Chuy's Story

Stories from the life of Jesse "Chuy" Macias served as the inspiration for the web series, "Better", which follows a dancer facing the same disease that Chuy has battled for the longer part of the past decade.
In this video, Chuy discusses his experiences with the disease and how he faces it while moving forward.

Hey man, this may sound like a "just-to-say" thing, but honestly, I admire you. This disease is not your choice but carrying on is your choice and needs courage.

I was one of Jesse’s friends . I met him at Lowe’s in Torrance. We started to hang out after work and on our days off. I witnessed him go from all good to being in a wheel chair. When he was in the wheel chair I would go pick him up in Gardena and take him back to my apartment I would carry him up the stairs and we just chill and bullshit about life. My mom loved Jesse he was one of a kind type of dude. I love and miss you stumbles, we will see each other again.
