Accolades & Testimonials
Alpha House of Tampa
Rachel and Jessica called Alpha House of Tampa, Inc. in July to inquire about ways for High Hopes in High Heels to
get involved with us. After a tour of the agency the wheels in their minds began turning and plans formed for the group to
come and have a fashion show. By the time I was afforded the opportunity to speak to other members of the group, the fashion
show had grown to an ice cream party and a dance competition! All of their plans sent a buzz of excitement through the staff
and clients of Alpha House. High Hopes in High Heels came to Alpha House one Friday in August and made it a night to remember
for our moms and babies.
In addition
to providing entertainment for a group of girls who are healing from past hurts and pains, High Hopes in High Heels also provided
some of the items they would need during the school year. Alpha House residents were blessed with folders, paper, rulers,
calculators, pens and other school supplies. They also donated a box full of toiletries. Some of the ladies in the organization
even offered to come on their own and volunteer!
The ladies of High Hopes in High Heels were a pleasure to work with and it is my highest hope that this relationship
will last throughout the years.

Crisis
Center of Tampa Bay
We are so thrilled to be working with High Hopes in High Heels this year as one of the chosen charities! These women
are energetic, passionate and motivated individuals who truly care about the concept of community. Many members came to visit
the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay for a tour of our services to find out more about us and how they could help. They were eager
to learn more and captured the tour memories with photos and video to share with the members who were unable to come. Their
service project was to volunteer for our Take Back the Night event in Hyde Park Village on April 17 for Sexual Assault Awareness
Month. They all stepped up in a big way by leading a creative t-shirt art project during the event for the resource fair.

HHinHH also spread the word about
us to Tampa Bay Women After Work, who coordinated member donations for hygiene items for our families in need of economic
assistance. We were so low on supplies, and that made a HUGE difference, along with the $55 in food cards.
We are incredibly thankful for their support
as we need friends now more than ever to ensure everyone knows about us! We served over 158,000 individuals last year in our
Tampa Bay community, and the Crisis Center really is this community coming together to support those who need a helping hand.
Thank you, High Hopes in High Heels, from the very bottom of our hearts and in honor of all those we serve, for bringing help,
hope and healing to so many through your kindness, dedication and support!
Our Sincerest Thanks,
