I work with a nearly blind consumer who recently gave birth and is also raising an 18-month-old toddler and a 10-year-old daughter. She was an LPN before losing her vision and is an incredible mother. The family is in need of size 8 diapers or pull-ups for the toddler, as well as a portable toilet training seat with handles that can be easily removed for use outside the home. The newborn has enough diapers for now thanks to donations from out-of-state family. They are also in need of a toddler mattress for a bed frame she was able to get at a low cost. Though they’ve received many toys as donations, they lack toy storage or shelving, so the toys are still in bags, and if they get out of the bags it creates a fall hazard. Safe storage options like a toy box, shelves, dressers, or plastic drawer units would be very helpful in reducing risks, especially since she’s often carrying a child. I’ve helped set up baby gates to create a safe toddler area and added a pack-and-play in the living room for the newborn. However, their living room TV sits on an old metal stand with sharp corners and missing glass shelves, making it both a safety hazard and a waste of space. Any support—partial or full—would mean a great deal to this amazing family.

We are currently working with an expecting mother and her 5 year old son. The mother’s case was recently closed with DHS. We have been working with the family for 5 months and will also close this month. The family has been very cooperative and engaged with all services. The mother needs a dresser for her son. During this time, the family has been working to improve the stability and environment of their home. The family is motivated to continue improving their environment and maintaining their home. By meeting this need, the family would be given hope to move forward and feel supported by the community. Thank you for considering meeting this need. Your support is greatly appreciated!

We are currently working with a family of five in Kay County, consisting of a mother, father, two daughters, and one son. Over the past two months, the family has made significant efforts to improve their living situation. Recently, the parents installed new carpeting in their home to improve their living conditions. Currently, the family is in need of a twin-size mattress and bedframe. They also need a full-size bedframe [already have mattress and box springs]. Providing this assistance would allow them to continue managing other financial responsibilities while maintaining a safe and healthy home. Your support would offer meaningful relief, reinforce the family’s progress, and remind them that they are part of a caring and supportive community. Thank you for considering this request, your generosity and dedication are truly appreciated.

We are currently working with a family of four in Kay County, consisting of a mother, father, and their two daughters. The family has worked on improving their lives over the past four months. The parents are traveling between Kay County and Osage County for work, and the family is needing gas cards to help alleviate their financial burden. Any amount would be appreciated. By providing help, the family can continue to manage other financial responsibilities while keeping a safe and healthy living environment. Your support would offer meaningful relief and reinforce their determination, as well as their connection to a caring community. Thank you for considering this request, your generosity and dedication are truly appreciated!

Foster parents need a bunk bed for two foster children in their home. The children are two sibling girls. This item will assist the foster family in providing the girls with adequate bedding and space in their bedroom. Thank you!
