When we talk about the denotative and literal meaning of a word, we refer to the precise and literal definition of that word, without additional interpretation and without positive or negative associations of that word. These types of meaning are also known as the word's “dictionary definition.” The word “red,” for instance, has a denotation of “a color, being in the range between a moderate orange and russet or bay,” but it also may have different meanings, connotations, or interpretations (i.e. “anger,” “passion” or “violence,”) for some people.
I would say that this is right. If the person decided to send their money to a person who needed it then that alone is a wonderful thing to do. As for the fact that the sender did not include his/her name, they might not want recognition or praise for their actions. Many people decide to donate anonymously because they want to help the cause without getting involved personally.
