The Tirado Family, New York, NY
2nd Annual Washington, DC Golf Weekend Recipient
Hector Tirado, Jr. was a 30 year-old New York City fire fighter killed in the World Trade Center. He left behind five young children. Betterment paid the family’s bills for a month and sent the children their only Christmas presents. “The kids are doing very well now. They received funding from the state shortly after your donation to their family,” says relative Celena Gonzalez. “Recently, they bought a new house, complete with a music studio. I think they are in the process of getting into the music business - with the plans of their first song being about their father.”
