Perry is alive, which is a miracle all in itself. Beyond that he has a survivors attitude which will serve him well in the challenges to come as he builds his life anew. After being mauled by a high speed boat propeller in a hit and run diving accident (with dive flag properly displayed) he is doing his best coping physically, emotionally and financially in the harsh aftermath.

Awareness and understanding of what a divers flag means is poor in the boating community. Consistent proper boat operation is another, larger problem but good luck with that.

Donating is easy, I just did so in about 20 seconds though PayPal. Any amount would be sincerely appreciated but I would ask that you dig deep. We can't turn the clock back to help him avoid this horrific and unjust accident but we can try to help his way forward into his new life. More about donating at:
