On Dec. 6, 2024, just two and a half weeks before Christmas, the Dollar General on Lafayette St. in Nashville, Tennessee, permanently closed.

For some, this may just be another building closing, but for the 6,000 to 7,000 who live in the Napier and Sudekum low-income housing community, this was a major loss due to the lack of resources in the area.

“To see it now where we don’t have that part of our community, the barriers and how hard it is for people to have access to something that is a basic human need is just so hurtful, painful, and disheartening,” said Amanda Key, co-chair of the health and wellness committee for the Love Thy Neighborhood Collective.

With just a kitchen and a few chairs set out to wait, Amber and Marquise Hill, co-owners of the restaurant, cook and serve food to customers sitting right outside as their youngest son clings to his mom's side with his Spiderman hat and crayon drawings.

“I haven’t made a dollar today, but I’ve got a smile on my face because I know what’s to come,” said Hill.

By the time Hayden Jordan is ready to go to bed after spending hours doing homework, it is already 2 a.m., and it’s time to take three melatonin gummies– four if they don’t hit hard enough.

Every day college students across the country suffer from sleep deprivation.

According to Shelley D. Hershner and Ronald D. Chervin, both who work in the Department of Neurology at the University of Michigan, about 50% of students reported daytime sleepiness, and about 70% had insufficient sleep.

The impact of insufficient sleep can result in lower grade point averages, increased risk of academic failure, compromised learning, and impaired mood.

For Maddie Duda, a freshman majoring in communication studies, moving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee for school meant not only adjusting to a new environment but also taking on new responsibilities.

One of those is providing her own groceries, which has become harder after losing access to her car over Christmas break.

“It definitely can get stressful because it’s my money and I have to be careful with it so having something like Rebecca’s House takes a little bit of that stress away because it is money that I don’t have to spend, but I’m still getting nourished,” said Duda.
