On April 30, Nook Living is donating 10% of all sales to the mission-based services of Alive just in time for Mother’s Day. Nook Living is owned by our nurse Marc Vera and his partner. Marc was inspired to become a hospice nurse by the care and support his husband received when he died of cancer in 2011.
