Saifon Plewtong's mission is to share healthy food, love and hope with those in need through The Free Pantry.

Saifon Plewtong is the co-founder of The Free Pantry. Growing up, Saifon lived on a small island with lush vegetation. Fruits and vegetables of all shapes and colors were abundant; food was literally hanging everywhere. She never needed money or even touched it until she was teenager. Everything she needed was on that island and she could eat as much as she wanted whenever she wanted it. She noticed the miraculous design in nature. She watched as seeds from trees fell to the ground, sprouted from the soil and grew into beautiful trees and vines. She watched flowers turn into fruit and saw that each fruit had a special protective shell to keep it from being damaged by bugs and weather. She couldn’t help but notice that even the seasons were part of this amazing design, working together to produce the fruits and vegetables that she grew to love so much. Her work continues through the free pantry.

On October 4, 2002, Lyena Strelkoff climbed a tree while on a date in the Malibu hills. One point two seconds later, she was on the ground. She’d fallen 25 feet, broke her back, and become paraplegic.

As a lifelong dancer and outdoor enthusiast, paralysis was especially catastrophic. In an instant, she had lost the things she valued most.

But paralysis didn’t just change her life… It transformed it.

The fall, itself, felt eternal to Lyena. "Never had I been so present, so at peace. In a moment of clarity, I understood — “Everything you need to know is happening right now.” My job was clear: Pay attention. Observe my experiences as much as living them."

That shift in mindset – being curious about what was happening, instead of fighting, hiding, or giving up — set the stage for learning to relate to paralysis, rather than react. And the magic started to flow.

Lyena found herself on a new path, one that revealed her purpose, redirected her career, inspired romance, built a family, and catapulted her life far beyond anything she’d imagined before. "I was thriving. And I knew it wasn’t despite paralysis. It was because of it."
