The mother was recently reunified with her 7 children. She is a single mom and has worked very hard to complete her case plan tasks, as well as balance working and being a mom to seven children so that she could be reunified. The mother recently moved into housing of her own, and the children need to attend a new daycare. The mother could use assistance with the upfront cost of registration fees for daycare for her four younger children. When the request is met, the four children will be able to start daycare and begin normalcy/routines post reunification

Child was recently placed in a kinship placement. Child is in need of a dresser and bedding to support her ability to remain in the home and have her needs met. Child would use the dresser for clothes that are unable to be hung. Child is a teenage female and does not have a particular style, just something that is age appropriate.

The participant and her family consist of parents and their 13 year old daughter. The family recently moved into their new unit and have been sleeping on the floor or on the couch of their apartment. They are are only receiving $650 in cash aid and her husband had to leave his job he had due to the move. The husband recently returned to school to achieve his GED and has been doing great and staying on task and focused, and has just started applying for jobs at nearby grocery stores. We would like to support this family's progress by assisting them in obtaining a bed for the daughter and a bed for the parents, with bed frames.

Two parents have recently move into a new home after not having a place of their own for several months. They are in need of assistance covering the deposit for their electric service at the new address. They were able to save for the deposit on the home itself, but now need $245 to start their electric service. With the new home, they will be able to begin overnight visits between them and their three children and start making quick progress towards reunification.

Help support a current foster home that has a baby who is crawling around. The placement has requested support for baby gates for an open room and the fire place in the home. They want to ensure that this child is able to move around the home safely and provide more security for the child. They will need one extended gate for the open space in the living room and two baby gates to have the fireplace enclosed and blocked off.

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 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 and 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.

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!

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!

Backpacks & BBQ is an annual outreach event hosted by Middletown Nazarene Church that brings together our church, community, and local partners to support students and families preparing for the school year. We provide free backpacks, serve a full cookout-style meal, and offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for children in need in our community.

Each summer, hundreds of neighbors come together at our church for this day of joy and generosity. Children leave ready to start school with confidence and dignity — and families leave knowing they are seen, supported, and loved.

As part of this event, we want to provide sanitary and hygiene products for the students, so they can go back to school with confidence.
