Alpha House of Tampa

empower pregnant and parenting women in crisis to realize their ability to break the cycles of poverty and abuse and create promising lives

ALPHA House of Pinellas County

ALPHA’s founder was faced with this dilemma in 1979. An idea came to life in the heart of the late Roy Deeb when he received a call from a girl “in trouble” who wanted to be a mother to her unborn child, but had no place to go.

There was no program in Pinellas to help this young, pregnant woman. Out of this need, with the help of a caring group, a small house in downtown St. Petersburg was secured and ALPHA was born.

In 1992, the facility known as the “Miracle on 5th Avenue” was built with help from the community. Since its inception, ALPHA’s residential program has given countless young women and babies the promise of a bright future.

Suncoast Hospice

• tampa bay,

Here is a Thank You note we received for a donation our chapter made:

Dear Helene: I just got home and found the wonderful card from the Suncoast Hospice Center with the Diva Donation. I'm at a lost for words at the generosity from my Sisters. Hope to see you all at the next Diva Meeting to thank everyone in person. I'm a little lost right now but hope as the days go on I get stronger each day. It's so very hard to loose your best friend. Thank you again I will never forget the generosity.
