The Fayette

Youth Protection Home has received funds from United Way that will allow

anger management to continue as a part of its program for abused and neglected

children.

The Fayette

Youth Protection Home, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation which owns the

Asden Johnson and Jim Friday homes. The Friday Home, in northern Fayette

County, has been operating since 1989 and the Johnson Home, located in

Brooks, is four years old. The combined facilities house 16 children for

extended care with four additional beds for emergencies.

"We were

expecting a cut this year because United Way giving was off. We did not

increase our request for funds this year in an effort to be good citizens

in this time of national need," said Jane Gough, development coordinator

for the charity. "So we were thrilled that individual donors, giving

through United Way, remembered us."
