52 Faces of Community: Kehli Saucier
By Holly Desrosier
Sometimes you’ve got to hit rock bottom before you can reach the top. Kehli Saucier has personally experienced that, but through her determination and an abundance of kindness and compassion for others in similar situations, she has flipped the script on her own life and is helping many people follow suit.
Kehli’s father was in the Air Force, and she had what she referred to as an average military family childhood: living in several places and never staying in one place for too long. She had always identified as a “loner,” but this was significantly exacerbated after surviving a fatal car crash in high school. She woke up after five weeks in a coma and had extensive injuries, including a broken neck and traumatic brain injury. This was just the beginning of the many physical and mental challenges she would face.
