Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A disabled veteran and newly single father of 4 school-aged children is in urgent need of assistance to pay his water bill. He is facing significant financial hardship but is doing everything he can to keep food on the table and maintain stable housing for his family. He currently cannot cover his $312 water bill, which is due by Thursday, May 15. Any support would make a huge difference for this family of 5.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hello, we have a special request on behalf of a young family in our community. Their baby is struggling with weight gain, and after trying multiple feeding strategies, they’ve been advised to use a specific formula that’s both expensive and hard to find: Enfamil EnfaCare Infant Formula Powder, 13.6 oz.

These young parents have been tirelessly caring for their baby, sticking to a strict feeding schedule and doing everything they can to help her grow. Recently, the father broke his leg and is now waiting for surgery. He was the only income provider and has been unable to work, putting their housing situation at risk.

After previously experiencing homelessness while the mother was pregnant, they’ve worked hard to get into a place of their own. Now, with this unexpected setback, they’re facing real challenges again — despite how much they’ve tried to stay on their feet.

They’re active in our community events and always show up with kind hearts and a willingness to connect. We’re asking if any churches or community partners may have access to Enfamil EnfaCare 13.6 oz formula, or if there’s any rental assistance available to help them during this difficult time.

Thank you so much for your continued care and support for families like this one. ❤️

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A 1 year old was recently removed from the biological family in Johnson City, TN and placed in a DCS foster home in Rogersville, TN. The parents are struggling financially and cannot afford the gas to visit with the child. The mother is undocumented and unable to work, therefore only the father works. The first visit is scheduled for 5/16/25 and the visitation schedule is bi-weekly. DCS is requesting assistance with a gas card for the family for at least the first 2 visits.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of my family. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. I know that this is a temporary situation because I will be back in the workforce as soon as we get the support we need to get going. My story is long, but I will make it as concise as possible. When I got married to my wife, she had a boy, whom I love dearly. He is on the autism spectrum. I bring him up because everything that is going on is hardest on him. I had a job selling cars, and I made many sales, but what was promised was not paid. I lost several months giving my all to a job that did not cover my bills. I got a new job driving a school bus. At that time, we were living in my father’s house. That’s when the twins arrived. This was too much for him. He was always in a bad mood. His temper always got the better of him. We were afraid for the babies. M and J were afraid to be there when I wasn’t there, and I was afraid for them. One night he just cam in to the room screaming at my wife saying what s going on since the babies were crying and Meghan was getting frustrated with the babies he seemed like he was ready to hit one of us how angry he seemed .at the the time we were holding the babies I had to make a hard decision to keep my family safe cause it would of just gotten worse. We left to stay at a friend’s house, where we are now....but we have to leave very soon. Now we have no income and no savings. Thank you again for listening and all of your help.
