Welles Crowther: A Life of Service

Welles Crowther was born into a close-knit family in Nyack, New York. From a young age, he exhibited an unwavering sense of empathy and a desire to help others. He volunteered at his local soup kitchen, tutored underprivileged children, and dedicated countless hours to service organizations.

Upon graduating from Boston College, Welles pursued a career in finance. However, his passion for making a difference remained at the forefront of his life. On weekends, he often worked at a camp for children with disabilities, bringing joy and laughter to those in need.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Welles was working on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower when the first plane struck. Amidst the chaos and terror, Welles made a selfless decision that would forever change his destiny.

Instead of evacuating, Welles chose to stay behind. Armed with a red bandanna to cover his face, he ascended to higher floors, searching for survivors. Witnesses recalled seeing Welles, his bandanna fluttering in the smoke-filled stairwells, offering comfort and assistance to countless individuals.
