My husband died recently of an incurable brain tumour and as I saw many thousands of dollars floating into the sky in a glittering blaze for such a short time, I thought about the many needy, destitute and handicapped people, for whom this money could have been so beneficial. I couldn't stop my tears as I thought about how the funds spent on the fireworks display could have helped so many humanitarian causes.
