  • We’ve said it before… but we’ll keep saying until it’s 100% fulfilled. -> EVERY CHILD deserves to feel loved, valued and seen. In 2025, one of our goals is to be able to build more SAFE community with foster families, kids in foster care and young adults who have aged out of foster care. Year two is going to be an AMAZING year for GYSix as we make room for people in our communities who need to know that they’re seen. If you’d like to donate to help our mission to nurture kids who are in or have experienced foster care to success and independence, you can do that by heading to GYSix.org and hitting that Donate button. Thank you all for your continued support! #nashville #fostercare #nonprofit #nashvillenonprofit #fostercaresupport #agedout #youth #charity

  • 👏🏽We’re heading into 2025 with some big goals! The families, kids and young adults we serve deserve it! 2024 was our first year. We kicked off with fundraisers and fun events! Throughout the year we were able to help foster families with food and needed everyday supplies. We also helped to support kids that have aged out with food, home supplies, furniture, help with resume building, work supply needs and we were even able to help a young man get into a new car after his car after his quit on him. Then we finished the year strong bringing Christmas gifts to 165 youth+young adults who have aged out of foster care! It was an amazing first year!! Going into our second year for 2025 we’ve got big goals to reach and support even more folks who are in or have experienced foster care! Here are a few examples… -Get into a physical location in Nashville. Currently we have been limited in our reach, simply because we can only take so many donations in our home without a place to continue to store and work out of. We have people that are ready and willing to do more for our kids in need, we just need the space to do it! -Grants/Fundraising. We’re going to be pursuing finances on a higher level to be able to achieve more this year for our families! -Launch The Crown Project. 2025 is going to be our year to FINALLY get the Crown Project off the ground. This will be braiding days available to foster families, kids in foster care and young adults who have aged out, to get the protective styles needed for free! We’ll be talking more about our goals in 2025!! But we already know that year two is going to be greater in impact than our first. We so appreciate all of your support so far! If you’d like to donate going into 2025, you can do that by hitting DONATE at GYSix.org 🖤 #nashville #fosterfamilies #fosterfamily #youth #agedout #fostercare #fostercaresupport

    Yesterday, thanks to an amazing sponsor we got to drop off Christmas gifts for a family in need with 10 kids in their home! 👏🏽 Most of the kids came into custody, and they don’t receive any financial assistance at this time. Every family that opens their heart and home up to taking care of our most vulnerable in our community ABSOLUTELY SHOULD have access to support. Our goal is to both be that support and connect them to more! Thank you so much to all of you who help us to support families like this one! We’re so grateful for you! #foster #fosterfamilies #fosterfamily #fosterfamilysupport #youth

  • This Giving Season we’d like to let you know what we have coming up for foster families and youth/young adults who have aged out! Next Tuesday (Dec 3rd) is Giving Tuesday and we’d like for you to consider making a donation to help support the most vulnerable in our cities! Here’s what we have going on next month! >> We’re meeting local foster families/kids with Christmas gifts, and the option for them to sign up for further help and support that we can provide beyond Christmas! >>We’re getting to meet 165 Youth + Young Adults (between a few Christmas parties) who have aged out of foster care. Also, allowing sign ups for further support after Christmas! >>We’re bringing those Youth + Young Adults food and living essentials and gift cards for Christmas! THIS ALL EQUATES TO ABOUT A $20,000 PROJECT!! We’ve got about a week and a half left for our drive to keep acquiring items to make this happen! Reach out if you’d like to donate items to info@GYSix.org and we can coordinate items and a pick up. To donate monetarily, you can head to GYSix.org and hit DONATE. Thank you all for helping us love on these kids!

  • The hustle is strong this time of year! 😂 But we’re getting so much done to make sure the youth and young adults that we have access to this year get the Christmas they deserve! We’re working on collecting items for bags to donate. We REALLY want to make sure that we have a $50 Walmart gift card for all 165 foster youth and aged out young adults we see this year! If you’d like to donate to help us hit that goal, you can donate at GYSix.org or on Venmo to @GYSix (make sure to select business in your search options) Thank you!! #foster #fostercare #fostercaresupport #agedout #youth

  • It’s hard for a lot of people to imagine being in the world with no one. Most people at lease know one person that would take you in if you had not other option. Or help you with whatever you need to finish school. But for many kids that age out of foster care, they have no support. Sometimes you can find a program that will help you get into housing, but then what’s the motivation to even finish high school if you’re 18, when there’s not a single person present in your life who loves you enough to push you to finish so you don’t have regrets? Much less college. Our goal is relationship. To connect with folks that just need someone to tell them that they can do it, and they’re doing great. We’ll bring some groceries and stability too so they can focus on what they need to focus on and have their basic needs met. If you’d like to help us with our mission to nurture kids who are in or have experienced foster to success and independence, you can donate through our website. GYSix.org 🖤Thank you!!

  • 🖤 Moving into Giving Season, we just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far to help our mission to nurture kids who are in or have experienced foster care to success and independence! >> You’ve helped us to get registered as a 501c3 so that we can work to do what we already do, but on a bigger scale for more people in or aged out of foster care. >> You’ve helped us provide furniture and household items to young adults who have aged out of foster care and moved out on their own. >> You’ve help us be able to build relationships with our most vulnerable, so we can show up to fill the immediate needs we see. >> Because of you we were even able to help get one of our aged out youth into a car before his job was at risk. This is only the tip of the iceberg for the things we’re wanting to do and be apart of! We’re still a very small operation today, but with your help, we can grow and do so much more for those in our community that deserve so much more support! If you’d like to help us reach even more kids and young adults, you can donate at GYSix.org THANK YOU!
