youth health

The people at the alex go out of their way to help you, and get to know you. This wasn’t just counseling. I left home when I was 15. I really didn’t know how to take care of myself. The alex people gave me a place to feel safe during the day, found me a doctor, taught me how to apply for a job, figured out a way to get a roof over my head.

I tell anyone who comes to me who may need a doctor, STI testing, need food how the alex is thorough, and everyone cares. The place is kind of like a small town, a small community.

The last few years I haven’t needed their help as much. I want to make them proud seeing me back on my feet again.
