Story

•
4 Children 2 Adults

Hi all! I am currently working with a grandmother who has had custody of her four grandchildren. When meeting with the family, she was telling me about her home catching fire about 2 years ago and how 5 areas of her home were salvageable enough to continue living there. They are a bit cramped in the areas they live in, but making it work. Recently they have been trying to arrange some of their furniture and personal items that was salvaged so that they can put walls up to make new rooms. I had also noticed during the visit that they had one small window A/C unit cooling the home, but it was barely cooling the rooms down. I asked the caregiver if she would feel comfortable with me submitting a request asking for some storage totes and a standing A/C unit, and she agreed. For the family, I am asking for 6 storage containers and a standing A/C unit. I have looked on Lowe’s for estimated prices/products for examples. (A/C unit: Item #4350808 Model #AP0722CW1W and Storage Containers: Item #44066 Model #44066).

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.

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!

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

We have a youth accepted to Georgia Gwinnett College starting in August. She will definitely need a laptop for school. Although her tuition should be covered by the state through the Independent Living Program (ILP), she will be living on campus and will have to pay her own dorm fees, ($400 per month). She will have a job on campus to try to cover those fees, but is also working now trying to save up for a car. She would greatly appreciate any and all help you could provide to set her up well to succeed at school. Please join us in praying for this youth!
