Hey all, My name is Eden, and I am 16. In December 2023, a sudden seizure put me in a 3-week coma. Since then, it’s been a long road of recovery from a rare condition called Hashimoto Encephalopathy.

I have finally been cleared to drive! But with my history, my family and I have to prioritize safety above everything else. That is why I am specifically saving for a Tesla.

It’s not about the brand—it’s about the tech. Teslas have some of the highest safety ratings ever recorded, and features like Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Avoidance provide a "safety net" that could be a literal lifeline if I ever had a medical episode behind the wheel. It’s about peace of mind for my parents and everyone else on the road.

Whether it’s $5 or just sharing the link, I’m so grateful. Thank you for helping me get to college safely!

(Though there are serious risks, I am now cleared to drive after being seizure-free for 6 months. As exciting as this is, I am not guaranteed to not have another seizure.)
