From angelsofepilepsy.org/transportation-assistance-initiative ↗About this program
For many people living with epilepsy, driving is not always safe or permitted due to seizure activity or medical restrictions. This can make attending medical appointments, picking up prescriptions, or handling essential errands extremely difficult. The Transportation Assistance Initiative exists to help remove this barrier by providing safe, reliable transportation support when it is most needed.
Through this initiative, Angels of Epilepsy offers Uber or Lyft transportation vouchers, typically valued at $25, for support with transportation to medical appointments, pharmacy visits, and other essential, seizure-related needs.
Transportation assistance is intended for short-term or situational support and is provided based on available funding.
This initiative is designed to support individuals living with epilepsy or seizure disorders, survivors who are temporarily or permanently unable to drive, and families and caregivers seeking safe transportation options for a loved one. All requests are reviewed individually, based on need and available resources.
Transportation barriers can delay care, increase stress, and put individuals at risk of unmanaged seizures. Providing safe access to medical services helps promote stability, independence, and overall well-being for people living with epilepsy.
