When my parents welcomed premature twins, Easterseals connected them to a team of therapists who knew how to help.

When I tagged along to my sister’s therapy sessions, Easterseals connected me to other siblings who understood this identity.

When Amy’s interest in sports pre-dated wheelchair leagues, Easterseals connected her to ragtag indoor soccer games.

When a new walking track was installed, Easterseals connected Amy to a harness so she could experience her first steps.

When I felt a pull to the mission, Easterseals connected me to a job that became my career.

When I became a working mom, Easterseals connected my kids to the most loving, inclusive daycare.

When my son was exhibiting signs of hearing loss, Easterseals connected him to the hearing aids he needed.

My connection runs deep.

I can’t possibly give as much as I’ve gained from this organization – but Giving Tuesday is a good day to try. I’m raising funds, so uninsured families have equal access to the unmatched community of support that exists at Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley.

There’s no shortage of causes that need champions today – thanks for connecting to this one.
