Is there ANYTHING for Dayton, TN?
Hi, Kathy! Our lead Christmas researcher, Shay, is still working on a list of over 200 counties that were requested last holiday season. Rhea County is definitely on the list and she will get to it as soon as she can. It might be a few months, though… but we are doing our best to get these finished before the upcoming holiday. :\
Go to the Rhea County Sheriff’s Dept. They will help you.

Hello, do you know of any places in Knoxville, TN that help single moms of special needs teens? My daughter (17) has Autism and still plays with Barbies, watches Nick Jr., Disney and pre-school cartoons. No agency that I’ve come across will help with Christmas for her because when they see a 5’6″ 280lb “woman” they practically laugh in my face when I say I need toys for her. She still believes in Santa and is cognitively 7. I’d appreciate any help or advice.. thanks!!
Sabrina,
I also have a child with autism, I completely understand where you are coming from! My boy still thinks his Hogwarts letter should be coming any day now! I’m so sorry that the agencies you have tried haven’t been accommodating to your daughter’s needs. I checked and Knox County, TN is on our research list. We hope to have more information for you as it becomes available! Hang in there, and keep checking back with us!
