Cops for Kids are committed to helping children and parents by assisting the Epilepsy Centre with our second donation of $14,815 of a three-year funding agreement which will guarantee the supply of 15 Seizure Monitors a year between 2023-2025.
Seizure Monitors are a lifesaving piece of medical equipment that is attached to a child’s bed and detects movements similar to seizures. If a child suffers a seizure while sleeping, an alarm is triggered alerting the family. These seizure mats are life saving for the children but are also able to alleviate a parent’s anxiety. The supply of these monitors is crucial to the health of the entire family and substitutes the need for a parent or sibling to sleep in the same room/bed as a child with epilepsy.
The Epilepsy Centre has made a promise to supply the monitor for families in need, free of charge. Cops for Kids’ support is vital to ensuring the supply of this life saving equipment.
