January 31, 2002 To whom it may concern, Both my family and I have been greatly affected by the Trade Center Disaster on 09/11. I, indeed, lost my father. At the time of his passing, I was receiving financial support that was vital to myself and to the rest of my family, including my infant son, . I turned to many private charities for their help, and must admit, that the Red Cross was that which was best able to aid us in this financial difficulty. I have been going through a lot. Although the help received was great, the bills are once again beginning to pile up, and fast. I am writing this letter asking for help. Like I said previously, I have turned to many organizations for help, and only the Red Cross and Salvation Army was able to help me whatsoever. Truth be told, I am a young parent, one who was still dependant on my father for financial help. With his passing, came many hardships for my new family. I thank you very much for your time, and am hopeful that the reader of this letter will view it as more than just another letter, but instead as a person who needs help. These trying times have caused much difficulty for many families. It has been hard for myself as well as some of the other families that I have met, to ask for help, since we never have had to before. I would like someone to respond as promptly as possible. I appreciate that which I have already received, but as aforementioned, I need Help!!!
