A grandmother of one child (girl age 5 years old) is caring for her granddaughter. The grandmother is doing her best to make placement for her granddaughter as comfortable as possible. The grandmother shared that she is in need of some grocery assistance and clothing assistance for her granddaughter. Assisting with this would help the grandmother improve the wellbeing of her granddaughter while she stays with her.

A family member is providing a safety placement for seven children in order to prevent them from entering into the state custody. The caregiver is in urgent need of essential infant supplies to support the placement of the infant child.

Requested Items (Infant Only):

Baby swing Infant clothes Diapers (infant size 1) Baby wipes Baby bottles

These items are needed as soon as possible to help stabilize the placement and support the infant’s immediate needs.

A Mother is asking for a car seat to assist with barriers of getting kids to and from appointments. She has a three-year-old daughter and she is not able to purchase a car seat at this time. I know the value is $200 but it could be less than that at Walmart or through Amazon.

SUMMER PROGRAM ASSISTANCE NEEDED. Two young girls, ages 8 and 4, in need of assistance to attend a summer program starting June 2nd. The foster home does not receive financial assistance for this program. It is also the only program that truly works for their location and for the foster parent to make it to work timely. Any amount donated would be helpful. Girls are also soon to be adopted and are in the most loving home with a single foster mom. There are three young girls total, the last is still able to attend daycare. Amount can be paid directly to the summer program.

A mother needs assistance in paying her water bill for this month. Her hours at her job have declined however, she is seeking other job opportunities. Her bill total is 231.78, and it is due next week, 6/5/2025. Anything is appreciated.

Dear Careportal family, I hope this message finds you well. We have an urgent request from the Lead Southeast Middle family who need our support. A single mother is striving to care for her two young boys, but she is facing significant challenges in providing for them, especially as job opportunities become increasingly scarce. This mother is doing her best in a difficult situation and needs assistance with some necessities, particularly food. Offering help to this family would make a profound difference in their lives during this challenging time. Your kindness and generosity could truly alleviate some of the burdens they are facing. Thank you for considering lending a helping hand.

AGAPE serves a sibling group of four placed in two different AGAPE Foster Families. The foster family of the two older children were recently in a car accident taking the children to therapy. The driver that hit this family had no car insurance. The foster family is now responsible for all the repairs to their vehicle and have a high insurance copay to now pay. Any assistance towards these fees would benefit this family.

AGAPE serves a 16-year-old girl in foster care. She needs a new retainer for her mouth however her insurance doesn't cover the cost for orthodontics care. The foster family would benefit from any funds towards this pressure.

Hello! I am the Program Manager for I Am Next, the Nashville/Middle TN based nonprofit that works with youth who have aged out of foster care.

We are having more and more young adults more into our apartment complex we bought for our youth, which means the needs are constantly pouring in. We have several of the youth, girls in particular, that walk around wearing hardly anything. We will take donations of any size clothing (shirts/pants) and any size underwear. The financial amount/value is an estimate--clothes can be donated if gentle used. Thank you!!

Hello! I am the Program Manager for I Am Next, the Nashville/Middle TN based nonprofit that works with youth who have aged out of foster care.

We have a unique opportunity for the right church group! We have two young expecting moms due in August with their first babies--one a little boy and one a little girl. We would LOVE to have a church group come in and wrap support around these moms by hosting a combined baby shower for them including some decor, light refreshments, and gifts.

We have a small conference room available to have this shower on site at our apartment complex but we are open to it being at a church's building also--whatever is most convenient for everyone! It doesn't have to be anything super extravagant and can even be a come and go thing, but we would love for these two moms to feel supported and get any last baby items they need. We were thinking it would be good to have this sometime in June or early July as they are both due in August. We can be flexible on day and time of this event. If you and your church group would like to take lead on this, please let me know! We are flexible on all the details and would love someone to take the reins on creative freedom with this event! I wasn't sure what to put as the financial amount for this request, so it is just an estimate and not a hard number. Thank you.

We have a young mom who has two babies-1.5 year old and a 5 month old. She has a lot of needs and requires lots of support from us. She is needing a high chair and a small toddler bed (including mattress, bedding, and frame) for her 1.5 year old. She is in a studio apartment so she doesn't have much room. Thank you to whoever provides these for her!

Hello! I am the Program Manager for I Am Next, the Nashville/Middle TN based nonprofit that works with youth who have aged out of foster care. We have one young adult who is 19 and pregnant with her first child. She is one of our youth that is putting the most effort into her future. She is a current CNA, in nursing school, thinking about joining the military, and is expecting her first child at the beginning of August. She has requested some postpartum supplies to help her body physically recover. This is a list of things she sent me: postpartum pads, disposable postpartum underwear, ice packs, witch hazel pads, peri bottle, stool softeners, comfortable clothing, sitz bath, nursing bras, breast pads, and nipple care products. The $200 is an estimate; there could be a package out there on Amazon or somewhere that has a handful of this stuff in a bundle for cheaper.

If you would like to help with these items, I can provide you with her address to mail them to or deliver them to her door and meet her. She is going to be a great mom, and we really see the effort she is making to find sustainable independence.
