Jazzlyn’s seizures are pretty much kept to baseline. She’ll have maybe 1 or 2 every 1 - 2 weeks except for when she gets sick. Her immune system is weak so it’s very easy for her to get sick and when she does she can have a seizure every day for however many days she’s sick with multiple seizures some days day.  Maybe increasing the dosing when she is sick will help. I usually give her clonazepam, which her neurologist recommends when this happens, and it doesn’t help but I’m...

Payton's health has not improved. She is having complications with her stomach. She has been vomiting and coughing. Her stomach will not digest properly.  She had a G-tube placed and it has helped some. The CBD oil has helped with Payton's pain and sleeping. I do believe her seizures have slowed down a bit since she has been on CBD.    Payton’s story

The cannabinoid therapy has helped my son stay stagnant in regards to his seizure medication and only progress slightly in his gabapentin, that helps him with his leg pain. He is having shorter and less frequent seizures than when he started as well. His mood seems to be better. He doesn't fuss as much as he used to, even after a seizure. Before, he would cry and scream and be agitated for an hour or two after a seizure. Now, it almost seems to not affect him once it's over....

Celeste's autism symptoms and seizures have improved greatly since starting Charlotte's Web CBD oil and she has been taken off one of her traditional medications since being on the oil. If we didn't receive the grant we wouldn't be able to afford Charlotte's Web for Celeste. We would be stuck with the traditional medications that were no longer working. I like Charlotte's Web because it has no negative side effects. My kids feel that it is really cool that y'all help us so they don't have to go without some...

This winter my daughter has not gotten sick with the flu, cold, or illness.  In other years she was sick all winter long. This is absolutely amazing and I believe it is because of the CBD.  My daughter’s seizures have decreased but the wean off of the pharmaceutical medications has been very difficult. This RoC grant has made a huge impact on our family.  We are seeing so many better days with my daughter than we have ever seen.  Her brother and sister, who are several years younger, have also...

Since I began taking CBD oil, my complex partial seizures have been REDUCED to about half as often. I used to have them about twice a week but only about once a week since CBD. It has also reduced my auras a lot. I used to have auras almost every day but now it's down to about twice a week thanks to the CBD oil. The grant helped me save enough money to see a chiropractor for my back pain, pay the housing bills, and feed my hungry body. I...

Ruben's most recent EEG exam has shown much improvement. We will continue to proceed with a longer EEG exam to get the most accurate results. Also, it seems to help his ADHD. He's a bit more focused.  This has been such a blessing. At the moment I am unemployed to be a full-time caregiver to my 2 boys who have a disability.  I don't know how we'd be able to afford it otherwise. We are truly grateful for the Realm of Caring organization and those who have helped make this...

Story provided by Grace’s family Grace is doing so well since she has been on her CBD, I can't even explain how appreciative we are. We have not seen any seizures, and her skin is looking so much better. She is more active with more verbal communication and seems to be getting her milestones caught up. Her bloodwork is improving, we are feeling so blessed! Sending the RoC team HUGS <3

Maddy was born prematurely and after extensive testing, her doctors concluded that she suffered brain damage due to a stroke in utero. Her team of doctors didn’t know exactly what would happen and their predictions ranged from her not developing further or she could grow into a healthy girl and maybe have a limp from the stroke. Dara’s only option was to take everything one day at a time. At age 1 Maddy was diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy on the right...

Episode 6 of 7 [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJLRA5rqjc] Donate Now! Five years ago Dara and her daughter Maddy moved to Colorado when Maddy was almost 9. “My life has changed...I don’t like seizures, but I’m just glad that I’m not the only one in this world that has seizures, and I have friends that have seizures,” says now 14-year-old Maddy. Dara talks extensively about how Maddy’s seizures affected her memory; something many of us never consider because we take our ability to create and store memories for granted. At one point, Maddy’s...
