Nashville Rescue Mission's Women Center is at capacity, and you can help!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — With the heat continuing to beat down in Tennessee, Nashville Rescue Mission's new Linda & Mike Curb Women's Center is already at capacity.

They tell us they have seen a 47% increase in the number of moms seeking shelter since a year ago, and a 76% increase in the number of children.

They promise to never turn anyone away, and because of this are asking the community for help.

If you want to make a donation, you can give once at the link online, or offer a monthly donation.

She's carrying her husband's legacy to raise money for Alzheimer's research

I am so inspired by Sheila Gann's love for her husband and her resilience. Anyone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's knows how cruel this disease is - not only for the patient but also for those who love and care for them. Mike and Sheila clearly had a remarkable love story, and she is now honoring that in the most beautiful way. Thanks to Forrest Sanders for sharing their story.
