A window washer who survived after falling 11 stories and onto the roof of a car in San Francisco has been moved to a rehab facility.
Pedro Perez continues to recover from injuries suffered during the late November fall. He is also learning that strangers have opened their hearts and wallets to help his family pay the bills.
"He started crying because he couldn't understand how much people had helped and how much actually cared," said Monica Perez, his daughter. "It touched his heart that he is not going to have to worry about us as much as he thought."
The family had been living on workers comp, and hoped to raise $20,000 through a fund raising site to offset living expenses. So far, donations have topped $78,000 -- and many come with touching messages from donors who have never met Pedro Perez.
Monica Perez said her father is doing better and is eager to follow his therapy. She added that her father does not remember the accident.
"We are lucky to still have him," she said.
