From Our Family to Yours:
Board Member Jerry Falk Funds Compassion Home


Moved by the story of Phan Thi Ha, a Vietnamese woman struggling to keep her three sons in school despite difficult circumstances, EMW Board Member Jerry Falk and his family are providing concrete, lasting help in the form of an EMW Compassion Home.

As Bay Area attorney Jerry describes it, it's simply one family helping another: "This is going to be a gift from my family—my daughters Katherine and Susie, granddaughters Pippa and Mimi, and my wife Nancy and me.  We are thrilled to be in a position to help a deserving Vietnamese family in this way.  We're looking forward to seeing pictures of our new Vietnamese friends in their new house.
