No one who knew Alan Naiman knew he had raised such a large amount of money. The savings worker bought clothes in cheap shops and enjoyed a modest vacation. However, when he donated $11 million to charity, his friends said they were not surprised by his generosity.
Naiman died in January this year at 63. He was suffering from cancer.
I think everyone was shocked because they didn't believe he had so much before”, says his friend Mary Monahan, who had worked with Naiman in the children's public service. Shortly after being diagnosed with cancer, he had told his friend that he would donate all his wealth to charity.
He had given up his career in the bank to work with children 30 years earlier. Mrs. Monahan believes that his experience in working with children, many of whom had special needs, has influenced him to put others ahead of him. I believe he was convinced he had everything he needed, while many other people did not have”, says Monaco.
Benefiting his wealth became six local organisations dealing with children's rights. One of the organisation's officials said Naiman had given money to them earlier. A few months ago, he had donated five thousand dollars to the organisation “Treehouse”, writes “BBC”,
