A Note from Diana Jackson, CEO
Summer has proven to be busy, productive, and HOT!
We are working to finalize plans to build two new duplexes with hopes to begin in 2025. The land has been procured, building plans are in the works, and the agency board of directors is working on the financing. We are seeking collaboration from several local donors and we will keep you posted on these. If you have an idea or want to participate in some way, please let me know. This years Spring Fling will be dedicated to this effort. Thank you to so many of you who have already purchased a table or contacted us to be involved with this event in March.
We have ordered 3 more new wheelchair vans to add to our transportation fleet through the TN Department of Transportation. Delivery date is unknown, but we anticipate their arrival before the end of the year. We also expect to purchase several mini vans before the end of year to meet the needs of the people we support. I know many of you are invested in this process.
Thank you for your prayers, contributions, and volunteer hours – together we make it happen!
Life Bridges Partners – Thank you for believing in and partnering with us!
Bridging the gap!

Always Learning
By: James L. Kilgore, Person Supported, Life Bridges Reporter
I have been enrolled in online courses at Hillsdale College. I passed four classes like, Introduction to the Constitution; Supply-Side Economics and American Prosperity; History of Classical Music and Economics 101: The Principles of Free-Market Economics. Hillsdale is a wonderful college that I can take classes and plan to take additional classes this fall.
This reporter is hoping to find a job soon and my case manager, Totiona Bowers is teaching me about personal space and behavior when working with others.
