Use What You Got

Starring Saul Martinez, WQW's Chief Program Officer

In 2007, Saul was deployed to Iraq where he was wounded by an IED, resulting in the loss of both of his legs. Since then, Saul has learned to live life as an amputee.

In this short video, Saul shares how people should interact with amputees, what it's like living with prosthetics, and how he reacts when kids ask about his legs.
