Kristin Tomasello’s Journey of Faith: The Story Behind Pray, Give, Laugh: Life Through God’s Lens


Kristin Tomasello’s journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of living with purpose. From watching her father battle Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) to becoming a caregiver and advocate, she has dedicated her life to making a difference. Whether through her philanthropic work, eco-conscious business ventures, or her writing, Tomasello continues to uplift those around her.

Her latest book, Pray, Give, Laugh: Life Through God’s Lens, is an inspiring faith-based memoir that reflects on her travels through Europe and the lessons she learned along the way. Divided into sections—Pray (Paris), Give (Milan), Laugh (Florence), and Reflect (London)—the book explores how shifting our perspective to God’s vision can transform the way we live. Tomasello challenges readers to wake up each day and ask, “Do people see Jesus in me today?”

Her passion for faith and service extends beyond writing. Tomasello founded The Grateful Hearts Center in Tampa, FL, an arts-based program for children and young adults with special needs. This center provides a safe and inclusive space where creativity meets compassion. Additionally, she hosts the Night to Remember Prom, a free prom event for individuals with special needs, bringing joy and celebration to those who often feel overlooked.

Her entrepreneurial side shines through Costa Sea Suncare, an eco-friendly sunscreen brand inspired by her parents’ cancer battles. The brand not only prioritizes skin health but also helps fund her foundation’s work.

Kristin Tomasello’s story is a powerful example of how faith can turn personal struggles into a mission of hope. Through her book, foundation, and business, she reminds us that true fulfillment comes not from perfect circumstances, but from seeing life through God’s eyes.
