My name is Audrey Swanson. Last year, my sister started a GoFundMe for her stepson JAHKARI, who had a very rare seizure disorder called Lennox Gastuat Syndrome. The fund was started to help purchase a service dog trained to detect seizures before they happen, in hopes of limiting JAHKARI’s injuries which often were sustained when he would fall during an episode, by alerting the family before they occurred. JAHKARI had many seizures every day and many more at night starting at the age of three years old. As JAHKARI got older, the harder and more frequent the seizures would come, slowly chipping away at his already fragile body. He endured this condition for over 15 years, embracing each day with a smile and a zest for life that would remind everyone around him how beautiful life is! On November 5, 2026, JAHKARI lost this battle right before his dog Oreo was going to come to live with him. I’m asking with profound appreciation, for help with the cost of laying Jahkari to rest. This gift would relieve some of the pressure of this insurmountable financial hardship, thus allowing this family to put their energy and focus into this incredibly long, painful, healing journey.
