What We Do
We protect children living with life-threatening epilepsy.
And the families who fight to keep them alive.
Families like ours are sent home to manage life-threatening conditions alone.
We know what it feels like to carry the weight of keeping a child alive, without the tools, training, or support needed to do it safely.
The October Love Foundation exists to change that.
Caregiving Guidance & Support
We provide guidance, tools, and assistance to help families navigate the realities of caring for a child with life-threatening epilepsy.
Caregivers learn:
• Recognizing high-risk seizures
• Practical tools to support safe, informed caregiving
• Ongoing guidance for navigating complex care at home
+ more
Care doesn’t stay the same. And neither do the needs of the families we support. We are here as that journey evolves, offering guidance as situations change and decisions become more complex.
How We Protect Children
Life-Saving Equipment
We provide essential, life-saving equipment tailored to each child’s specific seizure type and risk.
This includes:
• Safety devices for seizure detection
• Emergency response supplies
• Seizure alert systems for overnight protection
+ more
For families living with high seizure safety risks, these tool are not optional. They are protection
Ongoing Support
We provide support and resources to families navigating the complexity of hospital stays
This includes:
• Guidance to help families ask informed questions
• Meals and essential resources
• Support for advocacy and decision-making
• Practical help that allows parents to be present at bedside
+ more
This is more than support. It is guidance that helps families prepare, respond, and advocate for their child’s safety and needs
Our Vision
We are working toward creating a dedicated respite retreat space for children & adults living with life-threatening epilepsy and the families who care for them.
A space designed not just for medical safety; but for relief, support, and the ability to rest without fear.
Access to safe, specialized respite care is extremely limited. For many families, it does not exist at all.
This leaves parents responsible for continuous, high-risk care without the ability to step away, recover, or breathe.
Our goal is to change that.
