Wonderful! Everything was organized into doable projects! What a great event to be a part of!

I have enjoyed the past year with the Epilepsy Services Foundation. I believe that what they do strongly benefits many people, families and the community around them. They offer resources, opportunities and help to many different people and being a part of this team feels like a second family. I am very thankful for the opportunity to help and look forward to many more years to come!

Absolutely life changing experience with OHF! I served over 30 years in the Army, 25 of that in SOF, OHF was the first organization I’ve come across that had such a positive impact I such a short amount of time. Truly great organization

My name is Dr. Kathy Rudolph. I am the Reading Advocate for Cornerstone.Jefferson.Douglas Academy. We are so grateful that we met Mrs. Jennifer Frances. We enjoyed hearing her stories about her travels and taking books across the country to our wonderful students. We also enjoyed meeting Miss michigan, Miss Palmer today. The children loved hearing Miss Palmer read. We all enjoyed the variety of books that Mrs. Frances provided. The children were so overjoyed about the ice cream. Thank you for an amazing experience 🤭

Date of Incident: Today at approximately 2:15 p.m. Today at approxi. 2:15 p.m., a caller from the Humane Society 3809 N Armenia Ave. Tampa, FL. contacted me to confirm appoint. sche. February 19 at 7:00 a.m. During this interaction, I expressed my financial hardship and concerns regarding my service dog, Maximus, who is in serious and declining medical condition. After explaining my situation, I was told, “This is not a free clinic.” While I understand that veterinary services involve costs, the manner in which this was communicated felt dismissive and lacking empathy during an extremely vulnerable moment. I am currently experiencing significant financial hardship. Rep said to me:THIS IS NOT A FREE CLINIC. I felt disrespected. Hoping for guidance, compassion, or possible assistance options for my service dog, who is a beloved member of my family. Where is the compassion? I WILL NOT BE EVER GOING THERE.

Dear Black Dagger Military Hunt Club, I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the incredible experiences with my family and your organization. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the unforgettable experiences you’ve provided our family through your hunts. As a combat veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, my husband has often found peace and healing in the camaraderie that the Black Dagger Military Hunt Club fosters (especially with Steve and Dave). Being part of this community has meant so much to him, and seeing him share that experience with our son during their hunts this year was truly special. Our son has been so fortunate to participate in both the spring Osceola turkey hunt and the fall deer hunt. He successfully harvested a turkey and a deer. He could not have been more excited! Thank you for all you do for veterans!

My beloved cat, Mister fell from our balcony and needed orthopedic surgery to restore function to his front paw. Frankie's Friends helped us to make that surgery happen! Jennifer was very helpful and prompt. I appreciate them so much!

It has been such a blessing to serve with the WeSeeU family. This organization has a tremendous impact on our local community.

I’ve been volunteering with Equality Florida for more than ten years, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. This organization truly makes a difference—both in local communities and across the state. What I love most is how Equality Florida brings people together. They unite individuals, organizations, and allies to stand up for the LGBTQ+ community and push for real, lasting change. I’ve seen how powerful that can be, especially at their Pride at the Capitol events. Every year, hundreds of volunteers come together to meet with lawmakers and share stories—it’s inspiring to see the impact we can have when our voices are heard. Equality Florida isn’t just about advocacy; it’s about building community, creating understanding, and making Florida a more inclusive place for everyone. I’m so proud to be a part of this work and look forward to keep volunteering for years to come!

When I tell you that this organization is amazing, THIS ORGINIZATION IS AMAZING! Wheels of success has been a true blessing to my family. Not only did it give me an opportunity to receive a car, but it also gave me and my family stability! This opportunity gave me a way to work, to be there on time. Also, allowing my babies to participate in after school activates, sports and things that I could not allow them to do before because we were using ride shares and public transportation. I can't thank them enough for making this possible. The experience was a 10/10. I would recommend all persons who qualify to apply!! Again, This is an amazing thing!!!!!!

So, I didn't know what to expect but this was the best decision we made to have our daughter try a class after school. I was thinking it might be too easy because my daughter has been dancing since she was 2. Boy was I wrong! This is not a YMCA after-school program or a dance class at your local rec center!! (not to knock those places because they are great, but Miss Laren's classes were HARD). We are super happy and hope that this wasn't just a good first day, but I think it's probably the regular for how Miss Laren operates. She is really structured and to the point, not a lot of fluff which is nice and she's sincere and super smart (she told me she's getting another degree and IDK where she gets the energy). Also, everything was super easy including signing up and purchasing everything we needed. It's also really affordable. I hope they grow because this is the structure and classes I want for our daughter.

Wonderful organization - keeps the focus on the end recipient - our military, veterans, and their families. So grateful to the Robert Irvine Foundation for what they do - from programming to grants. If you are looking for a veteran organization to support, this is the one!

It shall be called Volatile Manor for Veterans. Not a very nice place for veterans. The landlord creates a toxic environment for the elderly disabled tenants and veterans. She’s all about the money$.

I've been volunteering with Current Initiatives and hosting Laundry Projects for 8 years now, and it has been such a rewarding and impactful experience. I have seen the direct impact this project has on the community, and it never ceases to amaze me how something as simple as clean laundry can bring hope and dignity to families in need.<br><br>Through these events, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many incredible people, hearing their stories, and witnessing firsthand how acts of kindness can make a lasting difference. Current Initiatives has created a space where volunteers and community members can come together to uplift one another, and I’m grateful to be a part of it. The organization is truly dedicated to making a tangible difference, and I look forward to continuing to volunteer with them for years to come.

I have been a dedicated supporter of Zaksee Wild Bird Sanctuary in Florida for almost 10 years.<br>To see the parrots thriving and being cared for in an environment that is healthy and natural for them is<br>heartwarming. It is extremely challenging in so many ways to run a sanctuary like this successfully for<br>such a long time. I live in the New York area and see many parrot rescues struggling to do right by<br>these unfortunate, misunderstood beings in a climate that is not ideal for them. At Zaksee the birds have<br>huge aviaries where they can fly freely and socialize with their companions as they would in the wild. Please<br>donate what you can. It is expensive to maintain a refugee like Magid has managed to over many<br>challenging years.

Children With A Vision Inc. (CWV), is a beautiful organization that provides community services to children, the elderly, and their families. CWV offers hope and support to those in need, through their annual Scholarships, Back to School Backpack Giveaway, Trunk & Treat Halloween Event, Pre-Thanksgiving Blessing, and Grandmother Gala. In addition to providing supplies and free services from community partnerships, they provide free meals at each of the events. I am honored to work with CWV as a volunteer. As a volunteer for about five years, I have been able to see the good deeds this organization has provided to our community.

FCDI supports multiple youth robotics teams for students who may lack opportunities to learn and compete in these programs elsewhere. My child has benefitted immensely from the experience of becoming a team member due to the generosity of time and resources by Terri Willingham and her team at FCDI. My child has developed not only skills in robotics, but social skills, leadership skills, as well as mentorship and direction toward career goals in engineering. The FCDI programs model and place a high value on shared respect and responsibility among participants and mentors. We have been extremely fortunate to find and become involved with this organization. It has been life-changing for my child.

I loved the mission so much, I volunteered to sit on the Board of Directors!

I had a great experience plus so much fun kayak fishing with Reel Adventures. Catching any fish was extra, I caught I believe 3 or 4 which made my time in he water more exciting. Thank you very much Syrus for inviting and also for the volunteers who provided kayaks plus equipment that made this event happen. Last but not least also thanks for the delicious bbq. Sorry for completing this review this late.

She lide,really needed help ,told me they would,met all criteria and still didn't pay the part of rent she said they would. My faith is gone

What a fantastic organization. They consist of all volunteers. All the volunteers were so sweet including the older man. They really care where there dogs get adopted. I love that. They rescue dogs from county shelters and go to great length to get them cared for. The dog I adopted they saved from euthanasia and they spent thousands. But this rescue is one of the legit dog rescues. I adopted twice from them. I love my two babies that they saved! I highly recommend Guardian Angel Dog Rescue.

Volunteered for them and quit due to Kerry Chen’s consistent rudeness and complete lack of organization. It also became quite obvious that they are in it for the money and not the dogs. Go to the animal shelter or just about any other rescue. They’re awful.
