The Brief A homeless fisherman who helped rescue passengers from a sinking boat in San Francisco is receiving support from friends to rebuild his life. The incident cost Montoya his livelihood as a commercial fisherman, forcing him to sell his boat and lose his home. Before the crash, Montoya dealt with a series of losses after his parents passed away. "So it was just like tragedy after tragedy after tragedy, and I'm not even supposed to be here like walking, you know? So when I saw [the sinking boat], you have to help, because it's a human life at the end of the day," he said.
