Please help us purchase a focal seizure alarm for Kira who has been diagnosed with epilepsy.

Auckland

If you can, please help us purchase a focal seizure alarm for my sister, Kira. She was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2020 and it has been a massive lifestyle change for her and the family to ensure her safety. Kira can no longer work and do activities that she normally would be able to, and my mother had to quit her job of 16 years to look after her. Therefore, we cannot afford to purchase this alarm which will detect and warn us of Kira's oncoming focal seizures which we would need to tend to ASAP before she suffocates or falls into a dangerous tonic clonic seizure.
