Easter Seals Month
For over 80 years, The Easter Seal Society, Ontario has been assisting
kids with physical disabilities by funding costly equipment such as wheelchairs,
walkers, and communication devices, providing accessible recreational experi-
ences at Easter Seals camps and through our Recreational Choices Funding
Program. We are dedicated to helping kids with physical disabilities succeed.
The Cost of a Helping Hand
Easter Seals Ontario provides funding to families of kids with physical
disabilities for costly equipment. As children grow, most equipment must
be replaced and can cost families between $10,000 and $40,000 a year.
The generous dollars contributed give children with physical' disabilities
the tools they need to achieve their full potential and future independence.
Here are some examples of the costs incurred by Easter Seals families:
