Flourishing as a businessman is a great thing. It opens up new avenues of prosperity and growth, regardless of the field you find yourself in. Often, economic success allows businesspeople to engage in activities they would not have had the resources to support before. After acquiring his real estate license in 2005, Michael Padova began to explore different charitable organizations to which he could begin to contribute. After careful research and deliberation, Michael Padova began to regularly give money to help fund the Children's Miracle Network. Giving to any charity is an excellent and admirable activity, especially when the donor makes it a regular habit instead of a one-time donation. Michael Padova chose especially well, as he chose to support a charity that deals specifically with helping children.
When asked why he chose the Children's Miracle Network, Michael Padova said that it really was a simple decision. “As I considered my options,” Michael Padova said, “I realized that I had the opportunity to live a healthy, excellent childhood. These young people have not had that opportunity, and Children's Miracle Network was trying to give it to them.” Such admirable motives should not go unrecognized, but Michael Padova says that he did not do it for the recognition. “Really, I just wanted to give some of these kids a better chance of enjoying the same kinds of things I enjoyed when I was their age,” he said.

Charity and community involvement is a big deal to Michael Padova. Outside of his involvement with Children's Miracle Network, Padova treats his business as an opportunity for community involvement. Barefoot Property Management is another avenue through which Michael Padova can influence the community around him. One of Michael Padova's main goals in running Barefoot Property Management is to work to improve the quality of life of his clients. He says that he wants to provide peace of mind to property owners who entrust their holdings to him so that they can relax and have a better quality of life.

Michael Padova intends to continue his involvement with charitable giving and specifically hopes to continue working with Children's Miracle Network. He hopes to increase his charitable giving as his business grows.
