Cedar Point Church

I am working with a 7 year old boy that has been placed in a kinship home but away from his 3 siblings. He does not have any toys that are age appropriate within the home and the foster family has asked for assistance. He likes cars, dinosaurs, Spiderman and super heroes. Any assistance offered would be greatly appreciated!

I am currently working with a family that is in Trial Reunification. The parents have been doing extremely well preserving the family, but are struggling to financially stay on top. I am requesting assistance for their electric bill to take some of the pressure off while they are working towards total financial stability. Any help you can give is appreciated!

A mother and her children have escaped their abuser and are starting all over. They have stayed in an emergency shelter for almost a year and has overcome many obstacles and barriers. This mother and children need support as they move into their very own place. Obtaining furnishings for their new place will help their success.

3 children who are sleeping on the floor are in need of beds. Helping these children with this need will not only strengthen their family but make the children's summer even better. The child's mother is currently going through a divorce and has no financial help.

Single mom with two children has recently gone to a domestic violence shelter. She is needing help with the cost of gas driving to her services and taking one child to summer school and one to daycare in another town that is 42 miles one way from the shelter. She is having to do this Monday thru Friday weekly. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

We have a family that is in need of assistance with childcare. The two children are living in the home of relatives who work full-time. There are two openings for the summer program at the facility and the family needs assistance paying for the enrollment fees. If this need is met it will help the relatives maintain employment and meet the other needs for the children. Thank you

I am asking for a donation or pair of shoes, and a sleeping bag for a 17 year old girl to attend Church Camp. After eight years of being in the foster care system, her mother was able to make lifestyle changes and turned to Christ. This girl is finally back in her mother's home, and turns to Christ for everything. She is having difficulties making friends, but finds solace with her church friends. The girl is a size 10 shoe, and is requesting blue or black platform Converse. Thank you!

We have two children that are being placed with family members after being removed from their home. The only family member available to take the children is needing financial assistance to put the children in Boys and Girls Club during the summer so she can continue working and the children can remain with family placement. Assisting the family will allow the children to remain in the placement with known family.

A young child in DHS custody is placed near the Tulsa county area. He is African American and his long hair requires a high level of care. He would benefit from having his hair in a protective style, such as braids or two strand twists. His hair currently has some knots in it which will need to be detangled as well. Detangling may cost extra at a braider. His foster parent is caring for other children as well as their elderly parent and does not currently have funding or the time needed to take this child to get his hair braided. We are requesting either funding to pay for his hair to be done with a braider, which would be between $95 and $150 dollars, or anyone experienced with African American hair willing to donate their time and services to wash, detangle, and braid his hair for free. This will be needed very soon. Having his hair detangled and braided would greatly improve this child's hygiene and wellbeing.

Please help a mother who works fulltime and cares for her child who has a chronic illness. The mother recently had to miss several days of work due to being in the hospital with her child, as a result the mother has fallen behind on her bills. The family's electric was turned off on 5-16. We would like to help assist the family with getting their power back on. Anything helps! Thank you.

A 15 yr old boy was placed in a kinship placement of a single foster parent. The foster placement is brand new and has not completed all the training. The foster placement is not receiving the stipend to care for the child. This particular child has had some behavior problems in the past when he was adopted which resulted in him entering back into care. The single female foster parent has reached out in need of assistance for two things. The child has made a lot of new friends in foster parents church and wants to go with the Youth Group to church camp but needs assistance with the funds to attend camp. Foster parent would have been able to make payments but the boys was not placed with her less than a month ago and the deadline for church camp fees is this coming Sunday. She is hoping the Youth Group will hold his place until the fee is paid. Also the foster parent is in need of a dresser to store the child's clothing. Foster parent has been searching but is unable to find anything suitable and affordable.

A biological father who is experiencing hardship after a return for prison and his children are in DHS custody. He is working from the ground up to rebuild his life to provide a better future for his children with the hopes they can reunify. This father has no transportation and has been walking every day to his current job. A bicycle would be helpful to get him around and make is easier for him to get to other places for the things he needs. He is interested in finding better employment and could use some socks, pants, and shirts to do so.
