I’m extremely grateful for this video. I got diagnosed with epilepsy two months ago. Hearing about cameron and how much this foundation is impacting particularly the epilepsy community is so overwhelmingly positive and supportive. Thanks a ton guys, may god bless you all

[@dannblair]

when Sophie said that she didn’t want to move forward after Cameron passed, that hit me so hard because I’ve noticed that from me like after i lost my best friend, my uncle and my grandma last year, i didn’t want to move forward because i didn’t want them to go away. and of course i’ve lost people in the past but in the wake of losing someone i don’t want to move forward because i thought that i would lose them

[@kendall6287]

Karan and Sophie are so articulate! You can tell Cameron’s spirit lives on through them ❤

[@fearcurls]

Cameron saved me 🩶

[@user333happyvibes]

Sending love to you, Eye do not know you but as a fellow human Eye have love for you!!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@KatesArchiveLol]

This is the most beautiful thing. I'm only four minutes into the video, but I'm blown away by this being carried on by friends. So often it feels like the only ones championing the epilepsy cause are the individuals and families affected; let's change that! I am so moved by y'all's compassion, energy, and effort. Thank you from the bottom of my heart from the mama of an epilepsy warrior in TX.

[@liamholton8937]

I relate to their pain, during 2020 COVID lockdowns, a good friend of mine unexpectedly passed away in her sleep from epilepsy complications. It was a hard thing to deal with, but she lives on in all of us. Also, still have a hard time processing that Karan has a strong American accent, his Indian voice on his shows was so strong and convincing!

[@genevawelsh9133]

I have epilepsy myself since I was 16 (I am 22 now going on 23). And the one of the things that frustrated me besides trying to seek the right medication was also trying to find at least one other person that understands me from my perspective instead of having to explain all the time everytime I go to a public place to volunteer, talk to my teachers or my friends is "I have epilepsy, these are signs,this is how you take care of a seizure" etc. Seeing things like the Cameron Boyce Foundation bring the topic of epilepsy to the public for those who are diagnosed, who maybe to shy to speak of it,are recently diagnosed, or even want to simply reach out to other people who are also diagnosed as well is amazing. Even just by the name itself you feel connected with Cameron. Keep up the good work guys !

[@mariahmartinez394]

Reading your comment and hearing your story is so similar to mine. It’s crazy I felt the same way I started having epilepsy at 11 years old. I am now 22 going on 23 this year. It’s never an easy thing to speak about or let others know about, so I think even just commenting on social media like KZbin is such a big thing as well as the Cameron Boyce foundation. I’ve watched Cameron Boyce since I was little and I never knew he had epilepsy. It’s such an amazing thing with his friends and family is doing to continue his story

[@Ilhame_al]

I got last week a seizure on the outside tuesday 1 august this day I was going to my job and in the bus I got a seizure begin august and the ambulance brings me to the hospital but everything was fine later but thanks to this I lost my job cause my colleague she is also a racist and racist people won’t give you a second change unfortunately😔😔

[@dauniestream]

I have epilepsy too but I had it since I was a baby and right now i'm 28. I know how you feel. And I agree.

[@mommab466]

My kids and I watched Jessi when it was on originally. We were devastated when he died. I appreciate that y’all have started this foundation because I feel people don’t know about a lot about it. I didn’t about anything about it until after a friend was diagnosed with epilepsy.

[@GabbyTTran]

As a younger person who lost her older sister to a different illness, losing an older sibling to their chronic illness isn’t easy I’m glad this foundation was created to honor Cameron , glad he had extremely GREAT Childhood friends who continue to honor and help others Who deal with epilepsy and continue to improve & to work improve the world challenges that Cameron Boyce believed in He would have eventually became one of my favorite actors if he did not pass away so soon! I am glad to see his loved ones started this foundation in memory of Cameron Boyce after 3 years later, this showed Cameron was LOVED by his family, friends and fans. I found out last year June 2023 after watching descendants movies and Descendants 3 for the first time.

[@vaishnavikonidena1532]

RIP Cameron 😭💔💔 I miss him so much 😭😭😭 😢😢😢 I loved him in descendants 💗 I cried so much when i heard about his death 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 He is forever alive in our hearts 💜💜

[@oliverhood1732]

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since he died

[@thizzzanubis8188]

Ugh he meant the world to me. So inspiring and creative. I’m so glad they seem healed enough and had each other❤

[@BriaunnaMartinez]

I remember after his passing I felt so guilty about it because I have so many medical issues and at one point I had epilepsy and some how survived it when I found out he had it and died from it I had so many questions in my head of why was such an amazing human being like Cameron dead and I wasn't

[@dauniestream]

I have to say Cameron really has great friends, friends who wants to share what Cameron was going through and wanted to do. Karan and Sophie thank you for this, I know it was probably shocking for you both to witness his passing in front of your eyes especially Karan. As a person who has Epilepsy, since I was a baby even until now. I am so thankful for the cameron boyce foundation to spread and teach people about Epilepsy and how people around them should take actions. Because when I had seizure in school, none of my teachers and professors didn't know what to do. In high school, I was always brought to emergency room to the point where the doctors and nurses in the emergency room were like why is she here again she doesn't have serious injury from seizure make her rest in nurse office in school. if she has serious injury when she has seizure then bring her to the emergency room. And during college, not all of my professors knew about me having Epilepsy, sometimes I was afraid to even bring it up. But I was glad that some of them wanted to know how they should take actions. I had couple of friends who told me not to worry because they would be always with me. Through this foundation I was so happy because I really did wanted many people to know about Epilepsy because schools don't really teach you about it and how people should react. I was very disappointed to see that. But this foundation gave me hope and a place where I can share about my life as a Epileptic person. I get anxious when I work because I don't want my coworkers and my boss to be worried but I'm sure Cameron went through a lot more because none of us knew he had Epilepsy until he passed away. I was so shocked because he was a person like me and seeing him on TV shows made me so happy because he always had a bright smile and was a cheerful and such an amazing actor. I just want to say thank you making this foundation, a community to show people like Cameron and me, people with Epilepsy to have hope and a new beginning. ❤

[@brianaw]

Always a true beautiful friendship 🤍

[@pepper26283]

[@megsacting3314]

When Cameron died and I went back to school and two girls behind me mocked seizures and I turned to them and they said sorry ( in a not sorry tone) and the school I was in I was new at it and I know my old classmates my new classmates would be like I’m sorry that you lost your favorite actor and if you need anything we’re here and the classmates I graduated with didn’t do that at all. And what I mean by that my old classmates would comfort me is because they saw me have a seizure and my classmates I graduated with didn’t I even didn’t take my medicine sometimes to see if I would have a seizure in front of my classmates that I graduated with because I wanted them to see that part of me that doesn’t come out that much.

[@nicolecox2509]
