Homeless mom waits months for affordable housing

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – Every day Toni Helms cares for her 30-year-old son’s Todd Foster. He needs a wheelchair and 24-hour care.

“He has cerebral palsy. He has epilepsy and chronic asthma. He really needs me,” Helms said.

What they both need, Helms said, is a place to call home.

“We are homeless now. We tried to stay in the house as long as we could and it just come down to the wire before getting evicted,” Helms said.
