Dear friend,
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Milton and Helene, our community faces
serious challenges.
We need your support to help rebuild and provide essential resources
to those impacted by these devastating storms.

As we begin to assess the wake of Hurricane Milton, which made
landfall last Wednesday, we've received reports from Sue
Ventura, President and CEO of Easterseals Florida. She shared,
"I was without power until [Friday] morning, but no damage at my
home." However, the situation at Camp Challenge, an inclusive
Easterseals recreational facility, is much more severe. The camp
offers a petting farm that serves as a therapeutic, fun activity for
campers. A massive tree crushed the barn at the petting farm.
Thankfully, all the animals are unharmed, but there was extensive
destruction, with a water line out, fallen trees, downed fencing, and
damaged animal shelters and habitats.
Our teams in North Carolina and Georgia also experienced significant
storm damage. Many of our employees and families we serve are in
urgent need of assistance.

Sheri Coleman, President and CEO of Easterseals East Georgia, shared
their experience: "A tree fell on our building, requiring
immediate removal and roof tarping. We're currently waiting for
the insurance inspection to determine our next steps. Many employees
are dealing with damage to their homes. Right now, we urgently need to
ensure that our employees have access to water, food, and cleaning
supplies. Although we've just come off boil-water restrictions, the
water coming from our faucets isn't clear."
These stories from Sue and Sheri make up a small fraction of the
alarming updates that are coming in from impacted Easterseals
communities. Right now, our teams lack the resources to provide needed
assistance for their employees, families, and community , which is why
we are reaching out to you. Your contributions will directly provide
essential resources like clean water, food, and cleaning supplies for
all impacted by the storms.
Your contribution can make a profound difference. By donating, you
will ensure our employees and families have access to essential
resources as they begin to rebuild their lives.
Together, we can show our commitment to helping our communities heal
and recover.
