🚐✨ We’re excited to take this show on the road and continue an important conversation about how we, as a city and as a nation, can better protect and support our seniors so they can age in community, with community.
Our goal is to help create opportunities where everyone can thrive, especially our older adults. Seniors are the foundation of our communities, and they deserve to live with dignity, connection, and support.
One Bad Break shines a light on the challenges many seniors face and sparks meaningful dialogue about the solutions we can build together. Join us as we bring this conversation to new audiences, share powerful stories, and work toward communities where aging is not just possible—but thriving is expected.

We’re building more than housing — we’re building hope.
🏡 The Cottages at Silverstone will provide 46 affordable homes for seniors earning 30% or less of the Area Median Income, along with wellness programs and community spaces designed for connection.
Our predevelopment goal: $250,000
Every dollar moves us closer to breaking ground in North Nashville.
✨ Your gift today becomes part of a legacy that keeps seniors rooted where they belong.

At 79 years old, our family’s matriarch Norma lost her home when her senior living community was sold out from under her.
Her story is not unique. More than 52% of seniors in Davidson County are cost-burdened, spending too much of their fixed income just to stay housed.
That’s why we launched Our Legacy Lives Here to build The Cottages at Silverstone, a 46-unit affordable senior community in North Nashville where seniors can age in place, stay connected in community, and be given the opportunity to thrive.

Please join us for an unforgettable evening of storytelling and purpose as we work together to ensure our seniors can remain in the communities they helped build.

🎥 Starring award-winning actor Cameron Arnett, the film was written and produced by Natalie Ruffino Wilson and Kyler Wilson in partnership with the Nashville Filmmakers Guild’s StoryGive Project. One Bad Break tells a humbling and deeply human story of how a single unforeseen hardship can unravel stability for a senior living on a fixed income, revealing just how fragile housing security can be in a rapidly growing city.
Through compelling storytelling, the film reflects AWAKE Nashville’s mission to mitigate displacement and create sustainable affordable housing solutions for seniors who deserve to age in place with dignity.

As a part of the event, AWAKE Nashville will host a networking mixer, premiere film screening, and a post-screening panel moderated by Hannah McDonald of NewsChannel 5. She will sit down with leaders in government, affordable housing, and public policy to explore long-term, collaborative solutions to meet the growing affordable housing needs of seniors in our community.

7PM-7:30PM - Networking Mixer
7:45PM - Short Film Screening
8:30PM - 9PM - Panel Discussion

This evening is more than a film screening — it is a call to awareness, accountability, and action. It will also serve as an opportunity to raise essential funds for AWAKE Nashville’s upcoming affordable housing community, The Cottages at Silverstone, a 46-unit affordable senior development designed to support independent living, wellness, and social connection in North Nashville.

Happy Birthday, Karen! 💛 We are so grateful for you.
