Chapter 22 - The charity survives

I considered shutting it down.

I hated seeing Anna’s name attached to scandal.

Then families receiving grants wrote to me.

One mother said:

“Your fund paid for child care during my radiation treatments.”

Another family had received hotel assistance while their son’s mother underwent surgery three hours from home.

The charity was real.

The misconduct was real too.

Destroying one because of the other would punish the wrong people.

We kept it.

Renamed some programs.

Published audited financial statements.

Reduced fundraising events.

Spent more directly on grants.

Anna’s name survived people who had misused it.
