Blessed to Give: The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Southern Illinois

The foundation offers case management, support services, advocacy, education, respite, nursing, and therapy among other residential services in the metro-east area.

Among its services is its annual Camp ROEHR in June. The week-long camp gives youngsters, 6 to 18 years old, with epilepsy opportunities to focus on their strengths and make new friends. The camp has counselors and qualified medical support personnel.
