By Julie Hutchison | President, Co-Founder and Chelsea's Mother
We are excited to tell you about the progress we have made. The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation is receiving 10-15 requests a week for help and we have been able to keep up with those requests. We have several grants that will become due before the end of the year, but wanted to share that to date, we have provided 104 grants for seizure-response dogs.
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.
"The CHF has been unwavering in their support of not only my family but countless others that I have become friends with during the past few years I have had the pleasure of being involved with them. Their intetrity and commitment to the epilepsy community is beyond reproach in my eyes." Gene N. father of Quinn (see Denver Post article above)
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, Colorado to help fund our projects. It is a big commitment, but we will do what we need to to be able to grant comfort and hope those those who suffer from epilepsy.
Thank you for believing in us!
