Church at Station Hill

Family was kicked out of their home and have been staying in their car. Confirmed they slept in their car last night. Mother stated she has a meeting with the Family care center today but did not give a time. Family needs a hotel or motel to stay in for the child not to come into custody. Mother is trying to find somewhere for them to go. Quality Inn Columbia TN has a room available for $78 per night. Total for 4 nights is around $374. The family is needing a hotel from tonight and check out on Monday, 7/7/25. Any help is appreciated for this family to help prevent a custodial episode. Thank You!

Resource Linkage is working with a single mother of 4 children, ages 11, 5, 3 and 2. The mother just moved into a new house which has exhausted a lot of her funds. She does have a job so she should be able to pay moving forward. After speaking with the landlord, he is giving her until July 7th to pay her rent or he will start the eviction process. The rent is $1,650. The landlord will take a check or a money order. The mother is also needing 5 baby gates and clothes for the children. The 2 boys wear sizes 10/12 and 12/14 and the 2 girls wear sizes, 3T-4T and 2T-3T. She could also use size 2 in boys shoes for a 5 year old boy. Any help with this request is so greatly appreciated. The mother does not have any support around here to help her so she is trying her best to do it on her own.

The family has recently lost a 5-months-old newborn baby boy. The family is limited in the amount of the beds for 4 remaining children. Every child is in need of his/her own bed. The family lacks 1 twin size bed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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!

A mother is needing help paying her electric bill before 7/9 so it does not get shut off. Mother is a victim of domestic violence, dad is in jail and the one child was removed for bond conditions. The second child is at risk for being removed due to the bond conditions. There are no fees on the bill and this is a one time thing to help mom get back on her feet.

A mother in Lewisburg stays at home with her two children. They are living in income based housing and there is not much space in the home and they are needing a toy box to help store toys in. The family is also in need of a kitchen table so they can eat family dinners at the table and not on the couch. Mother would also like a mop to maintain the floors in the home. She is appreciative any assistance she is needing. She is working on getting her license back while working services with DCS.

Youth was removed from his mother's home due to unsafe conditions. Youth is diagnosed with Autism and placed with father currently. Father was working two jobs to support the child. Father's work hours have been decreased due to having to care for the youth.

Father has been self-sufficient until his hours decreased. Paperwork is in process for father to receive youth's monetary benefits and will solve the current monetary needs.

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 mother just received custody of her son again. She is a single mom and is trying to get back on her feet. She recently secured housing and employment but is struggling to make ends meet. She is in desperate need of a bed for her 13-year-old son as well as a washer and dryer.

A mother in Marshall County has three children: A son going into his senior year, two daughters, one going into 5th grade and the other into 3rd grade. The family lost their housing in April and have been living in a hotel. They have a 4 bedroom with the Housing Authority but the apartment is under maintenance and they are not able to move in. The family left several of their belongings behind due to not being able to keep it anywhere and are in need of beds and kitchen supplies to make the apartment a home. They are needing a bunkbed for the girl. One likes pink and purple Hello Kitty and the other likes pink and flowers. The son likes dark blue and red. He has a twin bed but will need a mattress. The mother is needing a full bed and likes dark solid colors. The family is also needing dressers and pots and pans. The family has been very hopeful while working with an agency to find housing and applying for disability. The family is anxious and very eager to move in and make the apartment a home and to have their own bedrooms. The family does not mind used furniture and would be thankful for anything that can be provided to them.

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).

After years of working on her sobriety and maintaining a sober lifestyle, a mother and son have the opportunity to reunify! The youth has worked his treatment plan and the mother has continued to maintain a healthy and positive lifestyle to provide for her child. Home passes are beginning this Friday (6/27), but the mother will be making the drive to & from East TN to make this happen. After a couple successful home passes, we will return to court to ask for a trial home visit to begin. Any help with gas would be greatly appreciated by this family.

I have added two requested for cards to this submission. One gas card will be needed for this weekend, June 27th. A second card will be needed for the weekend of July 11th.
