Dear Mr. Zwick:

On September 11, 2001 my sister, , died in Two World Trade Center. I worked a block away and witnessed first hand the terrible death she suffered. We lived together, commuted together and most importantly cared for my 93 year old, very
dependent father together. She was the best sister in every way and I was honored to
have her for the years that we had together!

I understand that there are Advocacy groups forming to help the families of victims. We
are not looking to sue any organization, government or person. However, many are left
with people to care for without the assistance, both financial and emotional, of the victims. On a personal note, my father has a very small pension and social security. Because he cannot be left alone, and I paid women to come during our hours at work and take care of my father. This is solely my responsibility now as well as our mortgage and other living expenses that and I shared. Yes, she had insurance but will it cover the long term needs of my father? I would like to think so except I know that means shorter life for Dad.

I simply ask you to do the right thing for all the victims' families, especially those with
young children! If appeals are necessary for needs to be taken care of please allow room
for appeal. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
