Appreciation Letters

Dear Cross Creek Programs,
    I would like to thank you for being there for my friend and cousin, helping them through this tough time that they are going through.  I am a sibling of Jackie C., and I am so happy that you are helping her.  Also, I would like to thank you for making seminars to help me, also the other people, change and learn the things my friend is learning.  So I would like to thank you and I appreciate what you do for me, my friend, her family and other families that are doing this program too.

Sincerely,

Catherine S.

Thane and Carolyn,
     Today is our last day of Focus. What a 4 days!! I have learned so much and feel ready to begin the next chapter of my life. I am so grateful parents are included in all of the steps the kids are required to do. It makes so much sense.
     I want to thank you for all you do for the boys but especially my Jason. I see greatness n him as I know every parent does. What I wasn’t able to accomplish you are doing even as I write this letter. You both were answers to my prayers and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
                                                             God bless you both,
                                                                                             Carol C.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
     I want to take this opportunity to thank you for providing the Focus Seminar to parents who have a child at Cross Creek. Focus gave me more insight on accountability, feedback, openness, thinking outside the box and stretching. The Focus Seminar provided me more time to practice these principles and improve my performance in using them. I am looking forward to going to Cross Creek in several months to attend PC – 1. I know what I learned this weekend will help my son and I as we start the process for him to come home.
                                             Thank you, Jim C.

Karla & Brent & Staff

Thank you so much for helping Jason to get back on track.  The experiences that you are giving him will unlock the person that he is.
Jason has a huge heart that I didn’t explore as much as I should have.  Ask him about the time a couple come to our garage sale looking for a toy for their sick grandson.  Rather than have buy something from our garage sale, Jason told them to wait for him to get a special car from his own collection of toys.  He gave that car to them with no conditions.
Thank you again so for what you are doing for him and others.  I have grown and learned many things about myself in the past 2 months and 2 seminars.  I will keep working and be able to carry on with what you are opening within Jason.

Love and Thanks
John Hanna

Dear Cross Creek Staff;
Thank you for equipping my family with the tools to become whole and complete.  Taking this journey so far has helped me discover and uncover my magical child.  There are so many changes that have been created for my daughter and me.  I see both of us making working choices that continue to enhance our relationship.
I know now who I am.  I am a free, fearless, honest woman!!
With a grateful heart of service

Dear Thane and Carolyn,
     I want to acknowledge your dedication to my son Joel and to let you know you are appreciated for your focus and vision. This program is not only a blessing for Joel but for me as well. I feel blessed that you both are on our side and are so dedicated and giving of your knowledge and experience. Thank you for keeping my son safe and allowing me to take care of myself. I would like to thank you for keeping your work about being an open door facility and for the beautiful setting the school is located in. From day one all of the staff at Cross Creek has been supportive and loving, special gratitude goes to Beverly, Kara and Dallas. Mr. Dallas did what it took both times I met him with precision; compassion and fun. Thank you all for being in your GREATNESS and helping me in mine.

Cross Creek Academy,
    As an intelligent, caring and beautiful woman, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking care of my Grandson, Justin’s well being.  He is a very intelligent, handsome and kind hearted young man who chose a wrong path for himself.  His problems and bad attitude could not be handled by his family and we therefore entrusted you to teach him the discipline and values that will help him become the wonderful young man he is.
    I pray for his recovery and I am thankful that you now have him in your school.  We miss him so much and I’m hoping that someday he will see the value of our decision in that we loved him so much that we needed help beyond what we could provide.
    I’m also praying that my Grandson is one of your success stories in future years.  I’m appreciative of the seminars you provide to parents such as myself that give us the strength and courage and growth to become better human beings.

Sincerely,

Sandra A

I want to  take the time to thank the staff at Cross Creek. You worked very hard to make my decision. And I did make the right decision. I have seen tremendous growth in my daughter already! You haven't let me down - or her. I know how hard it is to deal with just Karli, I can't imagine dealing with the amont of kids you have there. And you make progress! I'm so glad that there is a facility out there, to help us put our lives  back together. I want to Thank all of you! You're doing a tremendous job.
                                                                  Best wishes,   Bruce B.
Dear Trainers, and Family Reps at Cross Creek Programs,
     I don't know your names but I know your hearts. You are doing the work with our kids that we were not able to do and we will be forever grateful.  My name is Betty and I am the proud grandma of Karli, words cannot really express how much I appreciate the work you are doing with her. Her father Bruce, and I are so pleased with her progress and so very proud of her.
     I especially want to thank you, Kathy. Bruce tells me that you are the family rep. that talks with him. I don't know her therapists name (Garth) but he is doing wonderful work with her as well.
     We completed our third day of the Focus seminar and it was a wonderful experience, unlike anything I've ever done! It will take a while for me to sort it out and process it. Joyce helps us because she tells us how the kids do it. That helps to keep me totally committed to go through this with Karli.
     I met Matt T. (Radio 3) tonight and he asked me for a grandma Hug because he recently lost his grandma. I was delighted to do that because I love being a grandma and giving grandma hugs! Maybe he can give Karli a grandma hug for me.
     Thanks again for giving the kids and my granddaughter a chance to start over.
                                                                                Sincerely Betty B.

Dear Cross Creek Staff;
My wife and I would like to send our deepest appreciation for all that you have one for our family.  We are blessed to have so many people supporting us through his journey.  Only five months ago our world was dark and gloomy.  After four months at Cross Creek, we are gaining direction and focus in our life, equally important; we are reconnecting with our son Kevin.  We look forward to our phone calls and feel such happiness by the progress he is making, now we believe everything will be fine due to the exceptional work the many people do at Cross Creek. You will be forever in our thoughts and prayers.
All our love
Tony & Deb D.

Dear Cross Creek,
     We entrusted our daughter to you three months ago. I knew God meant for her to go there. I feel so blessed that we as a family and Liz can heal, grow and live again.
    Thank you for providing the seminars for parents also. This is the hardest but best thing I have ever done in my life.
     Thanks for showing me that family must get better not just the child. I love Norm and Karla and what they mean to Liz and our family.
     Thank you for my LIFE!!           Roberta L.
Dear Cross Creek,
    My name is Richelle L, my son is Devon L, and he has been at your facility for about three months now.  Within that time I have seen him begin to open a little.  For that I thank you.  He has only been there a short period of time but through your willingness to show up each day and work your magic with all that you have to offer, my heart feels a little lighter, thank you.
    No longer does my son want to die.  He writes of dreams and purpose and for that I thank you.  You were there for my family when could not be there for ourselves and for that I am grateful.
    I will always be grateful for your returning my son, my family and myself home.

With grateful sincerely,

Richelle L

Dear Cross Creek Center,
    I appreciate all that you do to try and assist my son with getting his life back in order.  It is a tough task and one that goes without much praise, but do know how greatly I thank you and send my love to you.  Just know that you may not hear it, but the parents are for sure feeling it, thinking it and expressing it.

Thank you, thank you so much, I appreciate you.

Love,
Shawn L

Dear Cross Creek Staff,
     Thank you very much for providing structure and support to my brother, Mathew H. I failed to make the proper choices with regards to myself and that reflected onto him. With regards to your training and the values that you adhere too, my brother Matt will came home as a stable, well adjusted young man. I can never begin to thank you for all that you do for him, and thus for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

                                                                       Sincerely, Nick H.

Dear Cross Creek Staff,
      This is the last day of the Focus Seminar. My grandson Matt is with you all. I had the pleasure to be there a few weeks ago to visit Matt. I have met several of you at that time - it was a wonderful day to be there and see Matt. and have a great visit with him, along with his aunt, uncle, brother, and sister. We had a wonderful day, it was sad to leave him. Everyone was so kind, caring and loving. I have also attended the Discovery seminar in April and on the last day of Focus.
    I have gained so much and feel I have grown from these seminars. The staff for the seminars are really great - they help you so much and I really feel good about so many things in my life that I have been stuffing away in a big box. I feel fortunate to have my family to talk to since they have been to so many more than I. Thank you all so much and I will keep you all in my prayers for the job you are doing. I know it is not easy and good to hear the feedback from you that Ann and Pete share with all of us. Thank you and God bless you.
                                                                                          Florence S.
Dear Cross Creek Staff,
    I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my child’s life.  You are the answer to my prayers.  You truly are a blessing, a golden blessing.  Your balanced program with the structured daily schedule is exactly what my child needed and ultimately wanted.  Thank you for proving such a service that encourages and provides character building.  Without your service, my child might have not lived. You have provided the only workable means for my son to develop proper motivation and direction in his life.  I am deeply grateful to you for saving my child with love and consistency.  
    In teaching my son the virtues of honest integrity, accountability and responsibilities, I am forever indebted to you and for serving all parents in restoring the family unit.  You provide opportunities for families to learn to be trustworthy and honest and open for change.  Your school provides excellent opportunities for my son to learn to maximize his potential.  Most importantly, I want to thank each and everyone of you for providing a safe haven for my son, that inspires the values of love, acceptance and purpose. I have always believed that it truly does take a village to raise a child, you are my village.

Mary S
