My heartfelt thanks to all of you for your compassion and giving me and my little boy a safe place to live. We had just arrived in town and fell on unexpected hardship leaving us in a very hopeless state. Your assistance made it possible for us to stay here in Florida and become productive in the community.
My son was 13 years old at the time, and he is now about to turn 16. He is a 2-year volunteer at All Childrens Hospital, is 1½ years in the Air Force Auxiliary, and in the summer nursing program at SPC.
I have since started a successful carpet care business and we love living in Florida thanks to ASAP.

If your organization or religious group holds regular meetings, please contact us about providing a speaker. Karen Butler, our Executive Director, will send someone from our speaker's bureau to help educate the community about ASAP Homeless Services. We are amazed by how few people are familiar with ASAP and what homelessness is truly about.
Once people know the facts, they want to get involved!
For details, call 727-823-5665.
