"So when can I put in the order for the new play structure?"
Trinh sighed. "Maybe never. We don't have the funds."
"What are you talking about?" Bruce asked. "Last board meeting you said we were on track to have everything here, ready to build a week ago. What happened?"
Trinh shook her head. "I wish I knew. About a month ago, the funds from our main donor - the anonymous one - just quit coming. No reason given. No communication whatsoever-"
"Not that there ever was much… communication I mean - not funds. He sent plenty of that" Bruce interjected.
"Exactly." Trinh agreed, nodding. "We were warned not to depend so heavily on anonymous donors, but he… or she was so faithful for nearly three years! I guess…" Her voice trailed off sadly. "I guess I just hoped it would continue forever."
"I wonder what happened. Nothing changed on our end."
"Who knows - maybe they died…"
"Or lost their fortune somehow."
Trinh stared out the window. "I suppose it's silly to be worried about someone you never met, but I am. He seemed so passionate about our cause, something had to happen to make him stop."
"Well, let's keep this in perspective." Bruce reminded her. We still have enough money to function. All the basics are still in place. The Orphans of 9-11 will still keep plugging along - we just can't keep doing as much as we have in the past."
Trinh smiled at his efforts, but continued to worry about what might have happened to a person she'd never met…

"Since the numbers have stopped, it's not right that you should go on paying me as generously as you are."
"Since you give away ninety percent of what I pay you, I don't see why I shouldn't continue."
