The bank manager explained to me that Mark would be provided a debit card attached to the account. He could remove the money anytime after he received the debit card. I have no access to the account, so I have no idea who else contributed or how much. I also have no control to change the account. You asked - What prompted me to think they would need money? - I'll try to explain:
I first heard about Dr. Siever's murder at lunchtime on Tuesday. After crying hysterically for quite some time.... And I'm sure this sounds weird... I drove 5 minutes up the street to her office. I ran in looking for her. I wanted to see her and wake up from my horrible nightmare. I'm guessing I was met by detectives and the note on her door. I asked to see Dr. Sievers nurse. She wasn't there. I returned home and did not sleep all day or night. On Wednesday morning, driven by a need to just do something to help, I thought of a donation account. I contacted a mutual friend of mine and Dr. Sievers and was told about the account. I don't personally like because they keep a percentage. So, I went to my local bank and talked to the manager. In my mind, Dr. Sievers did not live an extravagant lifestyle, and she was the only income producer in her family. I also considered that even if she did have life insurance, it would likely be delayed with an investigation. With the pain and suffering of her family, I did not want them to have the added burden of financial worry. I hope this helps you understand more about the account.
