Donations in 2019
The Michael Magro Foundation helped 753 families in 2019 - that is 181 more families than 2018!

Thank you to all our donors, we appreciate everything you do for the foundation. We would not be able to do what we do, if it wasn't for all our generous supporters throughout the year.
UPDATE:
Operation Playcation
We are so pleased to see the 27 PlayStation 4 Systems up and running at Stony Brook Children's Hospital!

The Michael Magro Foundation teamed up with The Spencer Foundation to make this initiative possible for the children.

There will be 30 PlayStation 4 Systems installed this year on the pediatrics floor at NYU Winthrop Hospital. Currently four are in place. The plan is for ten more to be connected in the first quarter of 2020.
UPDATE:
Adopt a Family
We are so glad we can help make a difference and put smiles on the family and children's faces during the holiday season. Below is an email received after Christmas from a family we were able to help this year.

"Happy New Year! I just wanted you all to know how much your thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity, and love meant to us this holiday season! If it wasn't for you all and your foundation and the help that you gave us this holiday, it would have been a very different Christmas for my kids this year. We were so astonished by HOW MUCH you did for us with that check -- we are so thankful that you helped us out. I have never seen my children so happy.
What you do for families is awe-inspiring! We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. We wish we could give each one of you a huge hug as a thank you, there are no words that can express how so appreciative we are of your assistance this year. May your new year be filled with love, hope, and generosity so you can continue to help families like us. You helped make Christmas magical still for our kids even though we are going through cancer."
East Meadow Kiwanis Donated $133
On January 21st, Terrie was invited to speak about the mission and work of the Michael Magro Foundation to the East Meadow Kiwanis. She spoke to the mission, shared some stories and focused on where the funding we raise goes and how many families have been helped since our humble beginnings in 2004.

The chapter President, Alan was fascinated with our work as well as the group and embraced the #33 as an important part of our logo. At the conclusion of the presentation, Alan presented me with a check for $133.00!
Thank you, Julie Waterson, for making the introduction to Michael Simms who coordinated my visit. Thank you to all that attended and for your donation.
UPDATE:
Saylor - Florida Patient
Last year, we shared Saylor's story with you about her battle with cancer.

Earlier this month, we received an update about Saylor's health and we are happy to hear that she is doing great!

Today, January 30th is her last chemo treatment! The family still has a long road ahead of them with check-ups and labs, but they are so thankful that Saylor has made it to the end of her treatment.

Congratulations, Saylor!
