Chelsea Makes Dreams Come True for 14 Families

By Julie Hutchison | President, Co-Founder and Chelsea's Mother

In just a few short days, The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation, through Chelsea's Wish, will be hosting 14 families from across the United States at Epilepsy Awareness Expo and Day at Disneyland.  These trips are life-changing for our families and we promise to provide photos of this year's event as soon as we return.  This brings the number of trips granted to 42.

"Packing is way more fun than unpacking. I sStill cant believe its over. The friendships and memories we have made from the last week will be treasured forever. I cant express our gratitude for The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation and all they have done for all of us. My daughter had an amazing week of realizing and learning she is not alone.  Being in a super small community she has always felt like a bit of an outsider. Now she has many new friends that understand her and memories that will help her continue to stay strong- and that goes for all the kids there this week!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! "  Shelly P. 2016

We made the news and wanted to share.  Here is our story as told by CBS Denver, Foundation Pairs Girl, Goldendoodle Together To Help Manage Epilepsy.  In addition, here is an article written by The Denver Post, How the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation is saving lives through dogs and monitors.

STOMP Out Epilepsy and SUDEP Awareness walks took place across the United States last month.  It was a huge success for the Foundation as we stomped in Colorado, California, Nebraska, Illinois, Louisiana and West Virginia.  We host Chelsea's Bingo twice a week in Aurora, CO to help fund our projects.  It is a big project, but we are committed to grantint comfort and hope those those who suffer from epilepsy.

To date we have provided 103 grants for seizure-response service dogs and have provided over 480 (what we believe to be) life-saving movement monitors for those in need.  Thank you for believing in us!
