Tuesday, March 19, 2002 12:04 PM September 11th fund Hello, My name is . I was lucky and didn't lose anyone on September 11th. Nor did my husband who is from New York whose father is a retired firefighter from the Yonkers fire department. However, I hear that your organization, in sending out compensation for victims who did lose someone are doing two things which I find rather disturbing. One, you aren't compensating the families of victims equally. You are in fact divying up finances by how much the person made. People who had a higher income and didn't plan for their families will get more than those who did or those who made less for that matter. As someone who donated money to the cause, I would hope my money would go to all in need equally. Second, I've read that while you are covering those families who may be illegal immigrants and the unborn, which I greatly admire, you are overlooking domestic partners in the compensation package. I would hope you would review this policy as well. If I had left someone behind and hadn't been married whether by choice or by law, I do hope that this would not preclude my partner being given the same benefits as those who were married. Please reconsider how you distribute funds so that all are equally represented. Thank you for your attention.
