Welcome to my personal fundraising page for the 2024 Easterseals Eastern PA annual giving campaign. It’s been my honor to serve on the board for almost 10 years, currently as the immediate past board chair. It’s given me a front row seat to all the fantastic work the dedicated team at Easterseals does for people with disabilities living in our community. I’m amazed at the ever-expanding footprint of the organization across Berks County, the Lehigh Valley and the Pocono region. I’m also impressed with the wide variety of services Easterseals offers from early intervention services for young children to autism diagnostic services that can open the door to services for families with children on the autism spectrum, to individualized physical, occupational and speech therapy services for children of all ages, and job training for young adults. It’s all part of unlocking each person’s fullest potential and supporting their families. Please join me in supporting the vital work of Easterseals Eastern PA. Every dollar helps and your dollars help most of all. To learn more about Easterseals Eastern PA and the wonderful work it does, please visit www.easterseals.com/esep. You’ll be amazed at the scope of the services offered and the numbers of lived touched, and you’ll see how vital your support can be. Thank you.

Lilly is a bright, independent nine-year-old who attends Camp Lily Berks. Almost everyone who meets Lilly describes her as a ray of sunshine. Her smile lights up the room and her laugh can be heard across camp. It doesn’t matter if a camper is eighteen years old or ten years old, Lilly befriends them all and is a true camp ambassador, drawing everyone into activities and making sure everyone is included in the fun. With her contagious smile and positive attitude, she makes everyone feel welcome.
Lilly’s mother Nicole attributes this confidence in part to how comfortable and secure Lilly feels at camp, which she describes as a home away from home. “I know that Lilly is being taken care of and nurtured in so many ways,” states Nicole. “She’s given the opportunity to grow and try new things. As a result, she has blossomed into her independence.”
