Today's the day! We will be drawing the winner of the 2012 Chevy Cruze LS, benefiting injured veteran and Corona resident Jordan Sisco.
Army sergeant Jordan Sisco, 24, a Corona resident, lost both legs and his left thumb, and suffered serious damage to his pelvis, colon and bladder in 2012 after he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) while on foot patrol in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He was stabilized by medics in the field, and flown to Germany. Five days after the explosion he arrived in San Antonio, where he underwent intensive physical therapy at Brooks Army Medical Center.
The Home Depot Foundation and Habitat for Humanity Riverside renovated his home with improvements to give him a measure of independence and facilitate his adjustment to his new life. When his mother, Simone Sisco, sent him photos of the changes, she recalled his saying, “I’m overwhelmed. I can’t believe the love of strangers who took time to volunteer.”
Jordan joined the Army in 2008 after graduating from Santiago High School. He was serving with the 123rd Infantry Battalion when the accident occurred.
