January 19, 2002 Kenneth Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs U.S. Department of Justice Main Bldg 4 Room 3140 Washington, DC Dear Mr. Zwick, I am writing to you in hopes that this horrible situation I am in as a result of September 11 may in some way be rectified. On September 11, my fiance' &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , kissed me goodbye, went to work (at &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , where he was a partner) and never returned. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and I were together for five years and lived together for 4 1/2. We were to be married September 28, 2001. We were looking forward to starting our married lives together and starting a family of our own. At &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp request, I had given up my job 4 years ago. During which time I was completely financially dependent upon him. Not only have I been robbed of my life partner, but of any future financial security as well. As I understand there is only on application per victim which presents a problem for fiancees/domestic partners. I am requesting that you take into consideration my situation as I was financially dependent on him and left with $6,000 bills per month. It is bad enough that I lost my life time partner much less to worry my financial security and where my life goes from here. In all fairness if the fiancees/domestic partner are going to be denied the opportunity to apply for the Victims Compensation Fund on our own, it should be determined how the settlement should be divided when there is a fiancee/domestic partner involved. It is very difficult to discuss these financial matters with the family and it might be helpful if there are distribution regulations set to protect people in these situations. Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Individual Comment Englewood, NJ September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-19 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
