Someone donated a generous amount to a DAV in my name

[splitthis]

I had a patient a couple years ago and became close to him and his son. I left that job but was still in contact with both. Dad passed away a little over a year ago and 2 weeks ago I get a letter from the son who lives in another state now thanking me for the generous donation in his dads name to the DAV. I just thought he had me confused with someone else until yesterday receiving an official letter from the DAV thanking me for my generous donation and how it would be used.
I was pondering if I should write a letter back to the son telling him it was not my actual donation but someone donating in my name. My coworkers say I should not do this. I have to say I am both curious about who did this and what was the amount.
The only person I can think who would do this is the sister who literally did shit for her dads care and after he died she got a windfall of his estate. She became guilty about not doing more for her dad while he was alive and donated to the veterans in my name continuing to be anonymous. I did go to the dads wake and met alot of people as well so it could be a rich random.
Say what u say about me but in my job there is no better.

I get the same letters for sending in $10 periodically. Then they send free address labels and customized stationary and envelopes 2-3x per year

Don’t flatter yourself

Yeah, sure you do...

I like veterans who didn't get disabled.

Of course you should tell the son you are not responsible. Its a brazen lie if you don't especially if you have any kind of friendship with the son. Do not see why the sister would do this i your name but people do strange things.

However if you got a receipt, would look at taking the tax deduction.

How do you know if it was a generous amount or not. Maybe the person is loaded and it was peanuts to them.

I'd be more concerned with whether I got the tax write off.
