Story

1 Child

We are requesting a 24-inch bicycle with training wheels for a bright and resilient 7-year-old boy in foster care. He has been through a lot in his young life but continues to show a strong desire to learn and grow. This summer, he’s working hard to adjust to a new foster home and is eager to join his foster brothers in outdoor play and bike rides. Although he’s just learning to ride, he’s a quick learner and full of determination. A bike of his own would not only help him build confidence and coordination, but also allow him to feel included, supported, and free. Your support would mean the world to him during this important time of transition and growth.

He would love a bike in any “boy” color—he’s not picky and just excited about the chance to ride. Due to his history of head injuries, a properly fitting helmet is especially important. I’ll be visiting him today to measure his head to ensure he receives a helmet that fits safely and comfortably.

Providing this bike and helmet will not only support his physical development and coordination but also help him build confidence, joy, and connection in his new home.

Good afternoon. I want to confirm that you need a 24" bike. That is a big size for a 7 year old boy and while it is possible to find training wheels for this size bike, they are not readily available. Thank you!

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

This mom recently left her abusive partner. She is rebuilding her life with the help of her family members, but money is very tight right now. Her young son has autism and is non-verbal, and right now they are struggling with safe driving. Kiddo will unbuckle himself when driving in the car but is too big for a generic car seat. Mom is looking for a "special needs" car seat, but they are very expensive, and she can't currently afford one. Right now, she has to pull the car over every few minutes to re-buckle him into his seat on their way to school which takes time and is dangerous. It would greatly relieve a very specific stress while mom works to find supportive housing and re-settles into her new life. Below are links of car seats that would work for this family.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Request: Summer Shorts for 8-Year-Old Girl

A local family is caring for three children with very high-level emotional and behavioral needs. While navigating those daily challenges, they are also facing some difficult family health issues—making this a particularly heavy season for the caregivers.

One of the children, an 8-year-old girl, is in need of some summer shorts. She typically wears a size 7/8 (which are currently snug) or a 10/12 (which are slightly big), so stretchy styles or adjustable waistbands would be ideal. She loves all colors and has a very girly style—anything fun, bright, or floral would make her smile!

Meeting this small but meaningful need would be such a blessing to this family as they continue to pour themselves into the hard work of healing and stability. Thank you for considering how you might help meet a practical need during a very overwhelming time.

Sizes Needed: Girls 8–10 (stretchy or adjustable waistband preferred)

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!
