Two-year-old Casey started having epileptic seizures late 2018. We are raising funds for monitoring equipment.
Canterbury
Casey is only two year's old, a normal, energetic, cheeky wee man. He can drive a digger, help dad with tools for building and doing the vacuuming for mum.
Just before Christmas 2018, his world flipped upside down. He was having a sleepover at his nana's house when out of no where he started having epileptic seizures. These happen at random, with no warning or obvious trigger.
We are trying to raise money to buy a special watch-style monitor and a special mattress that will alert his parents just before a seizure happens. At the moment there is no warning as Casey is too little to understand what is happening. The watch will monitor him and send an alert to his parents' phones. The mattress will alert them at night so they may actually be able to get some sleep instead of having to watch him 24/7.
Any excess funds will help with ongoing costs such as ambulance trips to the hospital.
Due to the irregular nature of Casey's seizures, his parents can’t go to work and need to be constantly with him. It is vitally important that we get them these monitors so their life can stabilize and get them some kind of normality. Any parent knows kids can be stressful on a good day, but adding in the extra lack of sleep and constant worry is taking a real toll on the family.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am Casey’s Auntie and would love to help relieve some of the stresses my brother and his wife are going through at the moment by helping raise funds for equipment needed to help monitor Casey
The funds raised will go towards specialist equipment to help monitor Casey’s seizures and alert his parents when a seizure starts and other costs as they arise.
the payee is changing from Carmidy to Bethany 29 July 2019
Hi all, thanks for the donations, we are changing who Give a Little can pay the donations to from Casey's mother Carmidy to Casey's Auntie Bethany as she has other fundraising funds in a separate account.
Casey has been doing well and is responding to his medicines well and he says a big "kank you"
