I agree with you, Portia_O'Neill, to some extent. Still, having just read New York Times article about Haiti, which I visited back in 1986, the poverty and lack of workable infrastructure might have made a black hole or a sinkhole of the good woman's fortune. Of the two other countries, I too suggest Ireland as the better venue for donation. I give to the NYPL and selected charitable causes, and it is usually a difficult choice to know which cause will really benefit most (from what seems to me to be my piddly monies).

Rather than give her fortune to New York institutions with large endowments she could have found more worthy causes. She might have given her money to the poor in Haiti, India, or Ireland.
