Dear Spring Creek Staff,
I just finished Focus and realized how much I appreciate all you are doing for my son. David is growing, achieving and accomplishing things he had completely given up on over the past several years. In spite of the pain, he is creating a life he never thought possible, and most of all his self-esteem has started to improve and grow beyond belief. I never thought it would happen.
I want to thank the staff at Spring Creek for providing for all of David’s needs. I know he is being well taken care of and can relax knowing he is in good hands. The thanks I feel is given to all the staff: the kitchen crew the custodians, the gardeners and landscapers, the maintenance staff, the family reps, and family fathers and mothers. I’m sure I’m missing very special and important people, so thank you to all the people I don’t know, but am so thankful for.
Focus should be an “awards”group, and the Oscar goes to Spring Creek. So take a bow and know your service counts beyond your wildest expectations!
Sincerely and with Thanksgiving,
Christa H

Dear Members of the Staff:
This is a letter of appreciation for being there. Today marks ninety days since we committed our son Patrick to your care. It was a tough decision to acknowledge that we had reached the limit and did not know how to make an impact with him.
We know how difficult it was for us. I can appreciate the dedication and energy it takes to interact in a positive manner with hundreds like him. I do know it is making a difference to Patrick and to us – and wish to express my heartfelt gratitude and support for your efforts.
Sincerely,
Timothy M. G.

Dear Jim,
This is a letter of appreciation to you and all staff members at Spring Creek Lodge. Dealing with adolescents has to be one of the most frustrating, challenging and yet rewarding experiences for you all there at Spring Creek Lodge Academy.
I appreciate all that you do – Taking my child along with so many others and loving them enough to make them stand accountable for what they do and who they are and who they can become.
As a benefit from my son’s misbehaviors I have had the good fortune of attending the life altering experiences of the Discovery and Focus workshops/seminars. The people involved are truly committed to the sole purpose of helping hurting parents. I am Patrick and Patrick is me – insecure, untrusting, fearful and yet with great power, strength and ability waiting to be released! The Focus experience is truly life altering – I will never ever forget it and am grateful to my osn for putting me there, and I can’t wait to tell him that - ! Thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
Linda M. G.

To The Staff of Spring Creek Academy,
I am the mother of Tianna Ramirez, and I just want to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart for accepting my daughter into you facility. Without you I do not know where our family would be today, tomorrow or the next.
You have not let me down so far and I thoroughly trust you with my daughter. I know she is in the right facility for her and us.
Everyone I have talked to has been so caring and understanding. They have never judged us as parents. I really need to acknowledge several people and they are PJ Sara and Jean. The only thing I want to say is Thank You & you guys ROCK.
Thank you for being there for our family and I cannot wait to meet you all.
Oh yes – thanks for Spirit month – I loved the fact that the family back home was able to participate.

Dear Judy & Mathew’s temporary family
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! You do not know how much I appreciate your willingness to work with my son and all the other kids at Spring Creek. I realize that without you I could not have taken the time to fix all the emotions and issues inside of me that allowed me to check out of our family for so long. Without you I could not have fully understood that I enabled Matthew’s sense of entitlement because it made me feel good to provide for him. What I didn’t see is that I was teaching him that life was all about receiving. What I hope and pray is that by the time he returns to me, you will have shown him how your service is returning wonderful thing to you because you get to see a restored soul. Knowing that you have equipped my child and others with the tools to be true leaders, caring compassionate people able to give and receive. Thank you for caring enough to be there for my son and others when I could not.
Forever in your debt

Dear Spring Creek,
I know it’s not easy to do what you do. I thank you for being there for my son, when I didn’t know how. I am grateful for the seminars, which have taught me how to be there for him when he comes home. I especially thank you for opening his eyes to what he truly is, and his potential.
Love

Dear Jim O. and all the staff at Spring Creek Lodge Academy,
Thank you so much for the part you are playing in saving our son’s life! He was headed on a path that was full of pain and disappointment which was frightening for us to watch.
We are also grateful that his mom and grandpa were willing and able to do whatever it took to get him the help that was needed.
Thank you also for being the first people to ever take a stand and stand up for our relationship with Zac. Before Spring Creek Lodge, no one had ever acknowledged how important our relationship with Zac is. We love Zac and are grateful to have this opportunity to work on building a deeper relationship with him.

Spring Creek Lodge Academy,
I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place fro my son to go. You truly are a blessing to my entire family not just my program child. My husband and I can finally sleep at night again. We know exactly where Tyler is, that he is safe, sober and heading towards a new beginning. This entire program is a gift to all of us. Even our non-program children are blossoming, and our marriage is back on track.
Thank you so much!
