We are so lucky to have your support.  Please accept a huge “Thank you!” from all of us at The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation (“CHF”) for your generous support.  Your contribution has played an essential part in providing life-saving, hope-sustaining support to families across the country!

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we have provided 10 weighted blankets for those in need.

The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation grants comfort and hope to those affected by epilepsy through providing monitoring resources, vital information, and a safe haven for conversation and community.

Our main goal is to raise awareness of SUDEP and to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families living with epilepsy.

We raise funds to provide education about SUDEP and to provide seizure response dog grants and movement monitors that help to protect against SUDEP.

We stay up-to-date on current trends in medical technology in order to be able to provide the most effective devices as they become available.

We respect the value and quality of life of every person living with epilepsy.

We are dedicated to providing opportunities that allow individuals and families greater independence, increased confidence, ability to enjoy social environments, and community understanding.

Here are links to our other Globalgiving.org projects.  We'd love you to take a look at these.

Thank you for your support of this project.  Through this site and other fundraising efforts, we have been able to fund 10 weighted blankets for those who could really benefit from having one.

The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation grants comfort and hope to those who suffer with epilepsy and/or seizures.  Many times in their daily lives dealing with a child living with Epilepsy, there is such isolation and not only for the parents, but the kids as well.  These weighted blankets help with sleep, which can only be of benefit.

We have a few other projects on GlobalGiving that I'd like to share with you.  Please check these out.

This project is off to a slow start, but we are hopeful things will soon turn.  When funded, this project will help many families dealing with the stresses and issues of seizure disorders.  A weighted blanket is an occupational therapy aid that provides sensory input and comfort, as well as, aiding in sleep in most individuals.  

These blankets are custom made for each recipient and personalized with their name if so desired.  We appreciate your support of this project and hope to be able to provide weighted blankets in the near future.
