We're raising funds to empower respiratory outcomes for children.
Our family established the Massery Fund at Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley out of respect and gratitude for renowned respiratory therapist, Mary Massery, and the therapy team at Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley. Easterseals meets the needs of children with respiratory concerns through independent consultation with Mary Massery, PT, DPT, DSc.
Our twin daughters, Lily & Addy, have benefited from comprehensive therapies at Easterseals since coming home from the hospital in 2021. We have firsthand experience with the Easterseals Respiratory Clinic and the difference this specialized service has made for our girls.
Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley offers the only pediatric respiratory clinic in the Chicagoland area designed to comprehensively assess and treat respiratory issues spanning from infancy to adulthood. Respiratory health is key to helping children achieve their therapeutic goals.
Your support of the Massery Fund this Giving Tuesday will further:
- Respiratory clinic consultations and physical therapy sessions for families who are uninsured and underinsured
- Expansion of the one-of-a-kind clinic to reach more children in the Chicagoland area
- Clinical Training and Mentoring of a respiratory consultant within Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley
- Professional Development within the clinical team
