EEE Epilepsy Effect Everything

Fri, 10/14/2016 - 11:58
Hi All, My name is Audrey I'm the girlfriend of a wonderful man who had epilepsy. He was diagnosed around 3 years ago with a seizure disorder, and in the last month they officially diagnosed him with epilepsy. As he would say he is now a "well-rounded" epileptic. He has had all different types of seizures lately and they all have been really unpredictable. He has been out of work here and there, but is able to go into work here and there also which has made it really hard for him to find any financial assistance. I am currently in a fast track Masters Program for Education and Teaching which requires me to be in an internship all day (for free) and classes at night. This leaves me with no time to work myself. I have started a Go Fund Me account for him and I'm hoping that if I post it here it may reach some people who understand the struggle and motivate you all to create one's for either yourself or family. Since dating my boyfriend and really understanding epilepsy I have found that it really effects all aspects of someone's life. Please take a look at the page and if anything just spread the awareness. Thank you :) https://www.gofundme.com/nicksepilepsyfund
