Turning Tragedy into Triumph: Michael ‘Mookie’ Wilson Shares How his Near Fatal Car Crash Led to Discovering the Superpower of Positivity.

On the How Can I Help? Podcast, guest Michael “Mookie” Wilson recounts his 2009 Mass Pike crash in heavy rain while speeding, which caused severe injuries including loss of upper front teeth and jawbone, a lost left ear, and a degloved right arm. If not for a good Samaritan’s How Can I Help? moment, he may have lost his life on the highway. He was treated at UMass Memorial and later rehabbed at Spaulding, where he was told he was a “walking miracle.” He chose a positive recovery path, endured many surgeries, regained hand function, and eventually played catch again. He founded the nonprofit Mookie’s Miracle to speak to youth, teaching “ABCs of Positivity”: Accept, Believe, Commit.  Follow Our Guests: Mookie's Miracle - WebsiteMookie's Miracle - InstagramMookie's Miracle - FacebookJoin the How Can I Help Movement!⁠⁠Grab Your Stickers!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How Can I Help Movement - Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How Can I Help Movement - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How Can I Help Movement - Facebook⁠
