Whatever you do, you need to extend eligibility for
people other than families of those who died or were
hospitalized. What about all the trauma people are
faced with now? Who need counseling? Who lost homes,
jobs?


I think if Americans were told that some of their
donations would go to these people, they would be just
as happy. Everyone who was directly affected in some
way (after all, we were all traumatized, but I'm sure
that to be there, to have seen it, to have run for
your life from it, to have looked for your child at a
daycare near ground zero, etc., etc....this is a
greater degree of trauma than for those of us who were
traumatized by watching the scenes on TV or even for
those of us who couldn't reach relatives for hours in
NY) should be eligible to make claims.


The elderly who can't home, who lost pets, the
children who need counseling from continuing
nightmares, the WTC unemployed, survivor guilt, all
these issues are very important and people need
financial resources to deal with them.


Please make the eligibility rules as liberal as
possible. Spread this money far and wide. There is
enough for everyone.


Thank you,
A Donor
