Story

•
6 Children 1 Adult

Dear Carportal families, I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to reach out about a family from our Lead Southeast campus who is currently facing significant challenges due to the recent ICE incidents here in Nashville. This family has experienced job loss stemming from their fear of returning home, which has put a strain on their finances and made it difficult to meet even the most basic needs. In light of their situation, we are seeking your support and compassion. Any assistance you can provide would mean the world to them during this difficult time. Thank you for being a caring community.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Request for Bedding and Household Support A single mother of five children is working hard to provide for her family while facing significant financial challenges. She is trying to create a safe and stable home environment for her children as she prepares for their return to her care. The children include two older kids, ages 10 and 11, and three children under the age of five. The family is in urgent need of the following items to support a hazard-free and nurturing home: • Bunk beds or individual small beds for the older children • A toddler bed (for a 1.5-year-old & the three year old) • A crib (for an infant) • Basic home furnishings (any available support in this area would be deeply appreciated)

Currently, the children’s beds are broken and unusable, and the home lacks essential furniture. Providing these items would significantly improve the children’s quality of life, safety, and comfort.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

We’re rallying support for a courageous single mom who is just one step away from a fresh start. After a year of sobriety and working full-time to build a better life for herself and her child, she’s finally been approved for her very first apartment. It’s a huge milestone — and it’s almost move-in ready.

In this final stretch, she just needs one more week of temporary shelter at the Red Roof Inn before she can move in. We're hoping to cover this short stay so she doesn't have to dip into the savings she’s worked so hard to build — savings that she’ll need to furnish her new home and support her family in this next chapter.

Any help — even a partial contribution — would mean the world. Let’s help make this transition a little easier and show her she’s not alone on this journey.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am writing on behalf of a family of two who are currently in urgent need of basic household essentials to support their well-being and stability. At this time, the family is in dire need of a mattress and a dresser.Due to financial hardship, they are unable to secure these items on their own. A mattress is essential to ensure they have a safe and comfortable place to sleep, while a dresser is necessary to help them organize their limited belongings and maintain a sense of dignity in their living environment. Any assistance or support you can provide to help this family meet their basic needs would be deeply appreciated.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

This single father has taken in 5 additional children, ages 6-12, to care for them until they are able to return home to their parents. The caregiver is very open minded and appreciative of all the help he can get. His goal is to make sure the children are comfortable in his home, happy and have everything they need to make this a great placement for the sibling party. I'm requesting help with groceries to assist the family until we can get this home level 1 licensed.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

On June 26th, the Department of Children's Services and various local community partners are hosting the 2025 high school graduation celebration for youth impacted by the foster care system in Middle Tennessee. For many of these students, graduation is not a guaranteed milestone—yet this year, we are proud to celebrate approximately 100 graduates who have overcome significant challenges to walk the stage and receive their diplomas.

This event is more than a ceremony—it’s a moment of recognition, encouragement, and hope. To help make this day even more special, we are seeking door prizes to gift to these incredible young people. These prizes will serve as tokens of support and inspiration as they take their next steps into adulthood, whether that be college, vocational training, the workforce, or other life paths.

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!
