Donate
Help provide a future where every child is 100% included and 100% empowered. Nearly everyone will experience disability at some point in their life. For many children at Easterseals, this experience occurs in their most formative years. Pediatric therapies are crucial to their development, yet private insurance falls short and Medicaid leaves few options for families in need. On average, donations cover 25% of every therapy session. It's why we’re asking for your help. Read more here.
