A single mom of a 12 year old boy is struggling to provide the resources she needs for her son. The mother has some cognitive delays. She does not have a car and is working toward providing a home for her and her son. The child was recently diagnosed with type II diabetes and sleep apnea. Mom is trying to juggle a home, transportation to medical appointments, and supplies for her son. The boy is in need of clothing and hygiene products. He is a 4X in shirt, 5X in pants, and size 13 Wide shoe. He also needs underwear, socks, soap, and a toothbrush. These resources could help the mother focus on participating in services to prevent her child from DHS custody.

This family is a total of 6 children who are a blended family with two homes. Both homes are having issues with bed bugs and the family is not able to afford to treat both homes at the same time. The children are unable to sleep in their beds due to the bugs and therefore all of the children are sleeping on the couch or on the floor. Since there are two homes the family is needing help with at least one of the homes so both homes can be treated at the same time and they do not bring the bed bugs back and forth between homes. Thank you so much for your consideration in providing for this need.

There is a concerns for the condition of the home with a 1 year old in the home. The home is cluttered with belongings and the family needs help cleaning the home to ensure the safety of the 1 year old who is walking and could potentially be harmed by the clutter in the home. The mother has had health issues and therefore it is difficult for her to clean everything on her own while watching a 1 year old. The father works long hours and is doing what he can when he is at home but it is difficult for him as he is working often and cannot afford to take off anymore to de-clutter the home. Assistance for helping the family clean the home would be very helpful for this family to ensure the safety of their 1 year old in the home and build connections for this family. Thank you so much for your consideration in providing for this need!

We have a child who is in custody and dealing with complicated mental health. The child is close to being released from a facility and will be reunited with a paternal aunt. The child and paternal aunt have not seen each other for 4 years, and previously had a very bonded relationship. The aunt is working very hard to prepare her home for this child and has stretched her budget. The aunt asked for assistance with bedding. The child stated flower bedding is nice and does not have a color preference. The bed is a regular twin bed. The case worker found the following on Amazon: Greenland Home Watercolor Dream Quilt Twin, White and HC Collection Hotel Luxury Bed Sheets Set 1800 Platinum Collection in White and twin size. The total cost for the bedding should be $100 or less. This is only a suggestion and the child is not picky. Thank you so much for your continuing support.

I have a family of 10, 9 children and 1 adult. This is the first time the mother is trying to take care of all 9 kids on her own, she is doing the best she can but she called her worker today to ask for help because her electric was turned off. The company told her that if she can pay close to half of it then they can switch it back on. The mother is also reaching out to other companies to see if they can help.

Need a coat for toddler girl size 18 months. Need pants, shirts, and socks size 18 months for her as well. She currently only has 2 or 3 outfits right now and does not have a coat for the cold weather. We just moved her and her brother to a new placement and she did not come with much. I also need size 6/7 boys shirts for her brother.

A foster family is currently in need of help paying a bill for the home. The foster family just recently became fully approved and is needing help covering this bill until foster stipends come. The family has one child placed in the home.

A young mother of 1 who is also expecting a new baby girl in January has not yet obtained her driver's license and has transportation barriers to get to her educational services classes. She is able to ride public transportation, but does not have the financial resources to purchase bus passes. In addition to being able to engage in her services, a bus pass would allow this mom more independence to get to needed appointments for herself and her son. She has started studying for the written test now as well and is making strides to fully participate in the services to keep her child(ren) safe.

I have a family of 5 in need of financial assistance. The mother is a stay at home mom to 3 children ages 5,7, and 9. She is currently in school. The husband recently lost his job due to COVID 19. They were on a payment plan with OG&E and their bill went from $75 to over $200. Their only source of income is the husband’s unemployment. Due to the jump in the electric bill and having to pay rent, gas, water, and needing transportation to get the children back and forth to school. Their electricity was cut off. In order for the family to get their electricity back on they are needing to pay $650 service fee.
