Mom is working, the kiddos are healthy, everything is going great! It is time to move from Grandma's to their own apartment but it's pretty empty. This family needs some furniture. A sofa, a chair, dining table and chairs, maybe a TV stand. The little girl has a crib that can be handed down to her baby brother since she's ready for a toddler bed and a dresser to store their clothes. Moving in for Christmas would be the best present they could possible receive. Donations to help make that happen would be very much appreciated; they need a lot, but donations, full or partial, can help make their lives more comfy for the holidays!

The foster family is in need is diapers size 4 & 5 as they just took placement of 4 kids with 3 under 4 years of age. 2 of them are still in diapers and they are in need of diapers and wipes for the kids. The family also is in need of some type of storage unit for the kids shoes and clothes as everything is in 1 dresser at this time. The family is in need of a humidifier or 2 to help keep the children that have been placed there. The home is currently not receiving any assistance as this is a new placement. The family could use a Walmart gift card to help cover the cost of these items.

Natural Parents just begin Trial Reunification on December 1, 2023, with their 3 children. Natural parents need financial assistance of $200.00 for children clothes. and shoes. When the children came home from their foster home, the children only had a couple outfits a piece. Natural Parents have begun to buy the children some clothes but needed assistance with more items for all three of the children.

Foster families only vehicle is currently in the shop at Kevin Grover as if broke down on the turnpike last week. Foster family could use any help as the repairs are going to cost them $7,100. This family has 3 children that are very active in school and the littlest one has to be able to be taken to daycare as both foster parents are working full time. Any help with this would be appreciated by the foster family.

I have a foster mother who is providing for a family of 3 living off of one income. She has had to cut back on her hours at work which is even harder as she doesn't get paid hourly as she is a hair dresser. She is needing assistance with a $70 bill she had to pay at the daycare.

This request would help a family of 6. The children have been in the same non-paid kinship home for some time now. The families AC/Heating unit isn't working properly and they have been told they would have to purchase a new unit at any moment costing around $8,000. I understand this is a big request, if there are any companies who could offer a second opinion to ensure the family doesn't have another option. As the weather changes and it gets colder this is a concern for the family. The family has continued to love, care for, and provide for the children despite the different obstacles they have been faced with. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I have a mother that wants to work really hard to reunify with her daughter. She is experiencing some hardships with paying her electric bill. She is in need of 35.48 dollars.

I have two foster care parents who desperately need a box of size 5 diapers (or two) and wipes for their 2 1/2 year old foster care son. They are struggling financially right now as they have not started receiving their foster care stipend's. Thank you in advance for helping this family.

Mom lives in Texas and has made great strides to get back on track and has done so. She is currently taking care of her other child safely and financially and has paid off all her debt to get back to Oklahoma. The child recently lost his only other family member (grandmother) in which the child had a strong bond a couple of months ago from organ failure. Mom has secured the money for the Uhual; paid off all outstanding debts and has the funds for the 1st months’ rent on the new apartment in Tulsa; but is just short of the deposit. The kiddo has been placed in a new foster home and bio mom has attended and participated in all services with OKDHS, including making a complete lifestyle change to do so.

6 foster children in a relative placement are need of clothing and diapers to help with family needs till getting full certification by OKDHS. An adult Large Coat for teen. Diapers for 3 children: Size 8, Size 2T, & Size 3T. The family member has taken on a large group of siblings and cousins.

We have a mother having major hardships at the moment. Her vehicle has broken down and this is making it nearly impossible to get to work and is hindering visiting with her children. Uber and Lyft is costing her a fortune and it's hard for her to keep up with everything. This mother is living pay-check to pay-check and isn't getting easier for her. This has caused her to miss family time with her children, which isn't like her. She has reached out to us pleading for whatever help she can get. A mechanic has told her that it will cost upwards $800 to fix her vehicle. With paying rent and everyday necessities she has been unable to reach that amount. The mechanic says the engine has completely gone out. She does have another vehicle the same model as the one she has now that is down due to a wreck she had. The engine in that one is fine and the mechanic advised her that that engine could be put in her current vehicle but $800 is the best price she has been given. This mother only seeks help, it doesn't have to be cash, just possibly someone that help get her vehicle up and going again. So if anyone fixes vehicles or knows someone that does she would appreciate that greatly. She is devastated that she has had to miss seeing her children when she is unable to afford or get a ride to family time. Any help from the community would benefit her in so many ways.

I have a family of 2 adults, and 5 children ages 9, 12, 13, 15, and 17. The younger 3 children report never having beds to sleep on. They report sleeping on air mattresses up until this last week when they popped, to where they are sleeping on tile floors with a blanket. The family needs assistance with beds, mattresses, sheets and pillows. Assisting this family getting mattresses will help these children get a good nights rest to thrive in academics, sports and day to day life. Christmas is coming up and would make their Holiday season special!

A single mom who was reunited with her children, is needing some assistance with rent during the holidays. She is the sole provider for her family with children that have medical needs, ages 2 (boy) and age 4 (female).

Any assistance towards her rent this holiday season would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed please contact Case Worker.

OKDHS is asking for help for this family to ensure their basic needs are being met. Thank you.
