I'm so, so happy to see that Donna is okay. Here it is, 2024 and ive wondered all this time what became of her. This is the first time i learned her name and saw any follow up regarding her story. I feared that she was still being triaged at the base of the towers as the south tower collapsed. God bless you Donna!!

Kelly Reyher is the most amazing individual His story was the most intense and most shocking just watching and listening to what he faced, Which was overwhelming determination to survive and make critical life decisions in the presence of death which was all around him.I know he helped guide Donna and was determine to get her to safety no matter what..others could have left her to save themselves but Kelly stayed with her..Hes a true hero in my book and I"m happy to know that Donna survived even after the building collapsed as documentary i watched doesn't tell us that. So from New Zealand GOD BLESS Donna your Ok and I hope you stay strong. Like Kelly mentioned He survive the day and the event hes determine to survive the aftermath.

Is she the woman that the guy from 'I survived' helped her?

The ABC TV network aired a special on the first anniversary of 9/11 that lasted about an hour. Donna and a number of other people who barely survived, including Praimnath and Clark, are in it and give their testimony.
