Request: #241218 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Franklin • State: Tennessee • Zip Code: 37064 • County: Williamson • Submitted By: Jonathan's Path

Story

15 Children

This coming Sunday evening, Jonathan’s Path hosts a family-style dinner for youth in foster care or those who have recently aged out. It’s not just a meal — it’s a lifeline. These dinners give our youth a safe, welcoming space to be seen, heard, and connected. It's often over a plate of food that we discover who’s struggling with transportation to work, therapy and more, who hasn't had a hot meal in days, or who just needs someone to talk to or a hug.

This Sunday, we’re expecting 25 young people — and we need to raise $700 to cover transportation so they can get there. Most don’t have cars, many live across the Nashville, Murfreesboro, Lebanon, Antioch, etc,

Would you consider covering this week’s need? Your support will directly help us: -Get all 25 youth safely to and from the dinner -Ensure they enjoy a warm, home-cooked meal -Create space for healing, connection, and honest conversation -Uncover real needs we can help meet during the week ahead

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This family includes four children ranging in age from newborn, 1 year old, 8 years old and 9 years old. While the baby has a crib to sleep in, the parents and other 3 children sleep on an old queen size mattress on the floor. They have a bunk bed frame for the two older children, but no mattresses. The family is experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to purchase the mattresses themselves.

We are requesting 2 new twin size mattresses, as well as bedding for the beds (sheets, pillows and blankets), and face/body towels.

Adequate sleeping arrangements and proper sleep are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Filling this request will help improve the children's safety and well being and reduce stress and anxiety on the whole family.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

KINSHIP. A caregiver currently undergoing the Resource Family Approval (RFA) process needs assistance with purchasing a refrigerator for the home. The caregiver has two children of her own and is preparing to take in four additional children. Currently, she is not receiving any financial support for the children. Assistance with securing a refrigerator would help ease the financial burden and allow the family to have this essential appliance. This will also ensure a safe and stable home for the children. Currently, the kin caregiver receives financial support from the government. She is currently receiving cash aid and Cal Fresh. The caregiver is committed to providing both financial and emotional support for the children by utilizing available community resources and continuing to receive assistance through cash aid. As this is her first time serving as a caregiver—especially to four children—she simply needs a helping hand to get started. Once she obtains the refrigerator, she will be able to redirect her limited resources toward other essential needs, including food and clothing for the children.
