Meet Jessie Hippenstall, affectionately known as the “Penny Lady,” and a true Easter Seals Society of PEI champion!

Since the early 2000s, Jessie has raised over $30,000 through her heartfelt “change collection” campaigns—proving that even small coins can make a big impact. She’s already out collecting again this year and will join us on the Tim Hortons Ambassador School Tour!

Easter Seals has been part of Jessie’s life since 1992. “Wheelchairs and equipment can cost a lot,” she says, “and I just want to help. Easter Seals is my HERO.”

Jessie, thank you for your unstoppable spirit and for showing us the power of giving with heart.
