Hero’s Sacrifice Leaves Him Paralyzed | California News
Description
A San Clemente hero, 42-year-old Josh Collete, dove into a rip current to save two kids—only to suffer catastrophic spinal injuries himself. Despite breaking two vertebrae and becoming paralyzed from the shoulders down, he says he’d do it again. His wife performed CPR on the spot, and their community has rallied around them, helping with everything from meals to schoolwork for their five kids. Now, they’re moving to a specialized facility in Colorado, and an online fundraiser is underway to cover costs. The kids made it out safe—and his wife calls him their family hero.
