I have always been bad with money. I've never understood how to save my money when I am working. The Full Circle helped me learn how to save money. This is new for me. I am so happy because now I can buy more and sell more. This new skill is so important and helpful for me. Thank you everyone for your nice teaching. This has changed my life.

I've been a PURE Youth student volunteer since 2018, and I can not only attest to its monumental impact on increasing accessibility to education, but also to its role in shaping the next generation of leaders and volunteers. PURE's global reach is due in part to the 100s of student volunteers spread across the globe that collaborate every week to address urgent challenges threatening the world. These efforts have an immense impact on the less fortunate, leveling the playing field through the power of education. Ultimately, this work instills a service-minded resolve in the minds of the many student volunteers in PURE Youth.

I had an amazing experience adopting my cat from Friends of Strays. The staff was so helpful in answering all my questions and provided me with many resources to ensure that his transition was as smooth as possible. You can tell that they care about the animals so so much and truly want nothing but the best for them. My cat is snuggled on my lap as I write this and I couldn’t be happier. Endlessly grateful to Friends of Strays for bringing me my new best friend!

Wow! It was so nice to read all those many negative comments about this company I'm not the only one really that hates them with a passion because they're the most horrible place in the world. Thank you all for sharing the same comments like this maybe will it ever hit home to these people how horrible they are and stop being so damn horrible. I swear all they are is a bunch of greedy you know what I'm trying to be nice and not use my regular wording I don't know why cuz I sure as hell don't whenever I call them and they get stupid with me on the phone.

Kneady Kitty is a fantastic rescue who donates their time and energy for saving lives. I've recently been looking for a Kitten to adopt . I have spoken with one of the leaders and she is working with us for a good fit. My 18yr old adopted cat passed in December and we are just now looking for a sweet little. I highly recommend this rescue and if you can donate or volunteer to help them out. <br>Lori

My journey with DBS began in 2018. My family and I started attending this meeting because I was very ill. Mentally and emotionally I was lost in a very deep and dark depression. These meetings saved my life. They also helped my family understand my illness by hearing other's experiences and struggles they were dealing with. We knew we were no longer alone in the battle to find my way out of my depression.<br>Once I became well enough, I was able to get certified as a group facilitator. I volunteered at the Clearwater group for the next 6 years. I only left because I moved out of the state.<br>I do and will always recommend these groups to anyone struggling with their mental health and their families. <br>I would give more stars if there was an option to do so.<br>Thank you DBS for everything!

I was given a cross from Elizabeth and I hung it in my office. When ever I was having a bad day I would look at that cross and remember what Jesus did for me by giving his life and paying my debt for the sins I had done and he gave me the free gift of salvation, all I had to do was ask him for it the best way I knew how. I cherish that cross to this day.

But there wasn't a day that didn't go by, that I wasn't thinking, I look forward to getting back in the swing of helping our brothers and sisters in need in our area and to spend time with our SVdP team and spending time with our folks in need, I really miss it!<br>We have a good group of people on our team. I miss them!<br><br>

Paula has helped me with two different possums in distress. Both had head injuries and were circling in the street. Polly, the 1st one she helped with, lived 6 happy months under Paula's care. She would have died without her! The second possum was in worse shape but. Paula still took her in and cared for her until she passed a few weeks later. I'm thankful everyday for people like Paula! Wild animals do not deserve to suffer terrible deaths alone. I always say "if you see something in distress HELP IT". Paula makes it possible to help these animals in need! She does amazing work!❤️

I currently live in the Lutheran Apartments in downtown Saint Petersburg, FL. I have been here since September of 2023. Many residents have been here for years. I came here to live as rents in the area were getting unaffordable. I am grateful to be here, but I want others to be aware that these apartments are a risk to your health and wellness. I am not certain it is the owner's issue, I believe it to be a property management issue. Currently, the property manager is Winn Companies. Their reputation is iffy.<br><br>The most pressing issues are listed below:<br>Heating and Cooling<br>Laundry Facilities (machines working and black mold)<br>Elevator Issues and inspections (elevators down every week and inspections out of date)<br>Fire Extinguishers are out of date<br>No clear fire drill instructions and procedure<br>No clear evacuation instructions or procedures<br>No list of residents that can not get out of the building without help<br>No 24/7 maintenance or emergency staff<br>Not enough maintenance and cleaning staff<br>Cable TV service was cut. No service to replace it. Makes situation very difficult for seniors that are not tech savvy<br>Drink water needs a filter. There is so much chlorine, the water is not drinkable out of the facet or drinking fountain.<br>No carts to help senior residents to load or unload groceries, laundry, etc.<br>Wellness checks - resident recently died and was not discovered for 3 days even though the resident worked at front desk for the property manager.<br>Reluctance to allow residents small things that will enhance their quality of life (small gardening spot, give and take closet)<br><br>There are other items, but this is a start.<br><br><br><br>

Safe Paws Rescue Inc is an outstanding organization. It helps the people who find themselves in difficult situations. They have helped pay veterinary bills, provide food, provide temporary shelter and when all else fails, take in animals. It is a multifaceted solution animal rescue. I have been so impressed with this organization, I have become a monthly donor. When I had an unexpected veterinary bill, they helped me. Now I am giving back. Safe Paws Rescue is a small foster based organization doing great things for the community.

A year ago hurricane IAN struck the west coast of Florida causing millions of dollars in damage. I live in Charlotte County the destruction was devastating to buildings, trees, and emotionally to our people. IDES arrived to team up with New Day Christian Church in Port Charlotte to begin helping the people to heal and have hope of restoring their lives and homes. It was amazing how IDEs organized groups of volunteers from all over to help with this overwhelming task. Roofs got tarps to prevent further damage, trees removed, interiors of homes repaired. All free of charge for the home owners because of donations from many people and groups believing in IDES mission to be servants of Christ. A really wonderful organization. God bless them for the work they do.

I have had the opportunity to work with Shirley Proctor Puller Foundation for the past year. The growth and progress that they are making with students is great. They are a light on the community.

The Art is amazing! The atmosphere is joyful! Most of all, you can tell the artists love it!

Wanted more information about a dog that the Florida poodle rescue has, send them an email. Waited a week. No response. Commented on a post on their Facebook. Instead of reaching out to me. They just blocked me from their facebook account and still have not replied to the email.<br>

Attending First Unity Spiritual Campus (Church), has awakened my consciousness to experience a full Spiritual life, vs a religious life. ALL are welcomed & invited to experience a new way of thinking, with unlimited possibilities to transform the mind & heart, and to become a more evolved member of humanity.

I am a former employee from within the shelter. I believe it is important those who are going to a place such as this are treated well, with dignity and respect. Honestly the only good thing about this place was the lower level staff, at least when i was there was very kind supportive and helpful. the humans seeking help at the shelter were incredible, in fact i have never been so inspired by such resilient humans-but that is where the problem begins. the 'participants' honestly arent participating in anything other than a cycle of perpetual trauma due to the shelter's poor location, i was followed and sexually harassed right up to the front gate of the shelter. i also knew many women whom would get harassed each time they would exit and enter the shelter. theyre told they will get assistance getting around but they never do most of the time they have to walk on foot or navigate the bus system. most of em dont have phones. everyone is treated like a sub par human but especially the poorer and the darker and the trans. Especially the trans. theres negligence and down right emotional abuse within the shelter. i could go on and on and on but im hoping im getting my point across. these people deserve better. the management also cares not for the staff and they will burn an employee out and drive them to burnout/relapse/suicide without so much of a bat of the eye so long as they get paid and can take vacations whenever they want. the worst part? the CEO, idk she never bothered to ask my name, or speak with any of the untouchables, when she visited the shelter. my advice to her would be to quit your job. do some soul searching. become a more benevolent human thats dedicated to serving the people because that is the only type of person that should be heading a domestic violence shelter. not someone out to further their own career path as a politican.

Jaime is an angel on earth with these fur babies. She rescues the abused, the neglected, the elderly and the death row dogs that people throw away because they don't want to care for them anymore or cant afford their care. She is a 1 person army and has given her life to care for these babies. Its a joy to watch the transformation of these broken-hearted souls when they arrive to the PPPR ranch. I follow all of her wonderful stories and donate to her cause as funds allow me to. Keep up the great work Jaime! You are so inspiring!

Our family participates in a nonprofit that provides programs to the Down syndrome community. We learned about the community service of this very generous group when they contacted GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa to leant more about our work. We are so thankful for all they have done for the those with Down syndrome. They are true advocates. Their network of members are very caring and professional and they are dedicated to supporting those who are making a great impact in the Tampa Bay Area.

Compassion Kind is such a wonderful foundation that is fully dedicated to making the world a better place for all beings!! They are hard-working, so passionate, and overall just an awesome organization! I adopted a cat from them and the experience was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this org!

An educational nonprofit that creates, produces, and delivers spherical hands-on, in-the-field learning experiences with real-world applications of technologies, in service of a mission to aid in the construction of Access where access is lacking. <br> <br>https://youtu.be/02ayMtPI2d0 <br>

I continue to have many positive experiences with this organization and have heard from many other members of the community talk about their positive experiences as well! My daughter's class went to their farm for a school field trip and learned so much! They all learned about farming, gardening, sustainable living, honey bees, local agriculture, and had fun while learning. It was a super educational and fun field trip- every child and adult was engaged! I have heard from friends that their therapeutic programs are successful and also educational. Once again, such a great organization!
