We greatly appreciate your support, interest and contributions.  More than one in every hundred people in South Africa has epilepsy, touching the lives of many more.  Despite all the treatments available, many people have still not been reached and are still ostracized from their communities.  The stigma and misunderstandings regarding epilepsy leave most people with epilepsy with poor self-esteems, unable to find work and therefore utterly dependent on goodwill.  Your contribution will help us to protect their rights and represent their interests.  You assist to ensure that they have equal access to opportunities enabling them to function optimally, live rich, fulfilling and happy lives and achieve their greatest potential in all spheres of life.  We thank you once again for your contribution.
