Thanks to one small group of volunteers, sick patients at Moore’s Cancer Center at the University of California–San Diego have been emotionally uplifted by the joy of reading donated books over 15 years.

After reading an article on how cancer patients can boost their health and morale when reading to their children, San Diego-based social worker Shirley Tulin started a nonprofit dedicated to supplying such books to adults suffering from cancer in the area.
