I have a dad who could use gas cards to help him get back and forth to visitations with his son and to providers.

I have a dad who is about to get trial reunification of his daughter. He desperately needs a bicycle for himself and his 14 yr old daughter. These could be used as long as they are operable. Additionally, this family could use a twin size bed or full size bed and mattress. Also, could be used but would provide her someplace to sleep.

Family of 4 needs assistance with gasoline and groceries. If this need is met it will mean the family can have more balanced meals and also will have the means to travel for therapy and etc for the family. Thanks!

A mother needs assistance with gasoline and groceries. She has made all the right decisions to keep her children safe and cared for. Now starting fresh, when this need is met it will allow her to have an ease of burdens to "begin again".

Father needs assistance with gasoline to make appointments connected with DHS case.

Biological dad is doing well with visits and hopefully reunifying with his daughter soon. He will start his unsupervised visits for this month. If everything goes well he will start overnights next month with his daughter. He just moved to a different city and is needing assistance. He is preparing the home for his daughter as well as their family. He already has a bed for his daughter although he is needing assistance with a dresser. Biological dad is also needing help with a dresser and bed for himself. He needs hangers for clothes and clothes for his daughter. His daughter wears size 4T in shirts and shorts/pants, shoes size 9-10. Anything would be appreciated.

Hello! I have two parents who are struggling to use to the bus system to make it to visits with their 1 year old and their newborn. A family member (grandmother) is willing to give them rides but they need help providing gas money to the family member. If someone could please help these parents with a gas card until they are able to start steady jobs that would be amazing!!! Thank you!!!

Please help this young mother who has been struggling with transportation to and from services and to see her daughter. She is just now getting on her own from a negative relationship and needs a little help to get her back and forth to visits. A gas card would be beneficial to her as she is afraid to ride the Tulsa Transit. She has assistance with rides from her father and co-workers but it is quite a ways from her home to the office. Anything is appreciated!

This mom needs someone to buy her a birth certificate as she has lost hers. She is having difficulty applying for services without it.

Two parents living in Tulsa have been making the drive to the OKC metro to see their 6-year-old daughter in her kinship placement, but they are struggling with the cost of gas and covering the tolls. Mom is on disability and is having health issues due to having major surgery and post-op complications recently. And dad's job is on a slow down, so he hasn't been working, and he's been providing care for mom as she recovers. Their daughter is having a hard time being away from mom for the first time and misses hugs. Helping out with transportation costs will help this family maintain hope as mom recovers and the parents start engaging in services. Having help with gas and tolls in any amount would help them be able to make the drive to and from OKC to see their daughter.

A non relative kinship home has taken on a difficult to place teen. The teen has been in multiple placements including group homes, shelters and was AWOL for several months. This kinship had met the teen in a previous foster home and is willing to provide a safe home for her. She also has guardianship of her granddaughter. The kinship placement has recently completed classes and is waiting on her final home study to be fully certified to receive monthly stipends. Adding an extra child in the home has been a financial burden on the family, but she is willing to stick it out and the teen is doing well in the home. The teen is attending school, has not had any AWOL attempts, and is being accepted in a family setting. The family's washer and dryer went out this month so they are having to use the laundry mat. Their home can accommodate a stackable or side by side unit. The family moved into their current location shortly before accepting placement and they are in need of a oven/stove; they are currently using an electric skillet, microwave, and hot plate for cooking. The girls are also in need of summer clothing. The 14 year old needs adult size 14/16 and prefers longer athletic shorts, T-shirts, athletic wear, and needs sports bras and underwear. The 3rd grader needs a girls' size 16/18 and also need shorts and t-shirts, training bras, and underwear. Any help with used appliances or appropriate clothing would be appreciated by this family.

We have a relative foster family in need of assistance with groceries. They are not fully approved yet and won't receive any maintenance payments to help with the care of the two children placed in their home until next month. The children will be out of school May 18th and the family is needing help as the school was providing breakfast and lunch during the day and now the family will have to provide those meals throughout the summer. They know that once maintenance payments come things will be a lot easier on them financially, but until then anything helps.

I have a mom who recently moved into a sober living with her daughter. She is needing a dresser, bookshelf, broom/dust pan, trash can and kitchen items. This mother would be fine with used supplies. Additionally, I would request a gift card for groceries to get her started up or simply a box of the basics.

Hello, thank for all you do. I know this is a great reach. I work for Family Centered Services. We work toward preventing children from being misplaced and having to enter into the court system. I currently am working with a family who has really been through it the last year. They have been homeless and without a car just really down on their luck. In 12 months they have strived to gain employment, a home, and a vehicle. Now greatly affecting their ability to move forward is fines for traffic tickets in the past. There are 4 significant fines that would need to be paid in order for the mother to retain her drivers license. Currently she only makes enough to cover her monthly bills. If anyone could be gracious enough to assist this family it would mean the children would have safe means to and from therapy as well as school and other activities. The mother would be able to get herself to and from therapy as well. Thank you for your consideration in this matter!!!

We have a mother that is needing her drivers license reinstated. DPS has reported that to reinstate her drivers license they require her to pay $1250. This mother has saved some to put towards this barrier, but to reach the goal will take much longer without help. We are in the process of starting trial reunification between four children and their mother as soon as we get into housing. She has housing set up and available, but to get into this house and start trial reunification, the house requires a drivers license. We are looking for help towards reaching the goal of $1250 as soon as possible.

Foster parent is asking for help with clothes for a foster child. Foster parent is a single parent who has her own children and need support. Child came into custody with no belongings due to no stable caretaker and no one came forward to maintain custody or guardianship. Child is a 10 y/o in need of clothes, shoes, and underwear. Child wears size 14/16 in girls and shoe size 7 ½. Foster mom has worked hard in maintaining a foster home, recently moved into a bigger place in order to provide the basic needs for her children and the foster child, and appreciate the support for some clothes.

I have a mom who is trying to pay off an old overdue electric bill. The way she is paying now, it takes 20% of her payment now and applies it to her overdue bill. This is making it difficult for her to participate in required services to get her child back home. If the overdue bill can get paid off, she will have more funds available to complete her required services.

A vibrant, teenager girl who has recently came into foster care. Is wanting to attend summer camp. As summer break approaches she is hoping for a fun, full summer of activities.

A fun, energetic, playful, boy who has been in foster care only a few months is having his 11th birthday and would love to have a bicycle. Most of his friends have bicycles leaving him the option to try to borrow a bike or being left out.

This request is for help in reunifying a family and assisting with a barrier to achieve permanency for children. The parent will need to complete a hair strand drug analysis test to help move forward with the progress on their case and the cost of the hair strand drug analysis test is a barrier. The cost is $65 each for a 5-panel hair strand analysis test. Any assistance to help with this barrier would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! Updated on May 23, 2022 by an Agency Worker
We are still in need of assistance paying for a hair follicle test. This will help the natural father move forward in his case and toward reunification with his children by allowing him to show he is maintaining sobriety.
