Request: #229179 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Nashville • State: Tennessee • Zip Code: 37207 • County: Davidson • Submitted By: Communities in Schools of TN (Jere Baxter Middle School) • Lead Church: Bellevue Church of Christ

Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

I work with an awesome family who is experiencing some financial hardship and recently had to move in with a friend because they are now experiencing homelessness. The mother was doing a great job getting her kids to school but now also has car trouble. I am working on getting the family set up with the school HERO program to help with transportation, but it typically takes two weeks. I'd love to give the mother an uber gift card so the children can still get to school while we wait on the HERO's transportation. I appreciate the CarePortal community SOO much!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Family was recently homeless, living in a hotel and now have moved into a trailer in Sheridan, IN. The youth is in need of a full size mattress and box spring so that he has a bed and proper place to sleep at night. Mother said that they do not need the frame but would be grateful so youth will get a restful nights sleep on a new mattress and box spring. This youth would also need bedding for this bed - comforter, sheets, pillows, etc. He is a 10 year old boy. Thank you!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Dear Reader, I am writing to respectfully request financial assistance for the burial of a Grandmother, who passed away on 5/11/2025. As you can imagine, this is a challenging time for her family, especially for her grandchildren she provided care for. The family is both dealing with the emotional and financial fall out due to her passing. The Grandmother’s greatest joys were her family and her role as a loving mother and grandmother. She recently devoted herself to caring for her five beloved grandchildren, exemplifying her nurturing spirit and deep love for her family. Like anything unexpected, the family was not prepared to have to bury a beloved family member, their grandmother was their sole caretaker and was their adoptive resource. Their maternal aunt has stepped up to take them in so they can stay with family and not go into a foster home. They are trying to gather as many resources to offset the cost of the funeral and need as much help as possible. We are immensely grateful for any support you can provide during this difficult time. Your help will not only ease our financial burden but also allow us to help honor their grandmother’s memory in a fitting manner. Thank you very much for considering our request. Please feel free to contact the case team at(###) ###-#### or(###) ###-####; ******@email.com or ******@email.com if you have any questions or require further information. With heartfelt thanks, Shannon Weese TFI Permanency Support Worker

Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

Good morning, friends. I have been made aware of a young woman who is 7 1/2 months into a high-risk pregnancy, who has a connection with someone in our church. Part of what she is struggling with is that one of the twins she is carrying passed away quite early in the pregnancy. She has also been in and out of the hospital with various infections, but the baby is fine. She had to quit her job so she has no income and is also not physically able to get out to purchase what she needs. She is being supported emotionally by the baby's father and her parents, but they do not have the means to equip a nursery. If you have ANY baby items taking up space that you would be willing to part with or can help provide any of the items listed, it would be so encouraging and greatly appreciated by them all. She is having a girl and they do have some clothes. I do not expect all of these items to be provided, but I am just throwing out ideas. Thank you so much!
