Jerod Nieder: A Journey of Resilience and Hope

A beach diving accident left him paralyzed from the chest down, drastically changing his life. Simple everyday tasks, such as opening doors or grabbing items from the refrigerator, became nearly impossible. Jerod found himself completely dependent on therapists and aids for his daily needs.
