Today is a very special episode of The Brighter Side, we have the man himself Jason Saenz to talk all about his fall that put him in a wheelchair and what his recovery process is like. The man is doing good, better than we could have hoped for, but there is a long road ahead full of lots of expensive stuff insurance companies refuse to pay for. We're not done helping this man!
