Hello there!
My name is Tiziana Maldonado and I am 16 years old. Although I myself do not have epilepsy, my good friend, Tara, was diagnosed with epilepsy back in 2022. My whole life, I grew up with Tara. Even before the day she was diagnosed, I was always by her side. The moment I realized that something was not right with Tara was when she kept having these "tremors." I remember having to babysit her little sisters while she and her parents rushed to the hospital. As a few months passed, Tara's mother informed me on Tara's diagnosis; Epilepsy. From that day on, I promised to support Tara on her journey through epilepsy. The day that tara asked me if I wanted to help her create a NonProfit Organization, I was ecstatic and accepted the offer. As someone who's life has indirectly been impacted by epilepsy, I want to help inform the friends and families of those with epilepsy and reassure them that everything will turn out fine.
