She is needing a cube organizer storage unit that comes with several cubby bins for extra storage. She found one that is about $55 on Target's website if anyone would like to purchase this for her or if they had something similar to donate. Thank you so much!

The mother lost a job and got behind with her utility payment. She is currently working a new job but does not make enough money to pay the past due bill and keep up with the current bill. I have a copy of the client's bill. Once the past due bill is paid, the mother will be able to make all current payments.

I Am Next is a Middle TN based nonprofit that works with youth who have aged out of foster care. We have a young adult who is a mom to two littles--a 5 month old and a 1.5 year old. She is in desperate need of some items for these kids. The 5 month old was recently discharged from the hospital and is needing a specific formula for her stomach. The mom had a scare with possibly losing the children recently, so we are hoping that by providing her with these items for her children, it will help set her up to be more successful in taking care of them and keeping their family together.

Her 5 month old daughter needs size 1 diapers, Similar Neosure (has a yellow label) formula, and onesies size 0-3 months.

The 1.5 year old boy needs toddler cups, pull ups size 3/4T, and toddler/baby snacks.

The diapers and formula are a must have as soon as possible. Delivery to her apartment complex that she is located at is ideal. Thank you all so much for your support.
