Well, here's an easy way: contact High Risk Hope (check out www.highriskhope.org) to provide a donation of much-needed money, required merchandise or your time. This is a non-profit group that provides gift bags of handmade blankets, headwarmers and other goodies to premature infants and their Mothers. My wife crocheted some baby blankets and we delivered them to the office for their distribution, and the appreciation from the staff was absolutely heartwarming. The operation is extremely organized, and simply provides these gift bags to give the needed warmth, care and smiles to the little ones and their Moms. That's it! No preference or care about anything other than smiles, regardless of the background, rich or poor, or circumstances of the recipients. Just love all the way. Beautiful!

High Risk Hope helps to prolong high risk pregnancies and improve outcomes for premature infants through High Risk OB and NICU support at the hospital. HRH is the only local or national for purpose organization providing support and encouragement to women on long-term hospital bed rest and premature infants in the NICU. Each day a woman on hospital bed rest is able to remain pregnant is a miracle and decreases her baby's NICU stay by an estimated three days. Longer pregnancies always lead to healthier babies. 100% of High Risk Hope babies are born healthier and their families' hospital stays are more manageable because of our services.

MOW of Tampa is 100% community funded, accepting no government money. $5.50 is the cost of the meal, however, 80% of the recipients pay less or nothing at all.

Magic is dedicated to the birds in his care and loves all of them…read more It is very sad when people buy birds thinking that this pretty bird will look good in their living room but after a very short time find out that this bird needs lots of attention, is loud, destructive, and messy. So after this short time this person looks for some place to place their bird but does not believe they should support it. Hence they bring their bird to a sanctuary thinking that it is up to them to take care and feed it. Non for profit sanctuaries depend on volunteers and donations to help feed, water and give attention to these birds. If there are no donations or volunteers it is left up to the person owning the sanctuary to feed and house along with giving them their needed attention. Some of the birds (a small amount) are given up because the person can no longer take care of them because of health reasons. These birds can live anywhere from 30 years to over 100 years which is more than some of our lifetime. Magic spends 24-7 taking care of these birds and only asks that if anyone can afford to give to help take care of these birds along with dedicated volunteer work for a few hours per week it would be greatly appreciated. I can't say enough about Magic's dedication and love for these birds and their genuine love for him. I have had to place 3 of my birds with him because of my health and I feel they are getting the best of his care.

Located in the "beer can" building, otherwise known as Rivergate Tower, in downtown Tampa just off Curtis Hixon Park, the WaVe site is home to a startup accelerator program as well as a large coworking space, private offices, and event meeting space. I've been to the WaVe offices for work and to visit for a event, and it's always a great experience. Just walking in the modern lobby past Kahwa coffee is pleasant. Deborah, the Director of Operations, goes above and beyond to make sure that coworkers and entrepreneurs working in the space get the most out of their experience, as I'm sure the whole staff does. I'm a big fan of the coworking movement in general, and the space at WaVeis large, with high ceilings and lots of windows, along with long wooden tables where you can set up shop next to a coworker or at a separate table if you want to work more removed. Coworking rates can be found on the website. For events, there is a large area where chairs can be arranged for a presentation and high-top bar tables for mingling. To unwind, they "just" feature a foosball table and video game section, NBD. If you work from home in the tech field, need a quiet place to collaborate, or just want to check the space out one night for a special meetup or tech event, I recommend it. If you have the next great tech venture under your wing, then I *definitely* recommend it.

Their advisory, underwriting, deal analysis, and due diligence services are unmatched. They can analyze deals from booming metro markets to small rural America.

They have had to write off a lot of fees on deals that never happened, but where they invested a lot of time and resources, and they ate those costs. That's unheard of in today's world. I definitely recommend their services!
