Imagine you’re a single mother with a 6 month-old infant and you’re watching your little girl have her 15th seizure of the day. As if being the mother of a healthy child isn’t hard enough, this must be heartbreaking.
Shortly after little Judith turned 1 year old, she was finally diagnosed with CDKL5, a rare X-linked genetic disorder that results in seizures, sensory issues, and developmental delays.
Chive Charities and The Chive Fund is stepping up with a $14,200 grant which will go towards therapy equipment, adaptive furniture, a SAMi monitor to alert Kaitlyn, Judith’s mother, if Judith is seizing at night, and an iPad with vision therapy apps.
