This Christmas, give the gift of hope to children diagnosed with epilepsy  

The moment you’re told your child has epilepsy, the world suddenly feels uncertain, and your heart fills with fear. What does this mean for their future? How will they cope? You desperately seek answers, but they’re hard to find.  

Trusted information and guidance are essential for newly diagnosed children, young people and their families. Your support will enable the design and development of new resources. No child or young person feels alone when they receive their diagnosis.   

Please pledge your support now. You can help children and their families get the support they need after an epilepsy diagnosis.

No family alone after a diagnosis

From the moment of his first seizure, I felt so anxious and helpless. It was like one of my worst fears had been realised. From that moment I started watching him like a hawk.  We were given a leaflet and then just left by ourselves. I couldn’t sleep. I was scared that Solomon would have a seizure and die in the night.

You search for things online and you don’t know what you’re looking at, whether it can be trusted or not.  More needs to be done to share information about different types of epilepsy and the things that can occur after a seizure.

Everything I do now is because of Solomon. I want to stop the seizures. But I can’t. So I try to help with the triggers. If I can help him to understand what triggers his seizures, we can avoid it as best we can. 
Solomon's mum, Nicole

For families like Nicole’s, your support means everything.  

Your donation this Christmas will help children with epilepsy. Your support will help to deliver bite-sized information about epilepsy, diagnosis and living with the condition. This will help to support self-management and confidence, reducing the fear a diagnosis can bring.  

4 years ago, if I could have started to work on the triggers, we probably would have had less seizures. It won’t get rid of them, but it will lessen them. Having information would have made a massive difference.

No parent should have to face that fear alone. This Christmas, you can ensure they don’t have to.   

I know first-hand what it’s like to have a child receive a diagnosis of epilepsy. Please make a donation today to help other families like mine, get the support they need when they need it most.
Solomon's mum, Nicole
