Nashville (WSMV) – A Nashville songwriter is serving up more than fresh songs and catchy lyrics. 23-year old Ava Suppelsa is bringing hope to the homeless community of Nashville.

Suppelsa, who moved to Nashville at age 19 to pursue a career in songwriting, scored her first publishing deal with King Pen Music and Warner Chappell music in early 2020. Within months she started a non-profit organization at the height of COVID lockdowns.

“I started driving around the city as a way to get out of my apartment and I started to notice how many unhoused people there are [in Nashville],” says Suppelsa. “It’s really heart-breaking for me to see those people and not have something to give.”

Suppelsa says she made a post on social media asking any of her friends and followers to send money via Venmo so she could buy items for the homeless men and women she saw on the street. She admits the response was much larger than she expected.
