BOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Inspire U, a new store opening Saturday at the Kyova Mall near Ashland, will benefit teens in foster care.
Foster kids from 6th through 12th grades can shop for new and gently used clothing. They can get six items per month free, and foster children in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky are all welcome.
"We wanted to have a place that was special to them," said Leanne Gollihue of Inspire U. "Sometimes our society looks down on kids in foster care. They view them sometimes as troubled children or whatever. Now they have something that's completely theirs."
The grand opening for Inspire U is from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Kyova Mall. The store is an outreach for Jamie's Sake, a faith-based foster outreach program.

What a great idea!! If you ever think of coming 2 this area let me know. May God bless you & Heaven always shine upon you for your caring heart.
I read in the Daily Independent that she said the young shoppers suggested the store carry more skinny-leg jeans, Vans shoes and novelty T-shirts to be even more appealing to teens.
i'm wondering since the foster kids dont get a check and cant work since they are in school how can they buy these clothes. maybe set up a program so as these kids could earn some money to buy what they want that away it would give them a feeling of earning it of self well being. so much more should be done for these kids. after all they are our future.
