Easterseals hosts the only conference in Delaware focused on family caregivers.

John Suggs is counting down the days until his 12-day adventure at Easterseals Camp Fairlee, and it is not hard to see why.

When two-year-old Penelope “Penny” Pratz, of Wilmington, DE, started receiving Easterseals Children’s Therapy services, she was unable to stand on her own or walk. Her parents, Alexandra and Scott, were worried she may never walk, but they put their trust in Easterseals, and that made all the difference.
