About: Pawster supports people and pets through the hard times, by providing Crisis Foster Care for pets. When a pet owner faces a hospital stay, housing loss, domestic violence, addiction treatment, or natural disaster, Pawster houses their dog or cat in a volunteer foster home until the owner is back on their feet. Crisis Foster Care keeps families together and pets out of the shelter.

Anyone can foster a pet, even if you live in an apartment, have other pets, have kids, or work away from home. It's all about finding the right fit, and Pawster works to make the perfect match for your situation.

How will funds be used?

Funds go directly to care for pets while their owners get back on their feet: Food and supplies, vet visits, vaccinations, microchips, monthly prevention, spay/neuter surgery, and more. Owners in crisis never pay a cent for their pet's care, and Pawster provides all supplies to foster homes.

About: EPIC Girl equips teen girls whose lives have intersected with the child welfare system, the justice system, or other difficult life circumstances to discover who they really are, recognize new possibilities for themselves, and write a new story for their futures. In the last year EPIC Girl provided case management, risk level screening and empowerment programming to over 600 girls in residential facilities, alternative schools, Davidson County’s Juvenile Justice Center and juvenile drug courts in two counties. Through psychosocial education, we help girls find their inner hero, turn their challenges into strengths, and grow in emotionally healthy ways. As girls witness a healthier model for life through community and connection, they become cycle breakers who know their worth, live with hope, and embrace their purpose.

Our girls know they can always call us in crisis, whether they need a place to stay, have a run in with the justice system, or need help leaving a bad relationship.

How will funds be used?

Funds will support Case Managers who facilitate our programs across multiple settings that include alternative schools, hardware secure residential facilities, drug court settings, assessment centers, the Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center and our home at the Youth Opportunity Center.
