We are currently working with a dedicated family of five in Payne County who are focusing on improving their living conditions. The household consists of two parents, two young daughters, and a son. Right now, they need two twin bed frames for the younger children.
They currently have mattresses on the floor. Meeting this need will allow them to focus on other financial obligations. Your support will not only provide essential assistance but also uplift this family's determination and sense of community. Thank you for considering this request, your generosity can make a lasting difference!

I have a young client, in elementary school, who is in need of a new mattress. We have received reports that his is stained and dirty and might have an odor, and as we work with him through counseling and case management on hygiene and other daily needs and coping skills, we believe a new mattress would help him to feel cleaner and safer. Mom informed me that this is something they have been working towards, but have not been able to get one on their own yet. A waterproof mattress pad would be very beneficial, as well.

Bio mom moved in-town to have her children live with her. She moved to keep her children in a school system they do well in and to go to a counselor they do well with. She is not working at this time and has gotten most of the money for rent but needs some assistance. This gives her a chance for her children to live with her and preventing the children from entering DHS custody.

I am reaching out to request your assistance in helping a mother who has recently relocated to our area from New Jersey in order to escape an abusive situation.

This brave woman is a survivor of stalking and domestic violence, and she has moved across the country with her children to ensure their safety and rebuild their lives. She is currently working around the clock to provide for her family, but the financial strain of starting over has been overwhelming.

At this time, she is in need of some essential household items, including a dining room table and chairs, which would provide her family with a stable space to share meals together and allow her children an area to do their homework. Additionally, she could greatly benefit from grocery gift cards to help ease the burden of feeding her children during this difficult time.

Any support provided would not only help with their immediate needs but also give them a sense of stability as they continue to heal and rebuild their lives.

Thank you for considering this request.

We have a 6 year old child placed in an Out of Home Safety Plan with grandparents. We are needing to supply them with some sort of camera system for the outside of their home. They have concerns that bio dad may be watching the house, and have different cars that pass by at a slow pace. They've notified Law enforcement, and made them aware. To give them further peace of mind we would like to get them a camera system outside so they can monitor who comes up their driveway or is stopped/driving slow by the home. They want to keep this kiddo safe at all costs. ANY AMOUNT HELPS! Go To Link

This mother attends family therapy sessions every other week to build a stronger connection with her son. They have started overnight visits and would like to continue having these weekend visits. Her son has been living in the group home and looks forward to seeing his mom when she visits, but even more so he enjoys going home with her on the weekends.

The family is working towards reunification and mom has requested help with gas money until they are reunified and in the same area.

A mom is requesting assistance with obtaining a bike, specifically a mountain bike. This mom is located in a secluded area that makes it extremely difficult to access transportation and other resources. She also lives off of a gravel road, which is why a mountain bike would be more appropriate. The mom is really wanting to get a job and has a few options available, however, due to limited transportation she has been unable to secure anything. This mom is motivated to work and be able to better provide for her baby. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
