[QUOTEURL=http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/24/rec.sept11.fund/index.html] NEW YORK (CNN) -- Funds raised by an all-star TV tribute broadcast 10 days after the September 11 terror attacks will be distributed to those affected by the tragedy beginning Christmas Eve, the September 11th Fund announced Monday.

Some 18,000 checks -- an initial mailing totaling $60 million -- will be distributed as a result of the new $75 million Cash Assistance Program announced December 12.

...

People who were injured or families who lost loved ones will receive a payment of $10,000, and those who were displaced from their homes or jobs as a direct result of the attacks and who are in need will receive $2,500, the fund announced. Additional mailings are planned throughout January.

$10,000 for people who lost loved ones doesn't seem like enough, but it is better than $0. :beerchug:
