Josh was injured in 2014 while living and working in Quito, Ecuador, when a bus he was traveling in overturned on the return from a weekend trip. He was asleep at the time of the crash and woke up with a spinal cord injury. The accident resulted in quadriplegia, significantly impacting his mobility and daily life.
