Help Tori Williams Rebuild After Surgery

Help Tori Williams Recover from Brain Surgery from Epilepsy

Hello everyone,

My son Tori has been suffering with a seizure disorder for 30 years. When he was six weeks old, my firstborn son stopped breathing, and I rushed him to the hospital. After many tests, he was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Tuberous Sclerosis. I was devastated when they told me that my son would have seizures for the rest of his life.

Now in 2024, his family is reaching out to you with hopeful spirits. Tori Williams has been in the hospital since June 28th of this year and underwent his second brain surgery and then had complications from the surgery. His first brain surgery was in 2012. Most people have not had to deal with health problem of this magnitude. Thirty years of having seizures was traumatizing for his family as well.

Tori has not been able to have a normal, independent or very social life. The surgery was a critical step toward giving Tori the chance to live without the constant fear of seizures and the possibility of finally living the life his peers have lived. We are hopeful that he can now spend time building his brand "Brainstorm Life" which is a merchandise line (now only t-shirts) that brings awareness to seizure and epilepsy disorders.

While we are incredibly grateful that the surgery was successful, the setback of infection and a blood clot in his leg has delayed his recovery and kept him in the hospital longer than expected. He now will have to go to a rehabilitation center after leaving the hospital. Tori now faces a long and challenging road to recovery.

Tori may not be able to return to his job this year. He used a lot of his earnings to print his shirts and buy materials. He loved working with children as a lunch monitor. He loved doing events and selling his t-shirts and giving other children and adults with epilepsy hope for the future. Now, he is trying to get his life back and have a more abundant and liberating one. He wants to meet a nice girl and have a family one day. He wants to distribute his merchandise to hospitals and neurological facilities, departments and hospital floors. Tori wants to one day tell his story in a book or film. Tori is trying to be hopeful that this was a setback for a comeback.

We are asking for your support in helping Tori get back on his feet. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward covering his expenses and easing the financial burden on Tori and his family during this difficult time.

We know that times are tough for everyone, and we deeply appreciate any help you can provide. Your generosity will not only aid in Tori's recovery but will also offer him hope and comfort as he navigates this challenging journey.

He will use the funds to buy materials, equipment, to travel, and to promote his brand. He will use the funds to sustain himself until he can return to work or obtain a full-time job or career that will pay him more money and let him experience more of the world.

Please donate to Tori's cause and let him return home to the opportunity to flourish and thrive and allow Tori to begin his life at 30. We are asking for $30,000.00 and we hope to surpass that amount from your kindness and generosity.

We thank you in advance, for giving Tori a winning chance!
