The formation of Keith's House is a passionate dream of our family and friends. Keith's House will bring young adults with epilepsy and brain injury together, providing them with support groups, socialization oppportunities and volunteer opportunities in the community and charter schools. This will provide an avenue for epilepsy sufferers to be involved in their communities, but their presence will serve to promote epilepsy awareness.
Keith was 21, living on his own and attending college when this virus overtook him. Keith spent several months living on a respirator, followed by a transfer to a brain rehabilitation hospital before his indelible spirit came back to us. We were all so blessed to have him back. Keith continues to struggle with seizures, but no matter what happens, he keeps that radiant smile on his face. His "will" to continually push forward and make the best of his life is an inspiring quality to everyone around him.
As a result of Keith's journey, Keith's House is dedicated to improving the social and mental lives of young adults who have suffered a catastrophic life altering brain illness.
