[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The $250 I gave to the scholarship isn't the only financial contribution I made after the tragedy, which is part of the reason why it's a little galling to learn it wasn't "enough." (And I hate feeling galled by this because I know it's petty.) I had always planned to make sure they got over the $25K hump if it needed a boost close to the finish line. I guess I can up my contributions, but urrrrgh, if I hear back that they're still displeased, family holidays are definitely going to require a lot more wine to keep a smile on.[/quote] They're just hurting from the loss of their son. And now that you know what they want from you, which you probably can comfortably comply with, perhaps just give the money, accept that their loss is so overwhelming that they are a bit blinded by it, and try to move on.
