A Place to Feel at Home: Denise and Eddie’s Story

For the past two years, Denise has been a familiar and friendly face at Easterseals Florida’s Day Break program. She arrives each morning with a smile and plenty of energy. Her cheerful greetings in both English and Spanish help make everyone feel welcome and get the day off to a great start.

Denise attends Day Break Monday through Friday and enjoys the daily activities and routines. She is known for her kindness, respect for others and the positive energy she brings to the program.

Day Break has also made a meaningful difference in the life of her brother, Eddie. Knowing Denise has a place where she feels comfortable, receives individual attention and is encouraged to participate means a great deal to him.

Care That Makes a Difference

One of the things Eddie appreciates most about Day Break is how the staff understand and support Denise. They give her space when she needs it, provide individual attention and encourage her to participate in activities.

Eddie describes the staff's affection and care as “amazing” and says the program has exceeded all his expectations. Knowing Denise is happy, safe and surrounded by people who genuinely care about her gives him peace of mind while he manages his daily responsibilities.

More Than a Program

At Day Break, Denise has a place where she can enjoy activities, spend time with others and feel at home. Her kindness and cheerful personality have made her a valued part of the program.

For Eddie, the greatest comfort is knowing his sister is in good hands and treated with the care and respect she deserves.

As Eddie shared, he is most grateful to have a place where Denise is cared for, respected and genuinely loved. For their family, Day Break has become much more than a program. It is a place where Denise feels at home and Eddie finds comfort knowing she is surrounded by people who truly care.
