Real testimonials from our service users
From a parent
This following testimony was written by a parent of young male, supported by White Gold Cornwall.
"Please allow me to express my gratitude for what you have done for my son. What you have demonstrated was compassion through wisdom. The joint collaboration from you both, giving my cause some real direction and positive energy. I feel it deserves to be recognised and that a few sincere words of gratitude is the least I can do right now. Thank you for understanding his needs and going the extra mile to help this remarkable young man. Your kindness is literally healing his soul. I witnessed my son, so desperate, with so much hope in his eyes, prep himself he had written out questions, he was ready and waiting by his phone at 6.30 as if his life depended on it. Like a soldier waiting for his orders. I saw my son again for the first time in 20 years at that moment. The goodness in his heart was alive again. You have filled my son’s heart with respect and admiration. Both had once completely died. He can see people round him he can trust and respect. Whatever the outcome I needed to recognise that in this moment in time you gave us Hope, Trust and Integrity"
"Exceptional circumstances, a young man out of county that has accepted he has gone in the wrong direction with the potential for very serious consequences. He knew something had to change and White Gold received a call and, although not our area, we felt the need to help, if we could. The support continues, but the father was very keen that we share this testimonial. The degree of reflection from the parent needs to be shared as it covers so many other aspects of love, care, family, the person in the center. We all need to help where we can. The parent has asked this be shared with others who may benefit from these incredible heart felt words.
