A Powerful Story of Progress

When Brinley was only two days old, doctors discovered that her brain had not formed fully or correctly. Her parents wondered, would she walk? Would she talk? They turned to Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley for answers.

Empowering Brinley

 

“Back then, so much was uncertain. But now we have more confidence in her future.”

Every milestone that Brinley has achieved is thanks to an Easterseals therapists. 

 "Emily taught Brinley to tie her shoes. Celine taught Brinley to walk. Connie taught Brinley to speak. Josephine taught her to ride a bike, ” said Tiffany Olson.

Empowerment has been a big piece of Brinley's independence. Easterseals has empowered her parents and siblings to be the best caregivers and partners while empowering Brinley in every aspect of her life.

The family gives back by participating in Easterseals' annual Run for the Kids: Superhero Hustle.
