For a bigger part of mylife I've had to wear a seizure helmet. Since 2009 I have baught about five different helmets including the most recent one that I have now. Most of the ones before were foam rubber or leather. The most recent one is a hard shell helmet with a foam rubber liner on the inside with hard shell ear covers.
The reason for the hard shell up grade was because aboutt a month a go I was shopping a Wal-Mart when all of the sudden I passed out on the floor. The next thing I knew was that I was waking up with a manager telling me that I had a seizure. He told me that I had fallen pretty hard, and man did I feel it the next couple of days. The next couple of weeks I was to scared to go anywhere by myself . This is when I decided to try and upgrade to a hard shell helmet. My reasoning was that this would be more durable, and it would make me feel more safe. I will begin to tell you that seizure helmets are not cheap. This particular helmet cost me about $470 thats including the shipping cost. Being someone who works in fast food, this was not easy to come up with the money. On the news I saw stories of how some people were able to get help using croudfunding services. One particularly was GoFundMe, so thats what I did I set up a page and in about a month I was able to get my helmet. I am so thankful that a lot of my friends and family could help me raise the money for my helmet. Now my brain feels a lot safer because of it.
My mission here is to continue to bring you more great content. I enjoy bringing you an insite into my life with Leukodystrophy. I have alot of readers as well as a lot of listeners on YouTube. I would like to continue this but I'm having to raise some funds to keep my internet bill paid. So I am selling some uniqu items on Cafe Press to help fund my outreach. I am selling T-Shirts, Mugs, Buttons, and other cool things. As you can see that all my items have a Christian theme to them, that is because I'm not just a person with epilepsy, I'm also a firm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. So the proceeds from the sales will go twards keeping me online and also giving out of free Bibles if you would like a Bible please e-mail me brotherjohnspeaks@gmail.com Some of you may think that I may make a killing on all these items I sell but the truth is that I only make about $2.00 on each item after Cafe Press gives me my comission. I have to earn $25.00 before they will release funds to my PayPal account. I have picked out items to sell in my store that are for any buget so feel free to browse around and find an item that is right for you. Click Here to Shop
