Let's be thankful that this is one bad circumstance out of hundreds of people who received donations for the 9/11 tragedy.
When my husband passed away he had no life insurance or a will. He was 27, and it was things we were gonna look after when money wasn't so tight. Friends, family & co-workers donated money & I received probably about $1200 from people. I was thankful, though embarrased somewhat. I sent thank you cards to everyone.
I used it to make payments on the home & car until the mortgage & loan insurance came through (thank goodness for that!).
I still feel bad about spending that money. I make it a point to make a donation whenever I can, although small, I know its helping someone somewhere, like how people helped me when I was down.
