A free book in a tough moment brings comfort, imagination, and hope—made possible by the Mar5 Gratitude Foundation.

The Mar5 Gratitude Foundation’s generosity has truly made a difference in the lives of children and families in Staten Island. Through their support, Grandma’s Love, Inc. was able to restock book vending machines at Cohen Children’s Northwell Health and at the Florina Cancer Center Pediatrics Unit, giving kids the joy of choosing a free book during what can often be stressful visits. It’s more than just a book—it’s comfort, imagination, and hope delivered right when it’s needed most.

Because of their commitment, countless children will leave the hospital not only with care but also with a story that inspires them. Grandma’s Love, Inc. is deeply grateful for their partnership in spreading literacy, love, and light in our community.

With gratitude,

Theresa Monforte-Caraballo
