Description: When Jonathan, a 19-year-old American student, falls from a 70 ft. cliff in Northern India and wakes up in a nearby hospital, he is told he may never walk again. As a C5-C6 quadriplegic, Jonathan has limited upper-body strength and no sensation or movement in his hands or below his arms. He shares the same spinal cord injury as two Indian military veterans: Krishnan, 46, a resident at the military rehab center in Pune; and Navin, 38, who is living independantly and starting a school for street children in Delhi. But their cir***stances and those of civilians are drastically different... Riya, 14, was following instuctions when her coach told her to dive into the (unmarked) shallow end of the pool; Rahul, 23, was defending his uncle from a drunk neighbor when the mans shoulder fell upon his neck. From working class families, they have no medical insurance and no government support. Where are the resources that will empower them? Who can best help them find their lives again? Can a gift really come from your worst nightmare?

SPINALpedia is a social mentoring network and video archive that allows the spinal cord injury community to motivate each other with the knowledge and triumphs gained from our individual experiences.
We envision a society where people with paralysis are no longer isolated and can return to being active members of the community. In order to realize that goal, we need to unite our community and find strength in the power of our experiences.
