"Breakthrough is the reason why I'm very open, very social, and will always have the heart to help others. I volunteer with a smile on my face knowing I'm giving back to the community who received me with open arms and turned me into something great. There are absolutely no words of gratitude that can explain how grateful my parents and I are to be part of this program and will forever be a part of." -Joscelyn Capula
