Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This family is in need of at least one, preferably 2, window air conditioning units. Their home does not have central AC and with the rising summer temperatures, it is becoming a hazard for the children. One of the children has asthma and the high temps are hard on his body. The family has tried reaching out to other community resources with no luck.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

My client is a mom of 3 and is trying desparately to find a job. She has some benefits to help her provide food and insurance for her children, but outside of that she is not able to provide other needs. Her 9 month old is starting to want to use his legs more and more. Mom is needing some type of baby walker or bounce swing she can use to have him begin strengthening his legs and development. Baby bouncer example for the space they have- Go To Link

She is also in need of 4T Summer clothing for her daughter. I was able to help with clothing for the boys, but we were low on items for little girl sizes.

Lastly, she has a small space, but would love some type of kids table to have her kids have a routine of sitting for meals not in front of the TV. Her two oldest are starting to get ready for school and she would love to have a space for them to do development and learning activities.

Kid's Table Example: Go To Link

Donations of these items (gently used) would be amazing! Anything related to these resources will be a big help for mom!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

My client lives in an upstairs 2 bedroom duplex with her 4 children. She recently aquired 50/50 custody of her other two children a couple of months ago. She is excited to have them as part of her home, but it has made things more crowded. She is hoping to find a new place to live late fall when her lease is up, but in the meantime she is doing what she can to provide space for all of her kids. With Summer officially heating up, she is desparate. Her unit is small and lacks airflow. She has no fans or AC Unit to help give them some relief with the heat and humidity. She recently left her job and is working with me to access a resource called Hope Gains to help her find a new job that will work with her mental health needs. But in the meantime, she has no form of income. She is getting foodstamps and is hopeful she can find a new job soon.

With that being said, it would be super helpful to try and get some fans for her home. She would need a total of 3 box fans that are gently used or even new if possible. However, if a couple of used A.C. window Units are available she would love to be able to utilize this as it would be the most effective.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am writing on behalf of a family who receives services from our food pantry and is currently in need of a window air conditioner unit.

The family lives in a duplex with their two-year-old child, and the mother is 22 weeks pregnant. As temperatures have continued to rise, traditional window fans are no longer providing sufficient relief—especially for the young child and expectant mother.

To ensure their health and well-being during this extreme heat, they are kindly requesting assistance in obtaining a window air conditioning unit. Link provided

Hey BC fam! We have a foster family in our church that has welcomed newborn twins into their home and is in urgent need of formula support. The babies consume one $40 can per day. The family is asking for $1,200 over the next 4 weeks as WIC will cover the cost after that. Your generosity will help provide essential nourishment during this critical time. Thank you for loving our families well and we know you will continue to do so. The family is grateful for anything!!!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Single mom with two children facing eviction if she doesn't get help with her rent. Children out of school, and challenges with child care, caused her to miss work. She only has half of her rent. She needs to help with $600 which is the the other half of the rent and late charges. The children will be going to summer camp in July allowing mom to get back to her normal working hours.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Hey team, we have a family in our church that serves as a foster family. The birth mom for the child is in need of a convertible car seat so they can have the child for visitation. This would meet a huge need for this mom and child and serve the foster family as well. If you happen to have one in good condition that you could give her that is great or here is an option if you would be available and willing to purchase one. You can just get it to me and I'll make sure the foster family gets it. Thanks so much team.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

A single mom with an 8-month-old is living with her mother and does not have a bed for herself. She needs a full or queen-size bed (frame, mattress, and box springs) plus bedding. A small floor fan (not a ceiling fan) is also needed for the bedroom. This mom is part of the Napier community that Harpeth Hills serves.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

Newly arrived Special Immigrant Visa holder family of 7 who fled from Afghanistan (US allies) is needing a bunkbed for 4 daughters to settle into a single bedroom in their 2 BR-1BA apartment this week.

Unfortunately, due to limited space in bedroom (needing to fit 2 sets of bunk beds), twin bunk beds will fit better than full bunk beds, so probably not flexible on that aspect of this request.

Depending on the bunk bed frame that you donate, we may or may not need box springs, so I didn't add those explicitly to this request.

Thanks!
