I started having epilepsy when I was 13 and and had my first tonic clonic when I was 16. I am now 26. I cannot drive, where I live there is no public transportation, and this just makes life hard. If anyone knows a way I can have free medical or anyway to help please let me know.

Thank you for sharing Kendall's story. As a mom to a child with Epilepsy I can relate very well to Kendall's mom.
