Awww what a sweet woman to not only worry about herself but the pets. She is a real one.

Dear Gail, my husband and I watched what happened in New York from our home in Perth Australia. It was around 10pm our time and we could not sleep all night. I cannot even begin to imagine what you went through. Your story really touched my heart! We are bird lovers also, so to hear you saved all the precious birds made me so happy. Your goodness is so apparent and I hope you are living a happy life xx

It was refreshing to hear stories from neighbors who lived through 9/11 as well as survivors from the towers and their families. It is wise to keep this history alive. Thank you.

I am a Brooklyn resident and will certainly go to panel n53 this week to humbly honor the memory of Wendy Rosario Wakeford in what small way I can.

Im in awe at this story but the fact that you could live in lower Manhattan in the financial district as a PET sitter and birds at that is INCREDIBLE. it's why i love NYC what a city. Lol I'm glad you saved the birds. I love birds!

Gail, thank you for telling your story! As a parrot parent I’m particularly grateful you saved the birds! All the best to you!

Thanks for sharing your story. So many unique stories from that day. This is heartbreaking like the rest of them, but I'm glad you were able to make it to safety (and save all those birds). Your friend who evacuated the high schoolers is the definition of courage.

Ahhh, Gail, thank you so much for sharing your 9/11 experience. You made it much more relatable for those who did not experience that horrible event.

Thank you, Gail and volunteers, for sharing your story.

thanks for taking care of the birds in your care.

You are such a great story teller, I could of listened to you all day, I’m glad your ok

What a touching story...thank you for reaching out

God bless you Gail. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s so important for people to listen to these.

Thank you for sharing your story! We never really heard about the locals and what you all had to go through! God Bless You!

God Bless You For Everything But Absolutely For Making Sure You took care of those Birds! .... while such a Benign fact but you are one of the gems in the world that thought about those birds.... I Hope The Rest of Your Days are filled with lots of Peace and comfort with lots of love from the Animal Kingdom as Well

I’m glad they got the birds out safely, I bet they were really confused and upset

Wow! I always wonder about the people who lived in the neighbourhood - this was very insightful. Thank you

thank you for sharing your story❤️

What a sweet and brave woman. We in Greece use to wish " be well". Meaning stay strong and healthy.

She is such a sweet woman. Beautiful soul

Your story is sadly and joyfully beautiful. You're as lovely and as gracious as ever.

Incredible woman!

I remember when the cell phone bills were that high. This lady had a $600.00 cell phone bill. In 2001, 2002, I had a flip phone. My bill was high.

In Ireland they would not pay for anything like that you have a great country

Thank you for your story.

Thank you Gail.

I want her for my pets! She is lovely!!
