Hi, I’m trying to help my son after a sudden and severe onset of seizures that recently landed him in the ICU in a medically induced coma. They still don’t know what’s causing the seizures. The doctors have said he can’t be left alone.

But We’re now looking into getting him a seizure response/service dog to help keep him safe, but the cost is extremely high and not something we can afford on our own.

I’m trying to see if anyone knows of:

- Programs that provide service dogs for free or low cost

- Grants or financial assistance for seizure dogs

- Any organizations we should look into

We’ve also started a fund to try and raise money for this.

If anyone has resources, advice, it would truly mean so much to us.

Thank you ❤️

I don’t really know where to turn right now. My son was completely healthy and then suddenly started having severe seizures. He ended up in a medically induced coma and everything changed overnight.

We’re trying to figure out how to move forward and what resources even exist. I feel overwhelmed and honestly just need advice or support from anyone who has gone through something like this.

I need to get him a certified seizure dog, but I hear they’re so expensive and out of reach. I’m wondering if there’s any resources out there for people with low income. I know nothing about seizures and I’m wondering what type of resources there are out there for him he’s only 26 years old. I created a GoFundMe for him, but haven’t really gotten anywhere with it. It’s my first one created. I didn’t really know what else to do.
