This request is for a young mother currently experiencing financial hardship. The only source of income in the household is the birth father, who is working to support the family; however, the income is limited and not sufficient to cover all essential needs.

The mother is in need of the following basic items:

Baby clothing – Size 3–6 months, appropriate for the summer season

Diapers – Size 2

Hygiene supplies, including:

Shampoo

Toothbrush

Deodorant

Soap

Laundry detergent – For washing clothes for both the mother and the baby

Any assistance with these items would greatly support the family during this challenging time and help ensure the baby's needs are adequately met.

This is an IPA placement for a newborn infant (approximately 7 weeks old) who was removed from the biological mother due to substance use during pregnancy. The child was placed with her maternal grandmother, who had to stop working temporarily in order to provide full-time care. The infant will begin daycare next week, which will allow her to return to work and begin receiving income again. She anticipates being able to cover her monthly expenses starting next month. However, at this time, she is struggling to pay rent and utility bills for the current month due to her inability to work while providing care for the newborn. The caregiver has full custody of two other children, increasing her financial responsibilities. The caregiver is in need of temporary financial assistance to help cover rent and utilities for this month only. This is a one-time request to help stabilize the home and support the caregiver in maintaining the placement until she resumes work and income.

Hello Care Portal Community and Supporters! I have a family that has run into a difficult situation. A father and mother have recently started new jobs and their first paychecks were held. This came right as rent is due and now there are late fees attached and rent plus the late fees must be paid within 3 days before the family runs into an issue of evictions process starting. The family cannot pay rent until they get their checks and they are not sure when that will be. The family does not plan on this happening again as it was a circumstance of starting their new jobs and those checks being held that they needed for rent. Would anyone be willing to help this family with rent this month?

The family has a child whose bed had to be thrown out due to bed bugs. This request is to assist the child with having a more accommodable living environment. The child currently sleeps on the floor with a blanket. The child is a part of a family of 5.

This coming Sunday evening, Jonathan’s Path hosts a family-style dinner for youth in foster care or those who have recently aged out. It’s not just a meal — it’s a lifeline. These dinners give our youth a safe, welcoming space to be seen, heard, and connected. It's often over a plate of food that we discover who’s struggling with transportation to work, therapy and more, who hasn't had a hot meal in days, or who just needs someone to talk to or a hug.

This Sunday, we’re expecting 25 young people — and we need to raise $700 to cover transportation so they can get there. Most don’t have cars, many live across the Nashville, Murfreesboro, Lebanon, Antioch, etc,

Would you consider covering this week’s need? Your support will directly help us: -Get all 25 youth safely to and from the dinner -Ensure they enjoy a warm, home-cooked meal -Create space for healing, connection, and honest conversation -Uncover real needs we can help meet during the week ahead

I Am Next is a nonprofit that works with youth who have aged out of foster care in the Middle TN area. One of our young moms (who was in the system herself) is pregnant with her second child and is due by the end of this month. She is in need of clothes for herself, even though she is about at the end of her pregnancy. She is needing some size medium maternity clothes. I am sure she will use these postpartum as well. Gently used, donated clothes work--does not have to be brand new. I will provide her address to send/deliver to her directly. Thank you so much!
