victim's fund
Dear Mr. Swick,
I am a injured victim of the world trade center attach of September 11, 2001.
I am very lucky and happy to be alive.
I received some burn marks on my face, a concussion on my head, a fractured rib, tear in my rotator cuff on my left shoulder and some torn ligaments on my left leg. Besides all of my injurys and mental state I still managed to work until 1:30am that day.
I was not able to seek medical help within 24hours fearing I would take away from all the people who were suffering 100X more than me. Also, I believe I was in shock due to what took place and what I have seen. I think the rule to receive an award from the Victims Fund for a injured person like myself should be changed to something more than within 24hours if possible.
I would also like to tell you whomever is complaining about receiving an extra 3million dollars or whatever it may be should be happy they are alive money could always be made kids or no kids........
And the injured people whether they are working or not are not entitled to any red cross fund or any other fund but the victim compensation fund. People who are complaining should thank god they are alive and appreciate all the money they are receiving after all the injured have to live with this for the rest of there life physically and mentally.
I am sorry for all those who died and sometimes I dont understand why I did not.
If I do receive anything from this fund I want to thank you regardless for thinking of everyone.
This is what makes tourist come to NY and the economy go up is when they here how caring New Yorkers are not how greedy we are.
With all my support
