GOODY's of Dyersburg is a new Youth Villages partner in helping children. Foster parents will receive a one-time 15-percent discount on clothing when shopping for a new foster child placed in their foster home.  

"Youth Villages is thrilled to have GOODY's as a strong community partner that cares about foster children and supports foster families," says Lydia Nicks, senior regional foster parent recruiter based in Dyersburg. "We are so grateful for GOODY's commitment to our foster families!" 

Kylie's greatest wish came true just a few days before Christmas. She was placed for adoption on December 20 after years of hoping to find a permanent, loving family. Kylie is excited to start the new year off with her adoptive mother in Middle Tennessee. 

Congratulations, Kylie, from the entire Youth Villages Dyersburg staff. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Your help is needed!!!!

1. There are children in your area that need families to open their homes and hearts.  They need you to be their foster family.  For more information on fostering a child in your area please contact Scott Fields at 731-288-4612 or Send Scott an e-mail
2. Would you consider putting a yard sign, like the one shown, at your home to help Youth Villages advertise for foster care?  If so contact Lydia Nicks at 731-288-4613 or Send Lydia an e-mail
