Tuesday, November 06, 2001 3:16 AM comments Greetings, Like many of my fellow Americans my heart went out to the victims of the 9/11 tragedy - my wife and I donated generously in an attempt to assist the families affected by these horrible events. Suffice to say that we certainly expected the overwhelming percentage of what we gave to go *directly* to those personally impacted by the disaster - when I hear reports that the American Red Cross will be distributing less than 20% of the money it collected to the actual victims I am sickened and angered. All the hand waving and bureaucratic explanations in the world cannot shake my unswerving conviction that this outcome is simply, unequivocally wrong. You all are the "department of justice" well, where is the justice here? My wife and I are kind hearted but we are not wealthy - had we known what a fiasco this would all turn out to be we probably would have explored other alternatives. I never expected things to go the way they apparently have, it is a monumental injustice. The sad thing is - none of this actually makes life better for those families who have been ripped apart by this senseless violence ... if nothing else can be done, please publish a validated list of names and addresses and my wife and I will see what we can do to come up with something additional to help. The aid situation is truly a travesty but that should not deter our and steadfast determination to truly bring whatever relief we can muster to the victims of the Sep. 11 attacks.
