From July to February while I was at Sweeney, you helped me through a lot. During those months, you weren't just my counselor you were someone I could trust and rely on when things felt overwhelming. You always took the time to listen to me, guide me, and help me work through things when I didn't even know how to handle them on my own. The patience, understanding and support you showed me made a bigger impact on my life than i can fully put into words. There were moments when I struggled, but knowing that someone genuinely cared and believed in me made a real difference. You helped me see things differently, encouraged me to keep pushing forward, and reminded me that I was capable of doing better for myself. Those are things I still carry with me today. I'm truly grateful for everything you did for me while I was at Sweeney home. People don't realize how much a caring and supportive person can change someone's path, but I want you to know that you did that for me. Your guidance, kindness, and belief in me meant more than you may ever know. Thank you for being patient with me, for standing by me when I needed help, and for always pushing me toward a better future. I will always appreciate the role you played in my life. I hope you're doing well and continuing to help others the way you helped me. You made a real difference in my life and I'll never forget that. The lessons and support you gave me during that time will stay with me for the rest of my life.

"Dear Alex, I hope you're doing well. I've been thinking a lot about my time at Sweeney Home, and I felt It was important to reach out and tell you how much you truly meant to me during that time."
