As part of our ongoing mission to spread epilepsy awareness, Neuro Aid partnered with Motion and Light for a special outreach session at a local nursing home. We engaged residents by creating and sharing handmade bracelets while educating them about epilepsy and the importance of community understanding. Motion and Light also led a gentle chair yoga session, distributed handmade cards, and facilitated craft activities to bring joy and connection.
Volunteers of Neuro Aid & Motion and Light came together to make these personalized handmade cards
We taught them how to bead and helped them create their own bracelets
We gave out our handmade cards, and it was wonderful to see how much joy they brought.

Join us to paint your pumpkin purple and help raise awareness for epilepsy!
Autumn is here and if you are like us, you are ready for cooler weather, warm apple cider and gourds and pumpkins everywhere! This fall, the Epilepsy Foundation needs your help to raise awareness and funds for the epilepsy community. Join the Purple Pumpkin Project and paint your orange pumpkin patch purple.
Raise Awareness and Funds with the Purple Pumpkin Project. Over 3.4 million people live with epilepsy in the United States. That’s a lot of people! Our Purple Pumpkin Project raises money to assure them that they are not alone. Display your Purple Pumpkin, and post your story and photos on your fundraising page and via social media to build awareness about epilepsy and support the Epilepsy Foundation in the fight to END EPILEPSY. It’s amazing what a small can of purple paint and a fruit can do. (yes, pumpkins are fruits!)
As part of our ongoing mission to promote neurological awareness and support our community, Neuro Aid partnered with Ability Connection a center dedicated to serving invididuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). During our collaboration, members volunteered by helping hosty a Christmas party where we served food, played games, and spent time with participants. On additional visits, we contributed to organizing the center, helped individuals with learning activities, provided support at mealtimes, and hosted interactive games like Bingo. This partnership allowed us to create meaningful connections while supporting both of our missions.
