1 Child 1 Adult

An 18 year old boy is currently residing in a domestic violence shelter after leaving a difficult home life where he was being treated poorly. He does not have a support system other than the staff at the shelter who is helping him with life skills and getting on his feet. He is also engaged in services at Community Partnership and plans to participate in their Youthbuild Program. He is also working on securing part-time employment. He was recently placed in a rental assistance program and has been able to secure an apartment. He has nothing for his home. He is in need of a full size bed, bed frame, couch, dresser, etc.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

I am advocating on behalf of a maternal grandmother who has cared for her grandsons aged 12 and 7 (youngest is on the autism spectrum) since July of 2022. Grandmother received two citations due to a complaint from a neighbor regarding the condition of the exterior of her home. She was informed by a city inspector that the fees would be waived if the issue was resolved. However, grandmother was not granted a waiver even after she made the proper adjustments. Grandmother is on a fixed income, and unfortunately, is unable to pay fees. The caregiver provides all the kids' needs and receives a little help from her eldest son with rent when he is able. I am asking for $800 to help pay for both citations. Failure to pay them will result in increased fees and the risk of her losing her home. Assisting this family will relieve a great financial burden from the caregiver, allowing her room to continue providing a loving and stable home for her grandsons who have been through so much difficulty at such a young age.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Hi, I have a client that has been recently admitted to the hospital who has a 17yr old son who has an intellectual disability. He can stay in the hospital with his mom while she is there. The issue is the hospital will only provide one meal per day for her son and they are currently homeless and staying at pathways so they have no access to get him food while he is there. We are looking to see if we can get him some meal gifts cards so he can get food while he is there.

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!

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!
