There are two biological parents who are in need of gas cards to help them maintain employment and allow for increased visitation with their 3 young children. The increased visitation will allow the case to move towards reunification for the children and their biological family. Parents have made huge strides towards reunification and are working hard towards achieving permanency for their children. A gas card would tremendously help the family and would be appreciated.

Loving kinship placement is in need of help obtaining a fire extinguisher to ensure safety for a newborn, and to meet policy requirements as a foster home. Only one working foster parent in the home therefore income is limited. Thank you so much in advance for helping this family in need!

Mom lives in Texas and has made great strides to get back on track and has done so. She is currently taking care of her other child safely and financially and has paid off all her debt to get back to Oklahoma. The child recently lost his only other family member (grandmother) in which the child had a strong bond a couple of months ago from organ failure. Mom has secured the money for the Uhual; paid off all outstanding debts and has the funds for the 1st months’ rent on the new apartment in Tulsa; but is just short of the deposit. The kiddo has been placed in a new foster home and bio mom has attended and participated in all services with OKDHS, including making a complete lifestyle change to do so.

I have a family of 2 adults, and 5 children ages 9, 12, 13, 15, and 17. The younger 3 children report never having beds to sleep on. They report sleeping on air mattresses up until this last week when they popped, to where they are sleeping on tile floors with a blanket. The family needs assistance with beds, mattresses, sheets and pillows. Assisting this family getting mattresses will help these children get a good nights rest to thrive in academics, sports and day to day life. Christmas is coming up and would make their Holiday season special!

A single mom who was reunited with her children, is needing some assistance with rent during the holidays. She is the sole provider for her family with children that have medical needs, ages 2 (boy) and age 4 (female).

Any assistance towards her rent this holiday season would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed please contact Case Worker.

A SINGLE MOTHER NEEDS HELP. A single mother does not have transportation right now. She is needing a way to get around and a bus pass would be a great help so she can make her appointments. She does not have many supports that can help her and a 31- day bus pass could be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If unable to obtain twin beds I believe we could make futon bed frames work as they appear to have futon mattresses but not the appropriate frames.
