A book can be a powerful gift, transporting the reader from reality into a new world. Places like Dr. Seuss’s Whoville, J.K. Rowling’s Hogwarts, and A.A. Milne’s Hundred Acre Wood, where Christopher Robin shared adventures with Winnie the Pooh, remind us that anything is possible and that life is better with a bit of magic.

On August 28, 2025, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center’s state-of-the-art, 53-bed Level IIIb Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) received a surprise donation. The Jena-Marie Literacy Project, a nonprofit founded in memory of Jena-Marie Ortiz, donated nearly 150 books in her honor. Jena-Marie, a 23-year-old from La Verne, passed away in a car accident in February 2025.
