A Life Changed Through Community Service
The Oxford Lions Club is proud to celebrate a project that truly demonstrates what can happen when a community comes together to help a neighbor in need.
Since 2019, Jenna Santos has lived with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a condition that severely impacted the use of her right leg and left her believing she might never drive again. While a Cecropia Strong grant helped her learn to use adaptive driving equipment, the cost of modifying a vehicle remained out of reach.
Through an LCIF District Community Impact Grant and the generosity of numerous community partners, that obstacle was removed.
Special thanks to the Oxford Lions Club, Webster Lions Club, L & L Concrete, Webster/Dudley Veterans Council, DAV Chapter 53, Webster PAV, and Webster VFW for their support. Grant assistance was provided by King Lion Fran King, donations were coordinated by Lion Al Beland, and Vice President Lion Jeff Gale coordinated with Advance Wheels to obtain the project documentation and funding requirements needed to complete the project.
Advance Wheels of Oxford completed the adaptive vehicle modifications, allowing Jenna to return to driving independently.
"Because of your generosity, I have regained my independence, reconnected with my social life, and taken a major step toward returning to work. Thank you for giving me my freedom and my future back."
