Seizures Don’t Wait—Help Bring Winston to Reese

Hi, my name is Reese, and I’m 22 years old. I’ve been living with epilepsy since I was 9, and while I’ve learned to navigate life with it, my seizures have become more unpredictable and dangerous in recent years.

By “unpredictable,” I mean awaking with injuries like busted teeth, split chins, black eyes, and a broken jaw. The worst was when I broke my jaw during a seizure—I had to have it wired shut for over a month and could only drink liquids. Each one brings real danger and fear for both me and the people who care about me.

That’s where Winston comes in.

Winston is a specially trained seizure response dog who will help keep me safe, alert others when I’m having a seizure, and bring calm and stability in the aftermath. He’s not just a service dog—he’s a life-saving partner. You’ll see pictures of him here, and I’m so excited for the day I get to call him mine.

I’m raising $15,000 to cover Winston’s training and placement. Every donation—no matter the amount—brings us one step closer to safety, independence, and peace of mind. If you’re able to support me by donating, sharing this page, or simply keeping me in your thoughts, I can’t thank you enough.

Your kindness means more than you know.

With love and hope,

Reese
