In Your Words...

A recent email received from a former Ashler Manor resident:

Hello,

This email is just to say Hello, and Happy Holidays. I was a resident there a few years ago, and I feel that your program was extremely beneficial to me and to my family. Although it did not feel beneficial at the time, in the long run, I feel that it was thanks to Ashler Manor, and some very special staff, that I was/am able to be okay and content in my life, and with myself. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to be involved in such a program as this, to help and encourage adolescents like myself to make better life decisions and be able to function appropriately in society. I am doing well now, and I feel like I am accomplishing something for myself. I am enrolled in College. I am a Receptionist for a rather large company. I live with my parents, (go figure)! I am No Longer in a relationship, and I am Content. I do engage in normal social activities now. I appreciate life, and people who come into it, regardless of their method of entry.

Thank you all for your time and concern and the energy you successfully conveyed to me, by being the wonderful people that you all are! I appreciate that there are people such as yourselves who are so quick to help and be there and a part of something so important, because without that program, God only knows where I would be today. Some days it must be hard, and I just want let you know that you all have left everlasting impressions upon my heart. I felt it was my duty to convey these thoughts, because you've all influenced me to be the person that I am today. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Hannah*
