According to a report, an attorney in Indiana is facing the challenge of deciphering the intentions of a man who left behind $13 million for charity upon his death. The generous individual left behind a complex puzzle, making it difficult for the attorney to determine which organizations were meant to receive the money.
According to CBS News, Terry Kahn, who passed away in 2021, left behind a significant sum of money intended for charitable purposes. However, he did not specify the organization to which it should be donated.
Dwayne Isaacs, the attorney representing Kahn, has been dividing the funds among various charitable organizations. The leaders of these organizations have expressed their astonishment upon learning about this unexpected windfall. Isaacs has been personally reaching out to different charities to determine their interest in receiving the funds.
According to Isaacs, there is no doubt that he is smiling somewhere and he would definitely get a kick out of this. Teachers’ Treasures, a charity based in Indianapolis that serves educators, was granted a generous sum of $1.5 million from the fund. Executive Director Margaret Sheehan was overwhelmed by the incredible act of kindness, causing her to express her need to sit down in response.
Another fortunate organization to receive support was Helping Veterans and Families of Indiana.Emmy Hildebrand, the CEO of the organization, was taken aback when Isaacs reached out to her with an unexpected inquiry.
Isaacs asked Hildebrand, “What would you do with $1 million?”
Coburn Place, a charity dedicated to supporting domestic violence survivors, was one of the organizations that received funding from Kahn’s pot.
“We found ourselves floating above our own bodies, questioning the reality of the situation,” shared Julie Henson, the vice president of development for Coburn Place, during her conversation with CBS News.
Before his passing, Kahn dedicated three decades of his life to serving the Veterans Administration. With no immediate family to inherit his wealth, he left behind a significant sum of money. According to Isaacs, he described him as “extremely frugal,” refusing to own a cellphone due to concerns about the cost.
