Chrissy & Friends
Often people find seizures intimidating, making it very difficult for children and adults with epilepsy to develop friendships. As parents of children with epilepsy it is often very difficult to watch other children play while your child sits alone, unable, or sometimes worse, not being asked to participate. That is why this organization was formed.
Chrissy & Friends, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization dedicated to supporting people with epilepsy and their families. Our mission is to offer support, recreation, education, and most importantly a place to socialize and have fun for all ages.
