Addy & Lily

At our Gala three years ago, we introduced Addy and Lily – twin sisters, who were born conjoined at the chest and spent nearly 11 months in the hospital before undergoing the surgery that would successfully separate them.

We also honored a team of Easterseals therapists who supported Addy and Lily’s earliest achievements and are still a part of their milestones.

Addy & Lily

Kindergarten Ready!

Now, the girls are off to kindergarten – breathing easily, running confidently, eating independently, and talking endlessly.

"From some of their earliest challenges to this incredible milestone, Easterseals has helped Addy and Lily grow into confident, capable little girls who are ready to take on kindergarten, and our family will always be grateful for that gift."

Chicagoland's Only Pediatric Respiratory Clinic

We invite you to learn more about our specialized Respiratory Clinic that helped get Addy and Lily ready for kindergarten.

Join their family in empowering respiratory outcomes for other children at Easterseals. Respiratory health is key to helping children achieve their therapeutic goals.
