Crisis Center of Tampa Bay | Compassionate Services that Offer Help, Hope & Healing, [https://www.crisiscenter.com/] including this year a portion donated to AMBER NAHORODNY- CLEARWATER POLICE DEPARTMENT TELECOMMUNICATOR. Amber was recently diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I have worked in Clearwater as a police dispatcher for the past 20 years.
