The work that Easterseals does to support children and young adults with disabilities and their families is invaluable. I have been involved with Easterseals Eastern Pennsylvania for two years now as a board member. To get a firsthand glimpse into the dedication and passion of the individuals who provide this important community service has been an incredible experience. Please consider supporting Easterseals today. All gifts -- large or small -- help to ensure these vital services are provided to those who need it most. Thank you!
