“Turning Point has given me the chance to not only continue to work on myself but also my goals.
Even with setbacks, I love being able to keep alive my dream of owning my own computer business.
I am also getting closer to the day when I will be moving out of the housing program, but I know because of the help of God and Turning Point, I am still sober.”
~A letter from a Housing client
