We are working with a local family that has adopted special needs child and are having a mold issue in their home. As a result they are being moved from rental to rental. This a great stress on the family to be out of their wheelchair accessible home. Due to the neighborhood requirements they still to maintain the yard during the months the home is uninhabitable. We would like to help them with their lawn care for 3 months, to allow them to focus on caring for their children, the extra attention needed for their special needs child , and getting back into their home. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Resource Linkage is assisting a foster family who suffered storm damage and were able to get an estimate of the damage of a fallen tree. The family has two sisters placed with them at this time and this would help relieve some financial responsibility. Any help is greatly appreciated.

AGAPE is currently working with a pregnant mother, and she needs assistance getting her driver's license. This cost will go towards the mother's use of the driving center's car to take her driving test. Any assistance will greatly bless this young mother to be.

A case manager is requesting support for two siblings—an 11-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy—who are currently in custody and residing with relatives in South Carolina. The children were previously living with their custodial aunt, who recently passed away. Following her death, they re-entered custody due to the absence of any local relatives able to take them in. Sadly, the case manager had to bring them back to Maury County on 5/6 to visit their mother, who is on life support, so they can say their final goodbyes. They will be returning them to their caregivers Friday 5/9 . While they have since been placed with extended family in South Carolina, the process of setting up financial support has taken longer than expected. The relatives caring for them have already covered significant upfront costs, including after-school care, school supplies, and school-related fees, and are now in need of additional assistance. The Family Service Worker (FSW) is requesting $200 for each child to help the family purchase appropriate clothing for the local weather and school requirements. Although the family has the means to continue caring for the children, this one-time assistance would help ease the financial burden until formal support payments begin in the coming weeks. We would love to have them lovingly cared for as they shop for their needs during such a difficult time. Social Worker can assist with shopping on Wednesday afternoon 5/7.

I Am Next is a Middle TN based nonprofit that works with youth who have aged out of foster care. We have a young mom who aged out of the system who has been in our program for awhile. She is currently on a housing voucher at the apartment complex we own. She has a 1.5 year old little boy and pregnant with another little boy due in August. She is in need of some maternity clothes as she outgrows her normal clothes. She also has mentioned needing clothes for both boys: sizes 18 months and newborn. She also could use a heating pad. Thank you for supporting this young adult and her boys!

I Am Next works with youth who have aged out of foster care. We recently had a young adult move into our apartment complex, which are all studio apartments and about 200 square feet. 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.

This request is regarding a single foster parent who fosters teen boys. She currently has 4 teen boys in the home. This foster parent is amazing with these teens and has been a faithful foster parent for the past 4 years. The teens refer to her as "Grandma." She goes above and beyond to serve children in need and is truly a blessing to everyone she interacts with.

Grandma's roof was recently damaged by storms, and she is having to get it replaced. She needs assistance with paying the deductible for this. She is on a fixed income and paying for this deductible herself would greatly impact the budget she is living off of to support her foster children.

I would also love to see some support for takeout gift cards for a couple of dinners. Having construction at your house can get very chaotic and not having to worry about dinner during this project would be a huge support.

Thank you so much for wrapping around this foster mom who is giving above and beyond to care for local youth! *** Update 05/08 *** Thanks to a refund from the insurance we only need $2,400 of the $5,000. So there is only $500 remaining. *** Update 05/08 *** This request is fully funded and the check is send to the Roofing Company
