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.
