(NBC Miami) – Two local families are hoping to make a difference by honoring their daughters after they were involved in a Labor Day Weekend boat crash in 2022.
Katerina “Katy” Puig is defying the odds after she was left with a traumatic brain injury. The 19-year-old is currently in Jacksonville undergoing 30 to 35 hours of therapy per week.
“It was tough, but she ended up making it through,” said Katy’s father, Rudy Puig. Puig was one of 14 passengers aboard George Pino’s boat that crashed into a channel marker on Sep. 4, 2022. CONTINUE
