My Story…

Our family’s dream for Janie’s future is that she is able to care for herself and go to school with others in a “normal” environment. For us, inclusion means that Janie is a part of something greater than just having autism. It really means that we, as a family unit just do things a little differently. Being empowered means to make Janie stronger and more confident in herself to achieve her goals and be able to take life head on. “We try everything once and we all learn from our Janie to make the situation better for next time.” Janie has hit so many milestones since we have been an been at Easterseals, it’s so hard to just define one. I will say that we have been well taken care of at Easterseals and Charlie Jane is excelling with the program at the Easterseals Learning Academy. We are so blessed!

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.
