Hi! My name is Nehashree Bheemu, Neha for short. I’m a high school junior from Massachusetts, and I started Purple Hour as a personal project. My cousin in India has epilepsy, and one day I found myself oceans and continents away, wondering how I could show her support. I couldn’t change the situation. But I could build something thoughtful. Something comforting.
Purple Hour was my answer. It’s not about solving everything, it’s about making someone feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. Purple Hour is a supportive community for teens with epilepsy, offering a safe space to connect, play games, and relax while sharing experiences and building friendships. The meetings are monthly over zoom where we play games, do crafts, and build relations!
