Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that will impact 1 in 26 people during their lifetime. It is estimated that more than 400,000 individuals in Florida have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Seizures are unpredictable and directly impact the health and safety of the individual. In 2018, JoshProvides assisted 59 families by offering seizure detection & alert devices, assistance with transportation or medical services, and securing seizure response dogs. JoshProvides also offers a monthly Epilepsy Support Group to provide resources and socialization to families.
