"Gateway to me is a symbol of hope. Without connections my family would not be at this stage in life. I have developed a vision for Alex's life with the help of Gateway's family support team. Everyone at Gateway cares. They get it. Reach out for help. Don't think everything can be done on your own."

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

“Before working at Starbucks, I was not able to talk to any strangers at all. Now, thanks to Starbucks and slowly pushing me out of my comfort zones, I am a different person than I was [three] years ago.

Along with being able to be more extroverted, as I will call it, I’m able to do this outside of work as well.

So I’m able to talk to my classmates, participate more in group projects, make more friends, get out of my room a little bit more. It makes me feel more visible to everyone else, instead of me trying to hide.”
