A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share with you the 2024 Impact Report, highlighting our work to change how the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people's lives every day. This year, we supported over 12,400 children, adults, and seniors through the efforts of our team members working in 19 district service lines, programs, and engagement activities.

As Easterseals Louisiana, we take great pride in responding to the needs of our communities. This year, we launched our Supporting Survivors program, which offers help and hope to individuals and families affected by domestic abuse. In this report, you will learn more about this work and meet Janice, one of our first program participants. We also enrolled a record number of children and young adults at our ESL Chartwell Center, and doubled the number of families housed in Central Louisiana. You'll find personal stories of individuals supported, including updates on Dylan and Jaycee, whom you met last year. Both continue to grow, learn, and thrive in supported environments. 

Please enjoy this impact report, and thank you for your continued interest and support.

With gratitude,


tgsign

Tracy Garner, ESL President & CEO
