Dear YouthZone,
I am writing to thank you for your services. My son was arrested two months before his 18th birthday for breaking curfew with a pot pipe in his possession. I have never been involved in the court system, so I cannot begin to tell you what a blessing YouthZone was for us. 

The YouthZone case manager was there for every court date and walked us through the process. Her assessments were fair and she truly cared for my son’s best interest and future. She really wanted him to succeed. When he didn’t do what was required by the courts, he ended up spending five days in jail. This time was very hard for me. I felt like a failure as a parent. Nobody wants to watch their son be walked out of court in handcuffs. 

I don’t think I could have made it through without YouthZone’s support and compassion. YouthZone wasn’t there just for the court dates; they also called me regularly just to see how I was holding up. YouthZone was truly my Angel. I just wanted to let you know that YouthZone’s services were invaluable to my family. Thanks again.

 A grateful parent
