September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. 1/12/02 Re: Victims Compensation Fund On September 11, 2001, my fiancee, was killed during the attack on the World Trade Center. We had loving relationship and were to be married October of 2001. Our plans with my son and our fianc were destroyed. We also bough a home together two years ago which I am in jeopardy of losing now. The victims compensation Fund, which has been set up with Federal funds, was to provide compensation to all the victims families. It is not clear how the fiancees and domestic partners of New Jersey should be treated. From what I have been told, we will get nothing. We should be treated equally as family members and spouse, sine the intent was to help all of us according to the senators and congress persons with whom I have spoken. I am struggling hard to find any hope in the future for my son and I. We had a beautiful life planned and we had already established ourselves as a family. monies were 70% of our income and although my son and I were the only ones he supported his parents will receive these funds. There are a couple of hundred fiancees and domestic partners that were directly effected not only economically, but also the loss of companionship and domestic services which was supposed to be the intent of the Congressional legislation. How can this be ignored? Why must we fall between the cracks? We only have until next week to modify this situation and help everyone. Thank you for giving this letter your highest consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
