Josh Collette broke his neck when he jumped into the ocean to save two kids from a California rip tide. Since the hero dad is now paralyzed and unable to talk, his wife is staying close by his hospital bedside, telling his story by lipreading his words. She spoke with Inside Edition's Jim Moret. Family members have started a GoFundMe account to help Josh move to a rehab facility specializing in spinal injuries. For more information, please visit:
