Marcelino survived two military tours of duty, but was severely injured in a motorcycle accident once he was back home in the U.S. He suffered multiple fractures, disc locations in his spine, a collapsed lung, and a traumatic brain injury.
For the last year and a half since the accident, he’s been in constant pain and confined to a wheelchair. Marcelino’s wife, Tisha, says he is also deeply depressed. “I was a strong man … this accident took away my freedom, my purpose, my passion,” Marcelino tells us.

Post-surgery, Marcelino’s walking freely and smiling again. “I feel amazing!” he says.
