Single mother of 5 is in emergent need of one night hotel stay, DCS is assisting the family with hotel lodging extension but it is the end of the day with limited access to fiscal. The family will be able to stay in a hotel with more accommodations that is more like a small apartment which will make it feel more like home while they are seeking housing. Any help is appreciated.

The family is needing 3 beds for children placed in a immediate protection agreement. The ages of the children are 7 years old, 4 years old, and 2 years old.

The children are currently staying with friends of the family who are needing assistance with diapers/pull-ups, and wipes for a little girl and little boy. The little girl wears a size 4 in diapers, the little boy wears a 4t in pull-ups, and a pack of sensitive skin fragrance free wipes as the children struggle with eczema.

On 06/27/25 a home visit was completed on the family. The family resides in the home with their maternal grandmother who asked for assistance with finding a bunk bed for her two grandchildren (one girl, one boy). The children have a full size bed their currently sleeping on but feels separate beds are more appropriate for the children to sleep on as she feel the full size bed is too big for their sizes.

A foster family has recently accepted a sibling group of 3 girls into their home. The children enjoy playing with other children in the neighborhood and are in need of 2 16 inch bicycles for the older 2 girls (ages 4 and 5). New or gently used is fine but we prefer something that is girly in color or design (like Minnie Mouse, Frozen, etc).

A mother (50 yrs) and her son (13 yrs) currently reside in a sober living housing program due to past substance use from mother. Mother has gone to rehab and completed her program which got them in this housing program. The program requires them to pay rent weekly ($250 every Sunday). Mother has missed last week's payment. Mother just recently started a job on Monday of this week and will not get paid for another 3 weeks. Mother has put in her efforts to find a stable job to meet financial needs for her and her son and the housing manager sees that, so they are giving her grace. Mother assures that her goal is to save up so she can find her own place for her and her son to live. Payments can be made electronically.

Hello Care Portal Family and Supports! I have a family who is needing help with getting a washer and dryer for their home. This is a young family with two kids of their own (4yrs old and 8 months old), one on the way, and a teenager who was in Custody that they took in when they didn't have to. This family is trying to get a washer and dryer so they can spend less time and money at the laundromat and more time at home raising their young children and the teenager they took in. This family is spending several hours a week at the laundromat due to the amount of clothes they go through with their family and not being able to save their money that they were trying to save for a washer and dryer after taking in the teenage boy. Would somebody be willing to help this family?

Help a Determined Young Woman Create Her First Home

At just 19 years old, this resilient young woman is stepping into a new chapter of her life. Having recently aged out of foster care, she’s worked tirelessly to maintain steady employment at a local childcare facility—a job she’s held with dedication for several years. Now, she’s preparing to take a big leap: moving out of government-subsidized housing and into her very first apartment, where she can finally experience the independence she’s been working so hard for.

While she’s overcome many obstacles to reach this point, she faces the challenge of moving into an unfurnished space. Without the resources to collect furniture over the years, her new home will be empty—missing the comforts and warmth that make a space truly feel like your own.

We would love to help her start this new chapter with dignity and pride by furnishing her living room. We are seeking donations of new or gently used items such as a: -Sofa/LoveSeat -coffee table -TV/ TV stand -Floor Lamp

(Decorative items are also welcome and will be considered based on available space.)

Ideally, donated items can be delivered directly to her new home, and we’re happy to assist with coordinating logistics. Let’s help her step into adulthood not just with four walls, but with a place she can truly call home.

We have a family with a 4-year-old child with autism. This kiddo needs an AAC communication device to continue their efforts of communicating. The family is low income and unable to access this device independently. The child's speech therapist requested that the family obtain this device. TN care denied coverage for the device. Any and all assistance with this item is greatly appreciated.
