- From an appreciative and rested parent in our Respite Program
We are only days away from a brand new year full of hope, opportunity and growth. We are grateful for all that 2021 had in store for Easter Seals Greater Houston, including a record-breaking Walk With Me Houston, an incredible gift from MacKenzie Scott, celebrating our 75 year anniversary, and countless client victories. Thanks to the generosity of Holiday Adoption Donors, 200 people from 50 families are ending 2021 on an extremely high note with gifts and warm clothes!
We deeply appreciate you being part of our 75 year journey of providing life-changing services for clients of all ages with all types of disabilities in Houston and surrounding counties. We look forward to what 2022 has in store for each and every one of the 14,500+ babies, children, and adults with disabilities, Veterans, Service Members, and their families we serve annually. Thanks to community supporters like you, transformational programs will continue to grow and help people of ALL ages with ALL types of disabilities reach the height of their potential. We look forward to many more years of impact!
Disability is a broad term that covers those that use wheelchairs, but also the preemie with a developmental delay, the child with Down syndrome, the teen with autism that needs help entering the workforce, the adult with cerebral palsy that has aged out of most programming, the veteran struggling to reenter civilian life, and more. These people and their stories surround us--they're your coworker's daughter, elderly neighbor, friend's spouse and more depending on Easter Seals Greater Houston's programming. Disability touches each and every person's life and therefore investing in disability resources uplifts us all. Celebrate 75 years of transformational services with a $75 gift today! Camp is the Place for All of Us

Gratitude for the clients who work so hard to achieve their dreams and defy others expectations. Gratitude for the Easter Seals Greater Houston therapists, teachers, counselors, specialists, case managers, camp counselors, mentors, coaches and support staff who take our mission of providing help, hope and answers to heart. And deep gratitude for our community of supporters who fund the important work of helping over 14,500 babies, children, and adults with disabilities, Veterans, Service Members, and their families reach the height of their potential annually.
