JW House
When Fred was in the hospital for his heart surgery, the volunteers and staff at the JW House in Santa Clara were instrumental in assisting his family so they could be close by during his recovery. They provide a place to relax, shower, sleep, eat, talk, and rejoice free of charge to families in need of support while a loved one is at the hospital. It was their welcoming environment that helped ease the stress during Fred's surgery and recovery. Any donation to the JW house will go a long way to help other families in need.
