I am working with a family that consists of two great grandparents and their three small great grandchildren. The parents of the great grandchildren live in a different county and are currently not employed. The great grandparents are on a fixed income and could use some assistance with diapers and wipes for the three children. The children's ages are 1, 2, and 3.

A family member has taken in her 8-month-old cousin due to her parents being incarcerated at the time. As of now, the mother was released, but her whereabouts are unknown, and the father is still incarcerated. The family member is requesting assistance in obtaining diapers (size 4) and wipes. She is also asking for assistance in getting formula for the baby, as she requires a special kind (Enfamil A.R. with added rice).

The family currently relies on family, friends and bus transit to get around. This can be very taxing for a family of 4. The reinstatement fees total $576, this assistance will give mom a good start to having reliable transportation again.

DCS Worker is requesting assistance for a bio family from Middle TN. Their child is placed in East TN over 6 hours away from home. The family is working towards reunification and is currently doing week passes with their child to help prove his stability in the community. They are driving to pick him up and bring him home every other week. The father is the sole provider in the home as mother's health concerns have impacted her ability to work. The family's vehicle is in need or repairs: remove and replace shock absorbar (rear), remove and replace strut (front), remove and replace transmission pan gasket, and wheel alignment. The Department has continued to try to assist the family with gas cards but the family's financial burden outweighs what's possible at this time. Case worker is requesting help with vehicle repairs to the family vehicle. DCS Worker has reached out for assistance from Mechanics on a Mission regarding car repairs and was told that they would need $500 to complete the car repairs! Car repairs will take place in the Franklin, TN area. DCS Worker is also requesting grocery gift cards for the family to utilize while traveling and when the child is home on pass.

The family consists of an adoptive mom, grandmother (85), and her two sons age 13 and 16. The family has lived in the same a 2-bedroom apartment for over 13 years. Both mom and children all struggle with autism and many other diagnoses. Over the years the home has collected trash and antiques that have not been clean properly and since then the home have roaches. The entire home has been infested with roaches and is need of a junk removal and deep cleaning. In the room one of the youth sleeps in is filled to the window seal with trash example pizza boxes, coke bottles, and different wrappers. The home is deemed unsafe for the children. The grandmother has adult protective services in the home, but APS have refused to come into the home due to the home having flees from the family allowing stary cats in the home. The mother has expressed due to the children having severe autism and behavioral problems she is not able to clean the home. The mother has said the home has years on trash in it and she is currently trying to get it clean since DCS is involved. DCS has implemented service in the home to assist with cleanliness of the home, but the service only does light cleaning. The family is in need of a deep cleaning and junk removal, so the kids are able to remain in the home since the family do not have any resources to get the home clean.

Resource Linkage is working with a Spanish speaking family is in need of assistance with groceries and possibly other resources. The family consists of a mother and her young daughter, the mother works but her hours have been cut back. The family is appreciative of any help, the mother does not speak English.

I am currently working with a family of six children and a mother. Their refrigerator recently broke causing all of their food to spoil. The family was able to get a new refrigerator, but the mother is not able to purchase more food at this time. The mother has gone to food banks to get food, but she was only given non-perishable items, and the family could really use some assistance in get perishable items. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The mother has four children age from 2-6 years old. The mother has moved to a new community due to her being in a domestic violence relationship. The mother has obtained an order of protection against the father; the children are included also. Due to the mother recent move, she doesn't have air in her home. She is now responsible for getting an air conditioner and she has to provide her own air conditioner. The home consists of three bedrooms the two-year-old toddler doesn't have her own bed. The mother doesn't have a sofa. The mother has a job she is not able to work due to her being off work for the summer.

This family is in urgent need of a bed. Ms. Lopez, a devoted mother, is currently facing significant challenges, including struggles with depression and anxiety. At present, her two children—both of whom have special needs, including autism and a heart condition—are sharing a single bed. Despite her efforts to seek help from various community organizations, Ms. Lopez has not yet been able to secure the necessary support. The family lacks adequate sleeping arrangements, and this has created an unsafe and uncomfortable living situation. A new bed would greatly improve the family’s quality of life, offering a safe and reliable place to rest and recharge. Your support would make a meaningful difference in their daily well-being and stability.

AGAPE works with a sibling group that recently returned to the custody of their mother. Their mother is working a job as well as continuing to complete treatment services in the community. Mother has limited financial resources and would like to find something fun for the family to do together this summer. A family pass to Nashville Shores would be a blessing to this family.

The youth entered foster care for a week and then his aunt and grandmother was given temporary split custody. The grandmother dropped the youth to his aunt and never went back to pick him up. The aunt recently was in a car accident and is in need of some financial assistance to pay her lightbill and also in need of transportation ( a buss pass for the month).
