How FACWHH Began

The Creator


Tara Todd, a Christian mother & fiance' from Texas Fiance - Desmond
Children - Taylor - 1 and Desmond - 2 1/2, a childcare provider, community leader, Epilepsy & TSC Advocate.
I love to read, write, dance and play with my kids. One of my dreams has always been to donate my hair to Lock Of Love and I did it February 06! (OH MY GOSH, MY HAIR)After a strong belief within myself and over due diagnostic that my son was Epileptic and possibly has TSC I added my advocacy title.
My children are my world and I would fight to the end to protect them, support them, and do my best for them!

Desmond - My Son


My son, 2 years old, was diagnosed with probable * TSC, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (12-30-06)and * Epilepsy (12-29-06) .. *
Neurologist is at Cooks Children's Hospital - Warren Marks.
Pediatrician - Kalamani "Kali" Subramanian
Epilepsy runs in my family, and apparently in their dads also. * Epilepsy is diagnosed when one person has had two or more seizures. TSC, a genetic, non-curable disorder, can cause learning delays of all sorts, speech, motor etc. due to the Tubers aka Tumors that can form in the body with in the main organs. It also causes white spots to form on the skin that are similar to birthmarks, BUT NOT, which was another issue that kept being over looked by the doctors after me repeatedly voicing my concern.. and worse, this can be fatal.You can read more info on TSC - http://www.tsalliance.org/
I thank god everyday that I can say, my sons seizures are controlled by Depakote and he is FAR FROM BEHIND.
Help me raise awareness! ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO ADD US!
God Bless,
Tara

Find a Cure With Helping Hands
FACWHH originated from the shock of my son being diagnosed with TSC and Epilepsy.
My hopes are to partner up with many companies who would be willing to make a donation to TSC or Epilepsy foundations as a supporter of FACWHH .
We currently have MANY official supporters.
Infant & Child CPR DVD
DVD can be found at : http://www.savibaby.com
Receive 10%OFF with code FACWHH
This DVD contains all the information needed for viewers to
assist any infant or young child in a time of danger.
With drowning and airway obstruction being two leading causes
of death in young children, every parent owes it to themselves and
their child to possess the skills necessary to act calmly and quickly
in any cpr or choking emergencies.
$5 OF EVERY DVD SOLD WILL BE DONATED TO THE FIND A CURE WITH HELPING HANDS CAMPAIGN IN ORDER TO HELP FIND A CURE FOR TSC AND EPILEPSY.
