April 2025 . . . Lifelines
A Note from Diana Jackson, CEO
Greetings as we welcome Spring and warmer temperatures!
We are very happy to report that the 2025 Spring Fling total was over $122,000. We are very excited as much of the money earned will be used to afford the cost of a project to build new duplexes to meet the needs of people supported by the agency. Many people we support need roll in showers and one level living due to their physical needs and the effects of aging. We are excited to be working to make this project a reality.
We are very grateful for all the generosity of so many people in our community, including parents and family members. Mark your calendar for the 2026 SPRING FLING – March 27th.
Happy Easter to all, as we remember the reason for the season.
Life Bridges Partners – Thank you for believing in and partnering with us!
Together we are BRIDGING the gap!

Life Bridges received 6 Ford Transit Wheelchair Vans awarded from a Tennessee Department of Transportation grant.
The vans had been on backorder and are much needed to transport individuals who are transported in wheelchairs.
Multiple wheelchairs and seated individuals can be transported together in each vehicle.
Doug Ledford, Vehicle Maintenance Program Coordinator, and Damaris Betancourt worked together to request the vehicles.

Love of Baseball. . .
By: James Long Eagle Kilgore, Person Supported, Life Bridges Reporter
Saturday, April 5th, 2025, starts our opening day of Miracle League Baseball. Teams had changes to their schedules. It consists of Orioles, A’s, Braves, Dodgers, Pirates, and Giants. It is located on Eureka Road in Cleveland, Tennessee. For the first time in ten years. Eric Odom says, “In order to hydrate drink some Powerade”. This reporter hits really big towards left field twice in a game between the Athletics and the Dodgers. For more information, please contact Carolyn Kimsey at: www.miracleleaguebc.org.
