2022 ESL Jefferson Award Winner: Santii Patel

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) - Santii Patel is a remarkable girl who isn’t afraid to step up.  Her mission was to help raise money for a wheelchair accessible swing for a local playground.  Santi started out selling Hot Cocoa for a dollar, and eventually reached out to the town and other organizations, raising enough money for a fully inclusive, neighborhood playground for all abilities.
