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

Resource Linkage is working with a mother of 2, recently separated and trying to make ends meet. Careportal assisted the family by paying her back rent owed and the mother caught up her other bills with money saved, she is asking for assistance with groceries before her case is closed. She and her children have been visiting local food banks to supplement before her next paycheck. Any help is appreciated.

The mother is currently not working due to being out of school for the summer. The mother works as an aid at the local middle school. She is not receiving food stamps due to her not turning in the appropriate paperwork. The mother has been donating plasma to help get some income. The family currently does not have much food in the home. There are three children residing there.

A young person who recently aged out of foster care is moving into their first apartment and is in need of a dresser. They're working to set up a stable, functional living space and have their heart set on a dresser they really like and will fit the dimensions of their room set at the price stated. We could really use help with this basic piece of furniture to make the space feel like her own.

Their is a family that is in need of a couch in order to have 2 children to return to their home. It's one of the ask that they have left as other support for the family has been provided. The oldest was born in foster care so for Eli's Law the newborn was placed into foster care. After a joint home visit, the family didn't have a couch, so the children weren't able to return home. They are set for an additional home visit at the end of the month and if the couch isn't in the home the children won't be able to return. The family is so close to having everything they need such as food, a crib, and a couch would be hard for them to purchase quickly. Anything can help.

A mother is requesting assistance in getting a bed frame. She and her 2 children recently moved to Nashville from Lawrenceburg. Currently, she isn't working due to a lack of childcare, but once childcare is available, she will have a job.

There are three children under 5 living in the home. There is one source of income coming into the home from the father's job. The mother is unable to work because the children need to go to the behavioral doctor regularly, one of the children is diagnosed with autism. The family live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to get items that will help the wellbeing of the children. The home has some environmental concerns and would benefit from safety latches, as well as cleaning supplies. The children are learning to be potty-trained but would benefit from a porta-potty. The home has one air conditioner, and it is hot outside. Anything that the family could receive would be helpful, whether is food or items that are material. The child with autism would benefit greatly from Baby Safety headphones. This request being fulfilled would help strengthen the safety and wellbeing of the children.

Mother and father have 4 small children, ages 7,4,2, and 8 months old. Mother and father moved here from out of state and have no family support. Mother recently lost her job due to having to stay home with all of the children. The only income that is coming in from the father which barely covers costs of living and essentials for the children. The family is at risk of being evicted on July 15th. Any assistants will be helpful.
