My Parents Chose a Birthday Dinner Over My Family’s Funeral—Then They Asked for Thirty Percent of the $18.7 Million Settlement
The thirty-four-thousand-dollar starting package.
Now eighty-four thousand to preserve the latest version of the plans.
None of those figures was the cost of feeding a child, getting a person to a doctor, or providing a place to sleep that night.
They were commitments my family wanted someone else to honor.
“I am not paying it.”
“You’re sitting on millions.”
“The foundation holds its endowment for its purposes.
I am not sitting on it.”
