, and he's a huge Star Wars fan and has tons of Star Wars toys and costumes. He's very close with his big sister, Aryana, and his parents, Merriah and Spencer, and loves family holidays. Nate has severe epilepsy. He has status epilepticus seizures; seizures that last several minutes and rob him of precious oxygen. Nate has been through years of medication trials, therapies and doctor appointments. This is a life threatening condition. Sadly, Nate is not a candidate for brain surgery and is at a very high risk for SUDEP, or Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy. Day to day medications are not working to prevent the seizures, and he has to be given emergency medication when a seizure begins. His parents are almost afraid to sleep, in case he has a seizure in the middle of the night and they can't respond in time with the emergency medications that will shorten these deadly attacks. A seizure alert dog will tell the family when Nate is about to have a seizure, giving his family time to administer the necessary medications. This dog will save precious minutes, and save Nate's life. Little Angels will need to spend $10,000.00 to train and pair a dog with Nate. Please help us raise money to cover the cost of bringing this life-saving animal in their family. Logan and Kaleb are amazing 2 year old twins afflicted with a very rare and catastrophic form of genetic epilepsy. These boys came home healthy and happy after birth and we were settling into life as first time parents with my husband a full time student. It was a busy, crazy and fun blur. Then May 11th happened - the day of their 4 month well baby check. Our loves received the first vaccination (a combo of 5 actually) and six hours later, while I was home alone, Kaleb did a weird jerk while nursing. He immediately went into a huge grand mal seizure, unresponsive and turning gray in the face. I was on the phone with 911 in less than 5 seconds. Unfortunately, I knew exactly what was happening. I also knew he did not have a fever and that it was bad that it just kept going, requiring multiple doses of rescue medication to stop. Upon arriving to Seattle Children's ER, Logan began seizing also! His seizure also required multiple doses of medications to stop and was prolonged. This was the first day of our family's life-long battle with Dravet Syndrome. In 95% of these cases the gene is not inherited from a parent but a spontaneous occurrence, meaning Dravet simply chose our little angels. Dravet is accompanied by learning difficulties, behavioral problems and severe global delays, especially language and motor. The disease is progressively detrimental with most children developing normally for the first 1-2 years of life. This dynamic duo will be dependent on others for life. These boys are such happy, sweet and loving characters! So full of personality.....one therapist calls them her Cherubs, another her Giggle Boxes. They work hard in their therapies, love life and adore being around other kids. They love each other so much and we are honored to be their parents, even if it is a tough road. They truly are the light in our lives. We are doing whatever we can to assist them in becoming as independent as possible. One critical component we must have in place for them is a service dog. This dog will become an integral part of their everyday lives bringing hard to obtain piece of mind for their parents and potentially life saving, highly skilled companionship to each of them. Hi my name is Marybeth, I am six years old and I have epilepsy. Please help me get a seizure assistance dog! I have been having a really tough time lately. I have different kinds of seizures and have to sleep with my mom at night; I cant ever be alone. A seizure dog would change my life, it would be my best friend and keep me safe and even sleep with me at night. My seizure medicine makes me feel funny and it's hard to be around people and stay in school sometimes. I just know in my heart this will help me so much. When I feel okay my favorite thing to do is sing and dance! I also love to go to the park with my big sister. Please donate today and help me be able to get my seizure dog so I have more days feeling good! Thanks, love Marybeth |
