75 Years of Help, Hope and Answers
Disability is a broad term that covers those that use wheelchairs, but also the preemie with a developmental delay, the child with Down syndrome, the teen with autism that needs help entering the workforce, the adult with cerebral palsy that has aged out of most programming, the veteran struggling to reenter civilian life, and more. These stories and people surround us--they're your coworker's daughter, elderly neighbor, friend's spouse and more depending on ESGH's programming. Disability touches each and every person's life and therefore investing in disability resources uplifts us all.
