victim and victim family compensation
We believe that a common sense approach with some guidelines on amounts and
needs would be the best. People all over the country cope all of the time
with the loss of the breadwinner in their families and with insufficient
life insurance. If families planned well, and they have life insurance
coming if they have lost a loved one their need may be less than those who
didn't plan ahead. Does that mean they don't deserve to receive some of
the money that other Americans have given through the goodness of their
hearts? Of course not, and I don't think any of us who have donated
believe that. But the money wasn't meant to make anyone wealthy.
The money can never compensate for the loss of a loved one. If someone was
injured they may need more money than the families who lost a loved
one. Children should not have to worry about paying for their education
when they've lost a parent in this tragedy. Older people who were being
helped financially by a child should not have to do without. Thanks for
your attention.
