Maternal aunt and uncle in need of VISA card for gas. She is working on getting a guardianship of her nephew and drives him to several Family Time visits and other appointments in Tulsa throughout the week. Maternal aunt and child live in Haskell where there is no Quik Trip, so a VISA card would be preferred for gas.

Their water bill is $171.47 and ONG bill is $190.40. This placement has worked hard to keep this sibling set together while juggling the unexpected financial challenges of 5 additional children.

We have a foster family whose Air Conditioner went out completely today. With their current finances, they are going to struggle to afford repairs right now. They have two foster children right now, both 2 yrs. and under. The are a newer foster home that just opened up in March of 2023. Our number one goal is to make sure the kids are able to stay in the home as they were placed in their home in April.

The mother entered into a juvenile deprived case with her current child and has done exceptionally well, turning her life around and her case is about to close. There was domestic violence and the mother filed for and received a protective order from the father so there is not any contact with him at this time. The mother found out she is expecting and it is a high risk pregnancy. The mother is in need of baby items including a car seat and infant clothing, diapers, blankets and any other items associated with an infant because she is unable to work at this time. The mother's DHS case will be closing in a week so she will not have any of the services when the baby is due in September. If these needs are met, it would take the stress off the mother and she can focus on taking care of her current child and prepare for the new one. Mother is expecting a girl but does not care for pink, prefers purple and yellow for a girl.

Two children are going to be reunified with their mother but need two mattresses to do so. Updated on June 05, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Just need one mattress now.

The mother's newborn was placed into custody and the mother is homeless with no phone and no means of being able to stay in touch with her case worker, service providers, or attorney once she is released from the hospital to maintain services and be able to have contact for arranging family time with the newborn during the case.

Foster parents are asking for help with clothes for a 2 year old who came into care with no belongings. Child is a girl who wears size 3T in clothes and 7/8 in shoes. The child was homeless living in the car with natural mother and her boyfriend and the child did not have anything, but the clothes on her. Foster parents will take any use or new items for this child, as anything would help make this placement long term. (Clothes: shorts $5, tops $5, dresses $15, sandals $20).

Hello there. I am reaching out for assistance for a family on my caseload. There is a single mother of three who is working as many hours as her job will allow in order to make ends meet for her family. She and her children are currently in trial reunification and she has been doing everything she can do provide for them and ensure that they don’t go without anything. However, she is struggling a bit financially. She could use some help with the following: a gas card, groceries, and daycare application fees for her three children. Any contribution you may be able to make towards these needs would be immensely appreciated! Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

A MOTHER IS NEEDING HELP WITH FURNITURE! There is a mother that has two children (1 and 5 years old). Mom just got a house for herself and her children. Mom is needing some things in order to move into the home. Mom has a toddler mattress for one of her children, but she is needing help with getting a toddler bed frame. Mom is also needing a new bed and bedframe for herself as hers broke. Mom stated she is willing to sleep on an air mattress in the meantime if she is unable to get a bed at the moment. The family is also needing a refrigerator, as the home did not come with one. Mom is not able to get a job right now, due to her attending services and college classes. Mom has been very engaging in all her services. Mom has reached out to other resources, but has had no luck in finding any of the items listed.

Kinship foster family needs assistance obtaining a baby gate to be in compliance with the foster care approval process. The family needs a "wood banister & stair safety gate". Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as the family has had to spend a lot of personal funds to baby proof their home before they've been approved.

This foster family of four is still in the process of approval and in the need of help with their rent. Both foster parents are disabled and on strict financial budgets so any help is greatly appreciated. This foster mother recently graduated with her first Associate's degree to be able to work part-time to help support the family. She is actively looking for a job and anticipates having one to supplement the income for the next month. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Parents need your help paying the summer camp fee of $675 in order to provide a positive peer opportunity for their 14 year old son with other disabled children. Their son is non-verbal, autistic and an epileptic. One of the parents’ plans to attend this camp with their son. This young boy needs and deserves lots of positive interaction with peers in a supervised and safe atmosphere so he can experience new things available at this camp. By covering even a portion of the camp fee, you will be making a huge difference in this family’s life. This boy will be able to zip line through the woods, jump off a diving board amidst a cheering crowd and create a lifelong relationship with a camp friend among many other camp activities. The Family and Child Welfare thank you for considering assisting with this fee. Again, any donation amount will go to pay for this young boy’s camp fee.

A single 22 year old Dad needs some furniture for him and his son in their apartment. At this time he does not have any furniture. He needs a couch, loveseat and table plus two beds and eventually a washer/dryer.

A family of four have worked very hard to get to the place where they are looking at reunifying. The single mother has housing but none of the children have beds. We are requesting 4 beds so that each child can have his/her own bed at night. This could two sets of bunkbeds or four twin sized beds.

Father of three children who have been in DHS custody for a year is in need of completing a program which requires an initial assessment. The initial assessment fee is 95.00 and the father is not able to cover the cost at this time. The program that needs to be completed is 52 weeks long, so the father getting started as soon as possible is important. Permanency worker is asking for someone to pay the assessment fee.

I have a mom who got behind on the rent when she had to take off work to have a baby. She's been able to get almost all the way caught up but is still a little short. With her rent caught up, we'll feel more secure in closing her case, knowing she has a safe place for her children to stay.

Hello! I have a Grandmother who has placement of her grandchildren and is looking for a foldable metal twin bed frame for her Granddaughter. If anyone has one available that could donate one or has the funds to purchase that would be amazing and Grandma would really appreciate it! Thank you!!

Parents of 7 children need our community’s assistance with beds, bedding and clothing storage/organization. They also need someone to haul the furniture to their home as they navigate life with a large family on a low income. Both parents work outside the home however are not able to make ends meet without assistance. The children are amazing individuals with personalities as big as the day is long. They have been taught manners and social graces and are a joy to work alongside as we reunite them with their parents. The children’s ages range from newborn to 11 years of age (Boys’ ages are 11, 9, 6 and newborn; Girls’ ages are 5, 2 and 1.) They currently are in need of a toddler bed for their 5 year old daughter and the parents need a queen size bed and bed frame. They have no bedding for the beds, so queen, twin and toddler bed size bedding such as sheets, blankets and pillows are also needed. Plain colors for the bedding would be best instead of themed items. The 3 boys each have twin sized beds (bunk beds and a twin bed). If someone is able to assist with moving the beds to their home that is also a great need to be filled. This need can be met partially but selecting one item below. Every little bit helps a lot!!! Filling this need will greatly reduce the stress and anxiety of both parents as they work together to finish their treatment plans in order to keep their family together in their home. The parents and child welfare greatly appreciate your help!!!

Foster parents are in need of help with summer camp for a child in care. The child has stated that he would like to attend the camp with the church and foster parents are struggling to pay out of pocket.
