Burmese Family #2 Catholic Charities will welcome another Burmese refugee family in December. This family is parents with an 8 year old. We do not have beds for the family and would welcome help providing the family with beds. I do not have a firm date for when they will arrive in December, but we will set up their apartment on December 4th. Then after they are welcomed at the airport, they will go straight to their furnished apartment with their case manager! It is always a joy to see the family's peace as they enter their new fully furnished apartment. Gender Neutral Items are best. Catholic Charities will walk with this family thru immediate case management for 3 months after their arrival. We will help with apartment set up, legal documents (like SS#), job placement, establishing medical care, enrolling their child in school, and much more. Helping the family with household items is a huge way to help the family get established in Tulsa!

A family needs a toddler bed, mattress, and bedding for their 2 year old daughter. Currently their daughter is sleeping with them in their bed or on a pallet on the floor.

Worker priced beds on Walmart.com. Toddler beds range from $40 to $75, Crib mattresses $35 to $40, and Toddler bedding $25 to $35 (a crib sheet and blanket would be okay too)

Please help us continue to keep children safe and comfortable by assisting with getting beds for three children, ages 5, 9, and 11.

The father has put the needs of his children first, but needs an extra amount of help in order to improve his children's' lives. We appreciate any help given to this family. Blessings!
