A grandmother raising her grandchild needs a twin bed and a mattress for the child. The current bed broke, and the family has limited funds to replace it.

We have been working with a mom that has 3 children - a daughter that is 4 years old and twin boys, age 2. She is enrolled in our Parent Support program and is in need of two convertible carseats for the twin boys. This family lives in Lebanon and they speak Spanish. This mom has been committed to our program for 8 months and is working hard to provide for all of her children's needs.

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.

We have had a single woman take in two sweet little boys and she needs a little help. She is doing everything she can but any help would be a blessing. She is asking for help with Pull-ups, Diapers, and summer clothing. Pull-ups: Size 4/5T Diapers: Size 4 Summer Clothing: Sizes 4T and 2

Parents of five are need of transportation assistance to get to family time at the DHS office, which is difficult from their location on the bus. An Uber or Lyft card would support them to see their children.

One of our members has a washer and dryer to donate. A newly arrived refugee family with a disabled child is in great need of these donated units. We are looking for help from our church to pick up and deliver the washer and dryer. A pick up truck is needed, also volunteers to load, unload and install.

I met a young single mom, yesterday who is facing homelessness. She and her 12 year old daughter currently live in an apartment with her mother and are being evicted on Sunday evening. The grandmother has a place to go but this mom and her 12 year old do not. She is on a list to move in to housing in 4-7 days. She hopes to get a job in the Ruckersville area within walking distance of Food Lion.
GRACE can likely help her with first months rent when she gets in, but cannot help her with both first months rent and a hotel stay until the apartment becomes available. We are seeking nights at a hotel or an available room where she and her daughter can stay until getting the apartment. Please reach out if you can help with this. If different churches pay each church needs to make a different reservation which would be difficult. Current rate is around $140 a night. Let me know how many nights you could cover for her and I will start a reservation with that many nights and ask that you either send funds through GRACE or stop in the hotel and pay cash towards the reservation.

April showers bring May flowers! We’re sowing seeds of hope within the foster care community, connecting with kind and compassionate individuals to help us find safe and affordable housing for Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy. We’re praying for a harvest soon, as they must be fully moved out of their home by the end of June. Kennedy is preparing to graduate from high school in just a few weeks and is stepping into the next chapter of adulthood. Cameron has been thriving in New York; he's already received a glowing letter of praise from a client for being so helpful! Sherry recently started a new job assisting a senior during the day, and Kaya has been a big help in organizing, packing, and preparing for the upcoming move. If you know of anyone who might have a room available for the girls or for Sherry, please reach out. As always, we are deeply grateful for your continued support each month. Please select “Fund” when donating.
