Mom of 7 kids has them home with her in trial reunification and has been doing well - we are so proud of her! Unfortunately, they are in public housing and mom found out this week that they have bed bugs ): This family is in desperate needs of bed bug treatment and clearly cannot afford that. As of now, I have not looked for an exterminator yet, but would be appreciative of either financial assistance for this family or if there by some small chance there is a community connection that knows how to do this it would be incredible.
A natural father has been consistently attending his family times with his infant daughter as well as his parenting classes. He recently experienced his days at work being reduced and is struggling to pay for gas. This request is for a $25 gas card/visa gift card to assist with this need. Any help is greatly appreciated!
A natural father has requested a bus pass to help with transportation to family times as well as his court ordered service providers. This request is for a 31-day bus pass.
This resource family is attempting to move homes to have more space for the 3 adults (brothers and uncle) and the 2 foster children in their home.

Five siblings were recently placed together in a relative kinship foster home. The economic impact of 5 additional children in their home has been a challenge and they have not yet received a stipend or foster care payment. They have a past due gas bill of $151.94. Please consider helping this family as they are working very hard to keep these siblings together in their home.

Thank you for your consistent support of families through CarePortal! We are so grateful! It makes a big difference.
This family is in the process of reunifying with their 16-year-old daughter. These parents live in a home with limited space and an open backyard with their 3 female cats and 2 female dogs in their home that are in need of being neutered and spayed. One of their female dogs has recently had a litter of puppies and both parents have been struggling to find a home for the puppies. Both parents are aware that they are unable provide for the puppies which is why they would like to prevent their pets from the possibilities of breeding. This family qualifies for the $10 low-income spay and neutering services offered through HELP Tulsa OK Alliance for Animals, but they do not have the funds to pay for this service for their pets. This family would greatly appreciate any assistance offered for their pets spay and neuter services.
I have a dad who is currently staying in a hotel which is costing him $393 per week. Once he pays this amount, he has less than $60 left to last him for the week in terms of gas and food. He could use a weeks stay and grocery help. He is attempting to reunify with his two children.
Bio-mom is need of help paying someone for transportation to service providers and to visits with children. Mom is currently in between jobs and does not have a car, but has a friend that is willing to provide the transportation, if mom can help with expenses.
There are two sweet and energetic little girls (ages 8, 9) currently in an adoptive placement with their maternal cousin (adoptive mom). This adoptive mom has made an enormous sacrifice for her cousin by taking in her children. These precious girls have already been through more trauma than a child should face. Adoptive mom has been working tirelessly making sure the girls have the proper care and therapy they need to work through their trauma. The girls have told the worker on several occasion they would like to have fun and attend summer camp. If you are able to help this family with all or part of this fee, it would be an enormous help in alleviating some of the financial stress foster mom is currently under. Thank you for your help! We appreciate you!
A foster home is in need of assistance paying a $75 enrollment fee for daycare for two young foster children. There is one working resource parent in the home that has three adults and three foster children. Income is limited per month.
Hello, I have an incarcerated parent who is participating with DHS and has taken responsibility for his role in what has occurred in his children's lives. He is remorseful and would like to continue phone/video contact, and writing letters, through appropriate procedures. while allowing his children to heal while in foster care and obtain permanency. I respectfully request $50 to add to his "books" so he can call and write his children.
There are three energetic girls 5, 8, and 9 currently in an adoptive placement with their Aunt. The girls have been asking the worker constantly to find day camps they can attend because they do not want to attend everyday once school is out. Foster mom and the girls have found several different camps; however scholarships and discounts there is still a balance preventing these precious girls from attend camps. Which will cause them to miss out on adventure, laughs, and making new friends. If you are able to help this family with all or part of this fee, it would be an enormous help in alleviating some of the financial stress foster mom is currently under. Thank you for your help! We appreciate you!
Hello!! I am a school-based specialist with DHS and Union Public Schools. I have a family of 3, a mother and her two daughters, who need assistance with their vehicle. The mother, who is a single parent and does not receive any help financially from the father, was recently in a wreck(not her fault.) Unfortunately, she only had liability coverage on her vehicle, which means she is out of pocket for her repairs. Her vehicle has substantial damage to her hood and lights. These have to be replaced in order for her to be able to drive safely. The mother has been working very diligently to raise funds(working overtime) and looking for someone who will assist her with the repairs if she funds the parts. She has already spent quite a bit of money herself and is running out of funds to finish the car. She still needs the headlights and hood, which equal over $400. The mother has done the work of finding her parts by calling auto salvages and looking online for used parts. I can provide a picture of the parts and their costs. The hood is $259.98 and the lights are $214.99. This mother and her children(one is a senior at Union looking at graduating from Tulsa Tech soon) would be so very grateful for this help. Please and thank you.
