CHILDRENS BOOKS

Charities for Epileptics
Email Dr. Kossoff for a referral or information on any current studies at Johns Hopkins.
Each of these organizations offers some type of assistance. They have differing standards and procedures for applying for help. Please visit them for more information.
Cure Epilepsy The organization was founded by Susan Axelrod and a small group of parents of children with epilepsy who were frustrated with their inability to protect their children from seizures and the side effects of medications. Unwilling to sit back, they joined forces to spearhead the search for a cure.
Both CURE and PACE are very large charitable organizations that are not Epilepsy specific. Cure’s mission is to find a cure for epilepsy, by promoting and funding patient-focused research. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce or Business organizations to find a local branch. Sometimes local businesses have additional charities that they will sponsor for people in their community needing assistance.
Travel Assistance
Many airlines run programs where their frequent flyers will donate mileage for the benefit of children that need to travel for healthcare. Both American Airlines and Northwest gave us free tickets from Colorado to Baltimore, Maryland so that we could participate in the Johns Hopkins study. Getting this assistance requires some organization and diligence in finding and applying for the benefits. Of extreme value to us was a helpful and sympathetic nurse in the public health department in our county.
