Appreciation Letters

Dear Spring Creek, Thank you for doing such a great job with my son. I know that he is learning much as I have. It�s a true shame the majority of our population do not see the benefit of self-help and motivational seminars. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for y our dedication to making the world a better place.
Sincerely,

Scott

I want to thank you for making these programs possible. I have learned so much at Focus, that when I get home, I will be able to continue down this road I have started on. My sister, Terri is at your facility and I am very appreciative that she has the opportunity to learn all of this at such a young age. I really could have used something like this about seven years ago, when I was her age. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge with me. Always,

Tracy

Dear Becky R., Trainers, and Facility Staff, Thank you for the time you have spent coaching, inspiring and challenging our daughter, Lisa. I cannot imagine taking on this task. Thank God, you can. The hours you have spent changing her life are greatly appreciated. I have seen so much growth and change in her already. I hold on to the belief that she will come back to me as a strong, confident, happy young lady. I just finished the Focus seminar. What a powerful weekend. I feel as if I have been reborn. It is a wonderful feeling. I can�t wait to share my experience with her.

Thanks again for caring so much about Lisa. God bless you.

Fondly,

Debbie

Dear Becky, Trainers, and Everyone at Spring Creek: Thank you for the time you�ve spent with Lisa. From the time we first talked to Becky, we knew that we were very lucky to have Lisa under your supervision. We know that it would tike a lot of work on her part, and you have willingly provided her with the training and tools. I look forward to our conversations every Tuesday. I can tell that you are all working very hard and are very dedicated to the children under your care. Rest assured that your work and thoughts, concerns and care are appreciated; and I am sure that you will reap rewards many times over! Thank you again very much

Best Regards,

Dear Cammy and Staff, I appreciate everything you do for all of these kids. I know it means so much not only to their parents or grandparents but also to them too. Doug told my parents that he was glad he got sent up there because he was not happy with his life, and it was nice to be able to change. It also means a lot to me because not I get to go through all these great seminars that make me feel like such a better person inside. I thank you greatly. Sincerely,

Alan

I deeply appreciate you giving yourselves to my daughter and all the children at Spring Creek. I have sent my precious gift, my daughter, to a place I have never been to. I trusted a group of people I have never met. That says a lot about each and every one of you. Any of the staff I have spoken to has projected warmth and genuine care to me, a person you have never met. My daughter has expressed �I love �. This person reminds me of you. That one is so funny.� She has not expressed any negative feelings. I know she is receiving warm and loving care. Be it up in her face or not. That is all warm loving care. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and all of me. I am committed to the program all the way. I thank you for helping and supporting my family thru this crisis. I acknowledge your jobs are not easy. Hugs to all. I look forward to meeting you. My experience is you are all warm loving beautiful people. Thank you. Love,

Kathy

The day we dropped our daughter off at Spring Creek was the hardest and easiest day in my life. My Daughter has been gone for six and a half months. This time has been the most difficult time in my life and at the same time Spring Creek saved my daughter�s life. Prior to her being there she wasn�t making healthy decisions and also very disrespectful to almost everyone around her. At the same time she pretty much disliked me (mom). Now at the present my daughter actually loves me again. Through out letters and myself emailing her there has been such a tremendous change in our relation ship. I am getting my baby back. As well before she left, her manners were horrible. She now has great manners and appreciates the little things. She used to be a taker now she gives us her love. It has been so rewarding watching all those changes. If it wasn�t for Spring Creek, one only knows!! So thank you for saving my daughter� The seminars as well have changed my life and me. So I owe my life you all. Special thanks to Janet R. for all her time and her commitment to our child and her charges. Mike L. as well has been a very positive influence to our child as well. I know there must be others, but I could go on and on.

To All of my Friends at Spring Creek: I would like to acknowledge you all for the gift you and the program are giving to my family. Right now you are giving to my son, Johnathan. But truelly you are giving to my entire family because one day John will come home to us and we will be able to continue out lives together. So I want to thank you all for the gift of my son and the future of my family. With love to you all,

Shannon

To All of Spring Creek: When I first needed help with my son, Bart, I found you facility. We took the chance with you, but from the time we dropped him off, we had a very comfortable feeling. All of the staff work together in a way that reflects you one common goal, to help Bart and all of the other kids to the best of your ability. At PC1 when I saw Bart, I could see most wonderful changes in him. He was on his way to becoming a different person, a caring, honest, open, hardworking kid. I truly believe that you are saving his life and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would also like to thank you for the opportunity of viewing a picture of Bart each week on the website. Bart�s smile gets bigger with each picture. Thanks again to all of you at Spring Creek. I love you all. Sincerely,

Kathleen

Dear Staff, Thank you for being committed to save my Grandson�s futures. I am sure that you hear times over and over, and maybe some of you know from experience the feeling of gratitude. Words can never be enough to express my love for you all, so I will tell you that you are in my prayers. And ask Gods Blessing on you for all your lives.

Geri

Dear Spring Creek Lodge Personnel, Thank you so much for having this wonderful system. Discovery and Focus, Visions, etc. I am now in Focus and want to express my undying appreciation for these programs, for us parents. The lessons I�ve learned about myself are endless and I�ll continue to Learn as I apply these principals to my life. What you�re doing is a wonderful thing and you should feel proud of yourselves for the accomplishments you make, with my child and the children of other parents. Thank you with Love,

Jon

Gentle People � I want to share my gratitude to and with everyone at the facility. Today I have had the most amazing experience in Focus here in San Francisco. Thank you all so much for making this whole program available to my grandson and myself. The insights I have received about relationships have given me tools to work with and think about, applying in the future. I realize how I have contributed to the fact that my grandson is in your care. By being a giver � which I thought was loving � only created a resentful taker � What a wake up call that was!! I cannot buy his love. More than anything in this world, I desire a loving relationship and an honest one with my grandson. You are making this possible and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you � Thank you. With Love and Blessings, Hazel I am strong, loving, spontaneous woman!!!

Every one of you that we have been in contact with has helped to reinforce our very difficult decision that we had to make in order to save our son�s life. We applaud each and every one of you for your immense dedication to our son and our family. Sincerely, Fran &

Fran & Deb

To the Staff at Spring Creek: I don�t think I can put into words how much I appreciate everything you have done for my son. The love you have shown him on a daily basis even though he has fought the love over and over again. I appreciate your strength; you constantly challenge my son to be the best Quinn that he can be. No matter how difficult this must be. I appreciate the time you have spent with my son, truly giving with this time, even when it has interrupted other activities and your own personal time. I cannot that you enough for all of this and more. I thank you for all the things you do that I don�t even know about. Thank you again,

Dear Spring Creek, On November 7, 2002, just two months and three weeks ago, I brought my first-born child to your facility. We flew in from Chicago, Spent the night in a local motel, and drove him to you at 11:00am. Giving him up to you, holding him in my arms to say goodbye, and then turning away, walking out the door, and driving off was without a doubt the most significantly, painful experience I have ever had in my life, yet in that moment of deep pain and despair, I knew it was also the most profound, empowering moment of my life. I am out to save my child�s life and you have provided the vehicle though which I can accomplish my intention. My experience of gratitude towards you and your staff is so huge, it seems impossible. My child is safe. My child is completely surrounded by a staff that cares deeply, so deeply in fact they spend says of just �hanging out� or having meaningful conversations with my child. I fully acknowledge that both our son's and our families� journey will be filled with many challenges and will indeed be on going, yet you have brought a grand new sense of hope into our families life. We simply cannot wait to experience, as a whole united family, the extreme joys to come. Yours in deep gratitude, Megan A.

Wendy and I would like to express our gratitude to each of the staff for the many ways you help each day, support, nurture, and look after our daughter Lindsay. As you must know, she is a precious child of God and precious to us in so many ways. We did a lot of research, as well as praying before we sent our daughter to your school. Lindsay has been there since October 10th and we remain impressed and comfortable that Lindsay is in great hands and where she needs to be. Although we miss her, we know that she needed a change in her environment in order that her life might be saved. We are encouraged by the progress she I making, but most of all committed to seeing the program though to the end. We will be visiting Spring Creek for PC-1 in early October and look forward to seeing the facility. We will be reinforcing our exit plan, which will outlive the fact that Lindsay will not be able to return to our/her home unless she completes the program. (She turns 18 on April 21) Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It must be quite amazing to deal with so many teens with so many issues, and quite a blessing to see so many lives transformed. We are still working on our issues! Sincerely, John &

John & Wendy

I would like to thank everyone at Spring Creek Lodge for giving my son, David , the love and guidance he has needed over the last eight months. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at PC-1 the first week of February 2003. Until then keep unfolding all of our children.
