Grundy Recovery Alliance Community Endeavor (GRACE)

There is a need for entertainment for the youth that are waiting on foster placement. Age-appropriate DVDs for youth (12 to 17, male and female) that do not have any violence, inappropriate language, or sexual relations. Board and card games that are for 2 or more people, youth age coloring books and colored pencils, books, arts and crafts kits as well.

While a youth is receiving treatment for serious behavioral issues in Texas, a mother is working diligently in keeping up with the household and bills from daily life. In order for her to visit with her child, she needs assistance getting to him. She has a car and is willing to drive, but will need help with gas and a hotel. TAK has been assisting this family and has committed to continuing to help until he is able to be placed closer to home.

Travel will take place 6/12-6/14

Mom and adult daughter (who is pregnant) and 14 month old child live in the home and they need help with a water bill. They live in Sequatchie county. Water company is TN American. The family is the owner of the property.

The mother just obtained independent housing and needs a crib for her son.

We have a family of 5 and are looking to reunify the family. Parents have located housing and are lacking some essentials to complete their residential requirements.

We are thankful for any assistance that you may be able to provide. The children in need of dressers are young and the roll away bins would likely provide adequate space.

The children have been living with their maternal grandmother since 2019. There are three children in the home, and the only income coming in is from the Grandmother's job. The two girls share a mattress currently and would benefit from having their own separate beds. The one boy sleeps on a sofa bed in the living room but the AC in the living room does not work, and he would benefit from air conditioning. These items would help improve the children's wellbeing.

Good Morning,

I have a family that is needing assistance with having their hair treated for lice then gone through. The children are in Foster Care and during visits they have gotten lice twice. The bio-family is needing to be treated. Thank you for your assistance.

We are getting ready for Walker’s Kid’s Day, which is our community’s big back to school event. I would like to send a Care Portal request for school supplies. Any school supplies will be appreciated! I have attached last year’s supply list for one of the elementary/middle schools. Some of our biggest requests last year were:

Ear buds – for middle and high school Headphones – for elementary school Colored pencils Plastic folders of different colors Paper Composition notebooks Pencils Pencil Boxes Scissors Glue Sticks

Kid’s Day is July 29th, so we would need these items by July 28th at the latest. Thank you!

Please reach out if you need and extensive list.

Hi all! I have a single mother who is working hard to provide a stable household for her and her two children. Recently, she has moved into a home that was in need of lawncare maintenance but her push mower was stolen from her property. She has also been working to renovate the home due to some structural issues. Without her push mower the lawn has become a bit unmanageable and she is using her extra funds to ensure that the home is stable enough to live in. The momma could benefit from some help making her yard manageable and a push mower of her own to keep the grass cut. Thank you!

Hi all, there is a family that is in need of a large dumpster rental for a few days of service. The family is needing to get rid of some unwanted trash and clutter that was left in and outside the home that they have inherited. There are severe safety concerns with the amount of trash that was left at the home. The family was left homeless for awhile before a close relative decided to give them this home and not taking care of the situation leaves the children at risk for harm, especially the small children. The family's home is within county limits and there are just a few options for dumpster delivery, both options available are for a 7 day loan with 2 ton minimum. The estimated value listed is the quote from Budget Dumpster. Thank you!

The children were placed with their grandparents in March 2025. The family didn't anticipate the demand this would place of the family budget and is struggling to pay for all the children's expenses and maintain the normal household monthly expenses. The family is asking for a one-time mortgage payment which will allow them to reallocate money in the household budget to smaller expenses related to the children such as food, shoes, summer activities, etc. They also welcome even a portion of this payment as any little bit will go a long way for the family.

help reunify 2 children with their bio-parents this summer.

They are in need of professional exterminating for roaches.
