Tigist says "I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 14, after a long struggle to get a proper diagnosis. My parents were afraid of the stigma and wanted to hide my condition, leaving me feeling lonely and misunderstood. Then I found CareEpilepsy Ethiopia, and they changed everything. They opened doors for me to enjoy life and pursue work, becoming my chosen family. Thank you for being there and showing me that I'm not alone in this journey."
Tigist: Patient
As a mother of a child with epilepsy, my life revolves around his needs. Every thought and action is dedicated to his wellbeing. When access to quality epilepsy services is limited, it hinders my child's ability to reach his full potential due to frequent seizures. That's why I've become a passionate advocate for epilepsy through my involvement with CareEpilepsy Ethiopia. It is my mission to fight for better support and services for individuals with epilepsy, ensuring that no child's potential is hindered by this condition.

Thanks to the craftwork training I received from CareEpilepsy Ethiopia, I have acquired valuable skills that have not only boosted my self-esteem but also instilled in me a newfound sense of self-confidence. The opportunity to showcase and sell my creations has not only allowed me to generate income but also encouraged me to save money for the future. This training has truly been a life-changing opportunity for me.

Eyerus said, "At first I went into denial: my son seemed so perfect, he glowed with good health, was energetic and happy. Then he started having seizures and the seizures began increasing in frequency and I went into a panic. It was too much to deal with the stigma that I faced becuase of my child having epilepsy. I was in such a state of anxiety and it was impossible to find any information about epiepsy." Thank you CareEpilepsy for making it easy for me to understand epilepsy and to know that my child is not possessed by evil spirit. You have supported me in the last five years and walked the talk with me."
