DCS is working with a mother with a 9 year old daughter in Tullahoma, that are in need of a bus ticket to Virginia. She left her husband a month or so ago, due to emotional abuse toward her and her daughter. She and her daughter have been living from one place to another and are about to be homeless. She has no family in Tullahoma, and is originally from Virginia and has only been in Tullahoma for about a year. She desperately wants to return to Charlottesville, Virginia where she has family support but has no transportation to get there. I would like to see if we could ask for a bus ticket to get her and her daughter where they would have family support and she states that she would have a place to live when she got there. Because she is currently without housing she want to leave ASAP. Thanks for getting this family in a better place.

DCS and a local non-profit are working with a family on a kinship placement. There are 3 girls in the home (5, 7 and 10).

Please help these kids stay together.

DCS is working with a grandma on a kinship placement for her 4 grandkids. She has most of the items but is in need of a toddler bed for the 2 yr old. Having the toddler bed will help the family all stay together and have a safe space to sleep for all of them.

We have a LEAD Cameron Family that is needing support with this month rent. Work has been slow for the primary income earner in the household and they have had to use the money they have collected for food and household items. The other guardian was able to pick up work to also earn some income but just started this week and therefore will have to wait for a paycheck. It would be greatly appreciated to anyone who can provide towards the goal amount for this family as their landlord has been threading them with eviction. We are hoping to support this family to prevent homelessness as we know that it can impact greatly the lives of our student and his siblings. Thank you to everyone in advance for the support shown to our families.

There is a need for one of our sweet moms who is 7 months pregnant. We met her when she was 12 weeks pregnant and seeking an abortion. OSL has been walking closely with her since her choice for life, and helping her meet her basic needs as she grows into the best mom she can be. Unfortunately, she does not have her own transportation and depends on Lyft to get around. She was recently put on bed rest because of medical issues and cannot work, so consequently it is harder for her to meet her monthly bills. We are seeking help by providing Lyft funding to help her get to doctor appointments.

We are asking for help for a mom who at one time thought abortion was the answer to her problems. After choosing life, we have been helping her through some challenges she was facing in life. We are happy to say she was doing amazingly well and then got into a car accident with the three children in the car. Between the accident, not having a vehicle, and needing to take her children to doctor appointments, she has lost time (and money) at work and is now struggling to make all next months bills. If we can get help for her October rent payment, she could breath easier and meet her other obligations. Thank you for helping us meet her needs.
