Jahnke benefit slated for April 6

Wheels to Independence Benefit for Alicia Ober “Jahnke,” daughter of Lee and Kim Jahnke, will be held noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at the Minn-Iowa Golf Course in Elmore. They will have a meal for a free will donation. Alicia was involved in a severe car accident in December 2021, that left her with a significant brain injury, which has brought challenges including walking and frequent seizures. Her husband assists her by lifting her in and out of their truck, however, this has become a safety concern for the both of them. This fundraiser will help provide the means for a wheelchair multi-lift unit, offering mobility and a pathway to freedom. All contributions will enhance Alicia’s daily life and help alleviate risks involved with her current situation. All are invited to help her on this journey towards independence.
