Bellevue girl born on 9/11 donates birthday money to veterans

Olivia Graesser arrived in the world just as it radically changed, and she's been trying to improve it for most of her short life.
Her mother, Marsha Graesser, was induced the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. She watched the twin towers fall while in the delivery room. By the time Olivia was born around 7 p.m., the attacks were over but the aftermath had just begun.
“It's a hard day to celebrate because it's not a celebration for a lot of people,” Marsha said.
Marsha's 9/11 baby grew up in Bellevue to be a loving girl who's always worried about how others are doing.
