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.

The legal guardian of the child is requesting support due to financial hardship. The guardian’s only source of income is a disability check, and she is currently unable to afford the following essential items:

A new refrigerator – The current refrigerator in the home is broken and not functioning.

School uniforms for the child, including:

Polo shirts (size 8, any color)

Skirts and pants (size 8)

Any assistance or referrals to community resources that could help meet these needs would be greatly appreciated.

The child is needing Similac Advanced formula. The biological parents have not been in contact and the placement option is needing formula for the baby.

The child is at high risk of being placed in custody. The caregiver is trying to provide the child with therapeutic services to address violent, destructive behaviors. The caregiver has reported a financial need for bus passes for herself and the child so they may take the bus to therapeutic services. The cost is an estimate for the two full calendar month local bus tickets. The passes will be utilized to attend therapeutic sessions to address the conflict in order to keep the child in the home.

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?

A mother is requesting assistance in getting a bed frame. She and her 2 children recently moved to Nashville from Lawrenceburg. Currently, she isn't working due to a lack of childcare, but once childcare is available, she will have a job.

On 07/03/25 a home visit was completed on the family. The children have been sleeping on used mattresses that were given to them that are dirty/stained. The mother shared that she's been allowing some friends to stay in the home and the friend urinated on the child's mattress. The mother has two young boys and one five month old baby girl that doesn't have a pack and play and has been co-sleeping with the mother. Both parents are working but struggling to make ends meet in addition to needing some help with beds and other items.
