Help James recover from cruise ship accident.

Donation protected
Hello. This GoFundMe is for my brother, James Michael Grimes. If you have been listening to the news lately, you might have heard about the man who went overboard on the Carnival Valor out of New Orleans the day before thanksgiving. This would be the guy! He has no memory of what happened that night, but he does remember the fight he faced once he woke up in the water. Treading water for more than 30 minutes is pretty tough for most people, and he had to do it for 20 hours!! It’s honestly and truly a complete miracle that he survived. Unfortunately, my brother is currently without health insurance. I am starting this in hopes that we can raise enough money to cover his medical bills. Anything will help! And we truly appreciate it. Also, we would like to thank the Coast Guard stationed in New Orleans. Without their help my brother would be lost.
