Help Shera raise money

For participating in Virtual Easterseals Hero Walk

My Story…

Odie is a super big joy that brightens the day of all those he meets. He brings a smile to so many people with his enthusiasm, cheerfulness, and playful attitude. Since starting at Easterseals over two years ago, Odie has gone from being almost completely nonverbal to vocalizing and repeating so many new sounds, words, and short phrases. He has even started to try and sing along to songs which is something we were afraid we may never have seen from him. Before the pandemic, Odie would hop in the car to make the almost hour long drive to Easterseals every day where he would work hard receiving ABA therapy, Speech therapy, and Occupational therapy. Odie has since been receiving telehealth to help keep him and other children who receive services at Easterseals safe and healthy. It would be awesome if you could help cheer on Odie and others like him and be a part of this years virtual Hero Walk with us.

Description

Hello all!

I am raising funds for the children and families at Easterseals Central Illinois. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Easterseals had to suspend in person services, leaving many children without the important services they need. In just weeks, Easterseals launched a Telehealth program, allowing many children to begin receiving services once more.

It is more important than ever that the children in our community with developmental delays, disabilities and other special needs receive the services they need to be 100% Included, 100% Empowered. By donating to my fundraising page, you can help make that happen.
