Thank you for your very touching testimony, Mr. Cowan. I would also like to extend my sincere sympathies to you.
I was also troubled by your testimony because I believe your trust was abused. It makes me very sad. People like you are really very important to society. You have put a lot of energy into your son's memory, and probably spent a lot of money on it too. It has no doubt helped other children. I hope, for your sake, that all the funds you managed to raise and the money you have yourself provided will bring hope and a better life to other children, something you were unfortunately unable to give your son.
Do you have any advice for us or for future donors? We need people like you for this kind of work and this kind of donation. Unfortunately, when people are exploited as you have been, thousands who would like to donate to worthy causes lose confidence. They fear that the money will not go where it should go.
We might need your advice, at least to give hope to those who still want to make such donations.
