Fred B's Youth Villages Success Story

Like so many children taken into state custody because of neglect, Fred developed behavioral problems, coming to Youth Villages for foster care and residential services. Youth Villages believes children are raised best by families. Our Intensive In-home counselors reunited Fred with his Aunt Shirley and assisted as they became a family through adoption. This spring, Freds Youth Villages counselor was there with the family when Fred addressed his senior class as valedictorian. At Mississippi State University on an academic scholarship this fall, hes also on the football team. Hes been an inspiration to me, his aunt says. Hes an inspiration to all of us.
