Meet Flor and her daughter, Luna π
When Flor learned Luna would be born with Down syndrome, she was met with uncertainty, but also with support. Through Alpha Resource Center, Flor found guidance, resources, and a community that reminded her she wasnβt alone.
Today, Luna is a joyful little girl surrounded by love, possibility, and a family that supports her every step of the way.
