PHILADELPHIA - When 17-year-old Perrion O’Hannon hears about a life lost in Philadelphia his first instinct is to use his hands to heal.
He’s a natural at editing and was helping his mother make online posters for her event planning business.A few months ago, he started Philly Uprising with a simple post listing the names of young people who have been killed in Philadelphia."I want them to be remembered as an angel," O’Hannon said. "I always use a picture of the person with a smile on their face because I want them to know like they're at peace, even knowing that their life was stolen from them."He wants people to understand that those lost to gun violence are more than just statistics, they’re people.
