NYT – At a fairly young age, Jessica Fashano had dedicated much of her life to helping others, heightening her commitment to charitable work as she rose in the banking world.
She spearheaded fund-raisers for the Acumen Fund, which makes small-business loans to people in developing countries. And just in the past month, friends said, she helped coordinate a fund-raiser at a West Village boutique for Harboring Hearts Housing, a charity that provides lodging at modest prices for cardiac patients.
