Kara's Story

Smiling Kara

Kara, diagnosed with epilepsy, suffered from frequent seizures. Anti-seizure medications didn’t seem to help. Her CHOC doctors knew exactly what to do to treat her. Kara underwent neurosurgery at CHOC to remove the portion of her brain that was causing the seizures, and Kara hasn’t had a seizure since.


As Orange County’s premier pediatric healthcare system, CHOC has been committed to nurturing, advancing and protecting the well-being of children for over 50 years. Kara’s family is grateful for the care and attention their child received and they wanted to share their story to inspire others to help support CHOC’s lifesaving care, treatment and research. Please consider making a gift so we can continue to improve the health of more than two million children in this region who are counting on us.

I want to help kids like Kara!

From the little things that help kids be kids to major grants for life saving research, we ensure each dollar received is maximized to its fullest potential–to help our children reach theirs.
