My Nonprofit Reviews

This is a family-based foundation that was created after the loss of a beautiful girl (their daughter) named Chelsea. They have made it their mission and Chelsea's legacy to ensure no more lives are lost to SUDEP. During the time when I had recently given up my full-time employment (and bread-winner role in my household which made the medical bills that much more overwhelming) to care for our infant daughter with epilepsy, The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation subsidized the cost of Emfit, a movement monitor to detect seizures during my daughter's sleep. This not only took away from some financial stress, but provided an invaluable gift of peace of mind so I was able to sleep at night once again.

Julie is a selfless, empathetic, determined woman. She is my epilepsy hero.
