Scholarships in the name of retired NYPD Detective Luis Alvarez are helping the children of those who are sick or who have died from World Trade Center-related illnesses, reports Matthew Chayes for NY Newsday. He talks with Jack Santoro, Tommy and Ryan Wilson, beneficiaries of Alvarez scholarships.
Luis Alvarez died of World Trade Center-related cancer in June of 2019, shortly after testifying before Congress to fund the Victim Compensation Fund and his heartbreaking testimony is largely responsible for the refunding.
