Hello there. I am reaching out to request assistance with an electric bill for a very caring and supportive foster family.

Student who aged out of OKDHS custody in need of assistance with help paying utility bill with Oklahoma Natural Gas. While being a single mother to 3 small children, this student is successfully enrolled in the Oklahoma Successful Adulthood program and is currently academically excelling in college.

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.
