“Before I was introduced to Alphapointe, I didn’t really think there was anybody out there like me.”

“We have found a place that can give us direction. Honestly, I spent quite a bit of time crying during and after our first event with Alphapointe. I was so moved and relieved and overwhelmed by all of it.”

“Alphapointe is doing an excellent job of keeping these kids interacting and keeping the friendships consistent.”
