Gift Giver / Wednesday, October 9, 2019 / Categories: Story of Giving Gift for Epilepsy Alliance of Ohio Maggie and Doug Snyder This story of giving is from Maggie and Doug Snyder Epilepsy Alliance Ohio is dedicated to assisting those effected by epilepsy and seizures by providing vital, unduplicated support services to local communities. 100% of the donations stay in the communities served. Their services include: education programs, individual and family counseling, residential group homes, community training and education, support groups, therapeutic camps, school support, vocational day activity programs, advocacy, and their Young Adult Support Network. Epilepsy is a disease of the brain characterized by recurrent seizures, and onset can occur at any age without warning. One in 10 people will suffer a seizure in their lifetime. The Institute of Medicine states 1 in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy at some point in their lives. In America, epilepsy is as common as breast cancer and takes as many lives. Maggie and I have been associated with Epilepsy Alliance of Ohio for almost eight years, as our son, Derek, has suffered from seizures all his life. He is currently a resident in one of four homes supported by Epilepsy Alliance Ohio. Our family has supported their efforts in donation, 5K walks, golf outings and their annual gala. My employer DeanHouston Inc. are corporate supporters as well, in support of fundraising events and volunteer work at the residential homes. It was an easy decision for us to choose Epilepsy Alliance Ohio to share this generous God’s Work, Our Hands donation. Thank you for helping us support this effort.
