Health problems of those who helped with cleanup 9/11?

Question

I saw a documentary on the health issues people are facing after helping with cleanup at ground zero?
Does anyone know have first hand knowledge of what happened to the tons of $$ raised by the celbrity telethons? Did it all go to families rather than some helping these people who can hardly walk up a flight of stairs much less work anymore?

Answer 1

Yep it went mainly to the families. At the time when all the big fundraisers were happening no one knew that there would be so many future health problems in the rescuers.
