Gavin’s Treasures in Center Moriches is more than a gift shop - it’s a mother’s tribute to her son.

Tova Keblish turned her grief into purpose after losing her son Gavin six years ago to a pill unknowingly laced with fentanyl.

Keblish supports others who shine bright like her son once did and fills her shop with warmth, creativity and community - from handmade "treasures" to local artwork and creations made by hand.

She says Gavin’s Treasures keeps his spirit alive, and she hopes to one day share her story with students, helping them understand the real dangers of fentanyl and how quickly it can change a life.
