Williams Story - Mr. Young met me at a strange time in my life, I was on brink of losing it all -Click to read
Mr. Young met me at a strange time in my life, I was on brink of losing it all and in some respects I already had. It was a chance meeting that went on to have such a profound effect upon my life, and I owe much to this man. I was young, at only 18 I had all my foundations ripped up from beneath me, having just recently been made homeless by my parents, I felt destined to fail. I was completely lost, adrift in my adolescence, without a proper roof over my head and feeling more alone than I have ever felt in my lifetime. It was around this time I was also battling the idea that I had mental difficulties, a social anxiety that made me want to shut myself down to everyone and had me feeling that I was emotionally dead, inept at 'being normal'.
4 years later, I look back to how far I have come, what I have achieved and the how bright the future looks and I can safely say that Richard Young has made this all possible. His work in the Youth Service was fundamental to my 'recovery' and I am where I am today because of his time and dedication repairing me when I was broken. His persistence and perseverance in securing me a place to spend the night when I had no-where to stay on the day I met him is admirable, and the determination to find me permanent accommodation further down the line led to me having many of problems resolved. Aside from my obvious housing needs, he provided me with consistent emotional and psychological support throughout the years, keeping me reassured that if I had any kind of issue, Richard was only a phone call away.
I am now happily settled in my own privately-rented flat with my girlfriend, surrounded by a strong network of family and friends and a stable job. All of this is the product of Richard Young, and the result of a chance meeting that so easily could never have happened but I'm so glad it did. Forever going above and beyond the call of duty, this man has touched many people's lives and improved them vastly, not just my own. His work never ended when he got home, his optimism and bright outlook never ceased to function once he left the office and most of all the motivation to help others has never wavered. For Richard, this isn't a job, this isn't a chore, not something that pays the bills... this is a state of mind.
