Review for Danny Did Foundation, Evanston, IL, USA
My daughter has several medical conditions, one of which is a seizures. They started a couple of years ago as partial complex and have evolved into clusters of tonic clonic seizures (aka grand mal) During the day she has constant supervision but a night, we were concerned about detecting her seizures. We put a baby monitor and in her room but there were times we did not hear her when she was having a seizure. This was terrifying because at time her body would twist and she would be face down! A friend referred me to the Danny Did Foundation, as they help families who have children with epilepsy and work with several different companies that supply seizures detection devices. We chose the Emfit Monitor since nighttime seizures were our main concern. The application process was relatively simple , followed by a phone interview. Overall it was a very simple process and they approved a grant for my daughter to get the Emfit. We received the funds in less than a week!! Simply Amazing!
We have been awoken by the alarm several times in the last few months..and words can't describe how grateful we are for that. It has given us a peace of mind when we put her to bed that when something happens, we will know and be able to provide comfort and medical support she needs. These monitors are not cheap or covered by insurance. The Danny Did Foundation was a true life saver by providing us a grant for this equipment. Thank you Danny Did!
