Funding causes for those affected by epilepsy
Make a difference
We aspire to be like Georgia. She knew no limits, and now in spirit, she is limitless. She lived her life with no glass ceilings. She wanted to be an actress, a movie writer, director, animator, artist, fashion designer, computer game creator, software coder, skin and make-up entrepreneur, NASA scientist, teacher, psychologist, counselor, and the best Auntie to her niece and nephew. She lived with epilepsy, and although a challenging part of her dynamic life, she faced it with determination to live with courage and conviction. She was known for giving sincere compliments to strangers, and not leaving you without saying how much she loved, loved, loved you. Our goal is to be like Georgia, living each day to its fullest, and sharing love, multiplied by 3 = ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 2024 Campaign
One week before Georgia went ahead, she spoke of wanting to volunteer at Camp Coelho, an overnight sleep away camp for young people affected by epilepsy, located in Occidental, CA. Doctors and nurses from UCSF volunteer here yearly, making sure the experience is safe, and that campers can have independence away from home. GRP Foundation made a $2,500 donation, funding 5 campers in 2023. Trinity and Evan Pellkofer visited the camp that summer, and saw first hand the beauty and love shown by all involved with this special yearly experience. The GRP Foundation is committed to providing scholarships for this important camp that facilitates connection, community and friendship for young people who experience seizures. Help us send more campers to Camp Coelho. Funding campers affected by epilespy
Funding Under the Lights by Miles Levin
Under the Lights is a movie that aims to change stereotypes of young adults living with Epilepsy. Georgia knew Miles, the writer and director, both as young adults who have epilepsy, as students at Santa Rosa Junior College, and as two people passionate about acting, writing and theater arts. Georgia was inspired by Miles. On July 12th, 2022, 9 days before Georgia went ahead, an article in the Press Democrat featured Miles and his efforts to expand his award winning short film about living with epilepsy into a feature film. It also mentioned that he was a Board Member for the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, and that he himself attended and volunteered at Camp Coelho. Georgia told her mom that she too wanted to get more involved in Epilepsy advocation, both for the camp and beyond. She spoke of how challenging it is living with the condition and how she wanted to make a difference for those affected by epilepsy. Help us support the film in production to get it ready for it's release internationally. “I have always known everything that has and will be in my life.”
“Trust your gut, always”
