Called to Care

A single mom supporting her family, including her mother and two children with mental health and behavioral needs, is in urgent need of two twin beds-one for each child. Any help is deeply appreciated.

We have been working with a family of three in Payne County for about two months. The home consists of a single mother of two very young girls. The mother has been working on maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for her children. She is working hard to be able to provide for her girls but often struggles due to low income. The mother would like assistance in obtaining funds to enroll in a driving school. The driving school in Cushing is called Safety First Driving Academy and the cost is $420. By providing this resource, the mother would be given the opportunity to gain more independence and provide more for her children, giving the family a feeling of being supported by the community. We appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!!

Mom is needing a dresser with 4 drawers to be able to put away the kids clothes right now they are in trash bags and this would help them to be able to be more orginized and the kids would be able to keep track of their clothes.

We are currently working with a dedicated family of four in Payne County who are focusing on improving their living conditions. The household consists of a mom, two young daughters, and a son. Right now, they need a couch for their living room, gently used would also be wonderful. Meeting this need will allow them to focus on other financial obligations. Your support will not only provide essential assistance but also uplift this family's determination and sense of community. Thank you for considering this request—your generosity can make a lasting difference!

A mother of a 4 yr old is needing a lock box to keep remotes in at night. The mother has been working on strategies to help her child with his sleep difficulties. The mom has been trying to put remotes up high, but her son will find a way to get them. A lock box will help assist mom in creating a calming bedtime routine without distractions. This child also has severe sensory seeking issues and a small trampoline would help tremendously. Here is a link to the lock box and trampoline: Go To Link Go To Link

We are currently working with a family of eight in Payne County, consisting of a mother, father, grandmother, three girls, and two boys. This is a foster family and they have limited income. Over the past month, the family has made significant efforts to improve their living situation and is currently in the process of moving. They are in need of a $50 Visa gift card to cover laundry expenses at the laundromat. Providing this assistance would help them continue managing other financial responsibilities during this transition. Your support would offer meaningful relief, reinforce the family’s progress, and remind them that they are part of a caring and supportive community. Thank you for considering this request, your generosity and dedication are truly appreciated.

A mother and her 2 kids (8 months old and 4 years old) are needing help with rent. Their rent is $1800 and the mother splits it with her brother who just recently was laid off and is unable to pay his part of the rent. The children's grandmother also lives in the home, but she is unable to work. The mother is also short on her part of the rent due to her husband taking her car without her knowledge and totaling it. The husband is currently in jail for DUI. The mother missed some work since her car was totaled. They are needing help with $1200 of the rent.

A foster home is needing a bed for their teenage placement. The teen is currently sleeping in a broken bed frame. Helping this family purchase a bed will allow their foster child to live comfortably and feel at home.

A foster family is accepting placement of a new child tomorrow. They are in need of a bunk bed, one twin mattress and a dresser (Rubbermaid drawers would work) in order to arrange bedrooms.

I have a maternal aunt that took placement of her 3 nieces and nephews. The aunt has been using an air mattress for the 8 year old nephew but is needing a twin mattress due to the nephew staying placed in her home longer than expected. Any assistance on obtaining a twin mattress for this family would be greatly appreciated.
