🏋‍♀️⛹️Happy World Physical Therapy Day! 🦾👩‍🦽

Did you know that physical therapists do so much more than help people recover from injuries? They are experts in movement who help people of all ages improve their quality of life, manage chronic pain, and achieve their mobility goals. For children, PT often feels like play, but it's actually helping children build strength, coordination, and confidence to explore their world and achieve important developmental milestones!

We want to send a huge, heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteer Physical Therapists, Dr. Dana, and international teams. They are not just a PT; they are a true inspiration who helps our children find strength, mobility, and hope every single day. The dedication, care, and compassion they bring to The Inspiration Center are invaluable.
Happy World PT Day, and thank you!

🌸 In Loving Memory of Jaylin Jasher Esquiliano 🌸

With hearts full of gratitude, The Inspiration Center extends our deepest condolences to the family of our beloved former client, Jaylin Jasher Esquiliano, whose radiant spirit and determination touched us all.

During this incredibly difficult time, Jaylin’s family chose to honor her life and legacy by generously donating to The Inspiration Center in lieu of flowers. Their act of kindness, even in mourning, speaks volumes of the love that surrounded Jaylin and the impact she had on everyone who knew her.

To Sherrilyn Flowers, Javier Esquiliano III, and your entire family — we are truly humbled and thankful. Your donation will help us continue serving children with disabilities, just as we were honored to support Jaylin.

May her beautiful smile and joyful spirit continue to inspire us all. Her light lives on. 💜
