If you have found your way to this Easter Seals fundraising page, then you must be somewhat familiar with the miraculous story of our Libi Faith. She came home from China to our family in the spring of 2008 with many challenges. She was two years old and barely able to sustain holding her head up for 30 seconds. Before we had left for China, the Easters Seals team was on our side and the 3rd week home we were getting an evaluation from the team.
She was diagnosed with Hypotonia, and began a full therapy regiment with the therapists at ES. She has made consistent improvements from steadying her head, to sitting up, then bouncing on her knees, and about 2 months ago she began crawling to get around. She went from being bottle fed, to self feeding with her fingers. She has never once hit a ceiling that she couldn't break through. She has learned to communicate with some basic signs, and in any drive-thru knows how to ask for a "han...gerger".
We are so grateful to the wonderful work of the Easter Seals team that we can't help but do our part to raise awareness and financial support for this fantastic organization. The therapist have truly become like family, spurring Libi on, teaching her and celebrating each goal reached.
We would ask each of you to consider partnering with us to help spur on Easter Seals financially by supporting them. Then we can all celebrate together when they meet their goals, to reach more children in the Central Illinois area that are impacted with special needs.
The Arnold family thanks you for your partnership.
