Our Mission
The October Love Foundation exists to protect children living with life-threatening epilepsy and support the families who love them.
Through life-saving equipment, seizure safety training, advocacy, and direct family support, we work to reduce risk, improve safety, and ensure no family faces these moments alone.
Because no child should have to fight to breathe.
And no parent should have to live in fear every night.
How We Protect Children Living with Life-Threatening Epilepsy
Preparation saves lives.
When a child stops breathing during a seizure, seconds matter.
Family Support
Supporting caregivers as needs change and care becomes more complex.
• Recognizing high-risk seizure patterns
• Navigating complex care at home
• Asking informed questions with confidence
• Making decisions as situations evolve
Guidance and Resources
Supporting families through the challenges of hospital care.
• Asking informed questions during medical care
• Advocating for a child’s safety and needs
• Navigating hospital systems and decisions
• Staying present while receiving practical support
Life-Saving Equipment
Providing families access to tools that protect children during seizures.
•Seizure detection and alert systems
• Emergency response equipment
• Seizure safety training
• Anti-suffocation supports
Advocacy & Awareness
Advocating for recognition, protection, and change.
• Seizure emergency awareness
• Education on SUDEP and respiratory risk
• Real family stories
• Advocacy for life-saving support
Our Vision for the Future:
We are working toward creating a dedicated respite centre designed specifically for children and adults with epilepsy and their families.
This space will provide safe and medically-informed care, while also supporting the mental health and well-being of caregivers.
Caring for a medically fragile family member is constant, high-stakes, and often isolating.
This future space will aim to provide:
• Medically safe respite care
• Mental health and emotional support for caregivers
• A calm, restorative environment for families
• Support for long-term caregiver sustainability
Because protecting a loved one also means protecting the caregiver
This is the future we are building. Together.
Every Second Matters
When a child stops breathing during a seizure, there is no time to wait.
In those moments, seconds determine everything and most families are left to face them alone.
Your support provides life-saving equipment, emergency training, and critical protection for children living with life-threatening epilepsy.
