Dear Carportal families, I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to reach out about a family from our Lead Southeast campus who is currently facing significant challenges due to the recent ICE incidents here in Nashville. This family has experienced job loss stemming from their fear of returning home, which has put a strain on their finances and made it difficult to meet even the most basic needs. In light of their situation, we are seeking your support and compassion. Any assistance you can provide would mean the world to them during this difficult time. Thank you for being a caring community.

A Mother needs assistance with groceries and summer clothes for her children after experiencing financial hardship.

Dear Careportal Family, I hope this message finds you well. I want to share a heartfelt story about a remarkable family from our Southeast Middle and High School Campus. Recently, a parent reached out to us after bravely leaving an abusive relationship, taking only the essentials they could carry. This family is at a turning point with the mother securing approval for an apartment, but they are currently staying with a friend and face the challenge of moving in without many belongings. Once they settle into their new home, they will have to make do with sleeping on the floor. We are reaching out to seek your support in providing some necessities for this family as they begin to rebuild their lives. Your kindness can offer them not only the essentials they need but also a sense of peace and a glimpse of a positive environment during this difficult time.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. It means the world to us and to this family in need.

Careportal recently assisted a single mother of 4 with getting her truck towed to Tire World in Lavergne to be inspected by Mechanics on a Mission for repairs. It was discovered the cost to repair is more than the vehicle is worth. This mother is in need of reliable transportation. She has not been able to work in the last several months due to a severe health episode with her oldest son. The situation is stable now but the back and forth to the hospital caused the vehicle to break down. Mechanics on a Mission would like to work with us to gift this mother a vehicle suitable for her family. It would be a great resource and allow the mother to return to work. The donation requirement to gift a vehicle through Mechanics on a Mission is $2500. We are asking for help in making the difference in this family's life and to set them up for success.
