🙏🏽 to the families of those who never made out. I am a 9/11 survivor. I worked on the 99th floor of Tower 2 and escaped just minutes before the building collapsed. I’m a believer, and I truly believe the Holy Spirit guided my escape. 🙏🏽 I wrote a book about my experience called 99 Floors to Purpose, available on Amazon. ❤️
Glad you're a survivor. 🙏🏽 God is good... I just downloaded your book.
God bless America! Be considerate and kind today. I pray no one has to experience what happened on this day again. 🇺🇸🙏❤️
“Never Forget.” 😞 🙏🙏
It’s also sad, to this day, the first responders still have to pay for their own medical expenses. Something must be done to alíviate their burden
