In order to reunify with her children mother will need a couch, kitchen and bathroom items, 3 dressers, 4 twin mattresses and bedding. Mother is actively working her plan to get her children back and would be blessed in a mighty way to receive this additional tangible support!

DCS has connected us with a single mom of eleven kids who recently worked the steps with DCS to get her kids reunified with her. She has had struggles to provide as a single parent, but is doing an amazing job. Very recently she was able to move into a home in Nashville, but there are some items she still needs to furnish the home. Many of the kids need new beds and they don't have any living room or dining room furniture. Let's wrap around and support this mom who is working hard to give her kids a better life and home environment.

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.

AGAPE has had contact with a 15 year old teen mom for the last nine months. On Sunday (9/10), her 9 month old baby tragically died and our teen mom re-entered foster care. We are hoping to provide her with a funeral for her baby and she is also hoping to have the baby buried in her home country, Guatemala. The estimated cost to have the baby buried out of the country is $10,000, with possible additional costs for the funeral hosted here in Tennessee. Please be in prayer for our sweet girl and those supporting her through her mourning the loss of her baby. Updated on September 20, 2023 by an Agency Worker
the funeral home is graciously covering the majorly of the cost for this baby’s funeral. at this time, AGAPE is needing to cover about $1,500 of the expenses.

DCS is requesting help supporting a foster placement in Maury County. The youth has expressed they need some physical outlet for his anger and it was recommended to get a punching bag and/or drum set for him. Both items will really help him express his anger issue in a positive way.
