## Resource

On September 11, 2001, Cathy Weimer was stranded in Gander, Newfoundland, after her flight was diverted due to U.S. airspace closures — just one of thousands caught in the chaos. With no way to contact home and scarce resources, she found unexpected hope in the overwhelming kindness of locals who opened their homes, shared meals, and offered comfort. Twenty-five years later, she’s returning with her husband to revisit those places and honor the extraordinary compassion that turned a nightmare into a testament to humanity — now immortalized in a Broadway musical.
