My cat was having a hard time wasn’t even my cat but I got attacked and it needed to be fixed and they got me in the next day and carefully went over everything with me and I was blown away by the professionalism and the care this stray cat received. Thank God for People and organisations like this. I donated and I will continue to donate and I encourage everyone to donate to this wonderful organisation.

“During our visit to the Magical Monkey experience at Jungle Friends, we fed the monkeys and learned about their sad pasts. The guide's knowledge of the 170 monkeys was impressive, knowing many by name. The experience was enjoyable.”

“They saved our baby girl Nova. When the vet we were at charged us $1200 just for office visit blood work n x-ray, that wasn't enough. They then advised us it was going to cost another $3-5k to perform emergency hysterectomy or within 24 hrs, she would die. One of their staff said to take her to No more homeless pets and even though I didn't have an appointment they took her in. Our family are very Happy to say Nova survived and is doing wonderful. So grateful for everyone here”

“Awesome, awesomer and awesomest!
Ronald McDonald House let us use their large conference room gratis, and gave us a very interesting, refreshing and inspirational tour of the beautiful facility. RMH’s mission is to provide a
home-away-from-home for the families of (typically) critically ill children being treated at our local hospitals. What a blessing that is when the moms and dads are overwhelmed by worry over the most important thing(s) in their lives! There are snacks 24/7 & possibly meals, private rooms and bathrooms, kind and helpful staff who appear dedicated to the mission are readily available.
Bottom line: I absolutely could NOT have been more impressed and touched by the superior quality of care and compassion the charity offers to families parents and children!!”

“I've been coming here for 6years or more. It's a great place to make an appointment to have your tax done for free, and it's back within two weeks or less. They also do straight deposit into your account. I love coming here!”

“I haven't been to the Friends of the Library book sale in a while, so going was kind of an experience. I didn't really have a goal in mind for what I wanted, so just going through the stacks and browsing to see if anything caught my eye was the basic plan. Lots of people lined up, but I got through the line pretty quickly. Inside, the books are arranged in a reasonable order, and the different sections are easy to identify, so finding areas that interested me was not a problem. Coming across the cooking section, I found that there were a number of smaller cookbooks that I like to term as "Wive's Club Cookbooks" which can be some of the best/most entertaining cookbooks you can come across due to the nature of the recipes that are contained in them. You never know what you are going to find in them, though recipes from the 1960's are prevalent and gelatin comes into heavy play. Good stuff there, and I stocked up on them. Overall, the Friends of the Library book sale is always a good thing to go to!”

“Update: Megan has been working with us to help with my son’s behaviors and so far so good. She is giving us good tips on how to redirect certain behaviors for a positive outcome, she keeps good communication and try to plan accordingly to our wants and needs. We are very happy with the service and the effort put into it. Thank you!

Horrible service! My kid was receiving therapy at this place and got discharged without any paperwork to say what areas they evaluated or how he got evaluated (the therapist, Bella, only took him to the room and observed him play, her words). After a month or so they concluded he didn’t need therapy and wouldn’t give us the information on his evaluation without a court order, even though he is a minor. On the other hand, they recommended family therapy which we agreed to do but it has been 4 months and multiple phone calls but the supervisor wont call back. So far we are very disappointed.”

“I’ve been a donor to Insulin for Life USA for several years and continue to be impressed by their accountability, transparency, and dedication to saving lives across the U.S. and around the world.

It’s rare to find an organization with people so genuinely committed to their mission.

The whole idea of turning surplus supplies into lifesaving support is truly remarkable.”

“I walked in to St Francis on dec 9th, 2024 petrified not knowing what was going to happen in my life, I lost everything due to a rough divorce! When I met Miss Sheyla, I knew immediately I was safe, she reassured me that everything was going to be okay. Our weekly meetings gave me the confidence I needed to get back on track, then came Mrs. Ameera giving me all the housing resources I needed to call, visit and follow up with, the team was amazing and helpful, couldn’t have done it without them. Mrs Tavia’s firm and strict ethics are what the residents need to have a successful story, can’t forget the advocates, each and one of them have made a difference in my life and I’m thankful, and to the back stage personal support I thank you for all your hard work and dedication to each and every case.
Today I am HOME full of gratitude, love and respect for each person that makes St. Francis a safe haven for clients like me.

For ever greatful,

Nency F.”

“Pretty good place has some good deals .some items are priced at normal store prices which is mind blowing considering these are donated items. 50.00 dollars for a tent. 40.00 for a plate set.. 75.00 for a small oven. 450.00 for a dresser ? 500.00 for a bed. It wasn't a nice bed either or the dresser I skipped this section”

“Lovely setting in the middle of a very popular downtown area of parks, shops, eateries, upscale condos and hotels. AND then the homeless have set in. What a tragedy for them and this area. July 2022 and people sleeping all about. The city has an obligation to taxpayers and residents to solve the issue. No excuses. Homelessness degrades a community, encourages vagrants, crime and debris. It increases sanitation issues. Alachua County is supposedly the highest IQ County in Florida. DO SOMETHING ! START CARING ABOUT THOSE LESS FORTUNATE. Its a tragedy in itself but it detracts from a quaint shopping area where owners are trying to do something good for the area and make an honest living.”

“The YMCA is amazing! They have such wonderful values and really makes everyone feel welcome and like a family. I want to commend the YMCA on always making new progress and also to commend their pool manager, Lesley. She is always trying her best to keep the pool up and running for their members. We would love if she can get some more reliable lifeguards, and if we could get a sponsor to help fix up some outdated things at the pool. Other than that the Ymca has made a great home for the Aqua Angels Artistic Swimming Team and we will continue our support for this wonderful organization!”

“Visiting Grace Marketplace was a deeply moving experience. Being there among people who are suffering from homelessness and living on the streets made me realize the true humanity of those who dedicate themselves to helping others. The staff and volunteers show incredible empathy, patience, and dedication, even when the situations they face are often very difficult.
I couldn’t help but cry for them—for everyone there. Each person has their own story, their own pain, and their own way of coping with life. Some may not handle it in the best ways, but it’s impossible to fully understand unless you’ve walked in their shoes.
Today I experienced this reality firsthand, and it touched my heart deeply. I can only pray for them and send blessings to all the people who continue to help with kindness, compassion, and a smile. Grace Marketplace is more than a shelter—it is a place of hope and humanity.”

“This store always has the most respectful employees. We have been shopping at this location for years. The manager Dana always goes above and beyond to help us. On a recent visit, we were greeted by Terrance that was a happy, very professional (employee) that helped us load our purchases. Keep up the great work.”
