We are reaching out on behalf of a devoted and hardworking grandmother who has recently taken in her 1-year-old grandson. She is providing a safe, nurturing, and loving home where the child is thriving and continuing to grow developmentally. At this time, the family is in need of two essential items: A vacuum cleaner to help maintain a clean and healthy home environment. A toddler bed to support the child’s transition into an age-appropriate sleeping space, which is important for his safety and development.

Providing these items will not only ease the grandmother’s responsibilities but also contribute positively to the well-being and growth of the toddler.

Our agency sincerely thanks you for your generosity and support in assisting this family during their time of need.

We have a young teen and a preteen that were just placed in a relative unlicensed kinship home. We were able to secure beds for them, but the family is needing twin bed sheets for the kids. The girl is 15 and the boy is 12. They could also use blankets and pillows.

I am working with a biological mother of five children. Mom is compliant with services and recognizes she needs help achieving sobriety. Mom has agreed to go to medical detox followed by inpatient care. Mom has identified past due rent as a barrier that would postpone or potentially prevent her from going to detox and inpatient care. Mom's monthly rent is just below $200 a month and she is behind by three months. Mom is currently looking for employment in order to pay the past due balance but could prioritize her sobriety and postpone job seeking if there was no past due balance.

I have a 9 year old foster child that needs some additional summer clothes. Foster Mother is a single parent and has been able to get some items, but it has been difficult to keep up due to a recent growth spurt. Foster Mother is doing the best she can and would greatly appreciate any assistance. Please see items with estimated sizes below (size varies and it is better if she can try on the items). Thank you

3 pairs of Girls’ jean shorts (size 8-9) 3 pairs of Girls’ athletic shorts (size 9-10) 3 Girls’ tank tops w/wide shoulder coverage not spaghetti straps (size 9-10) 1 Toiletry Bag for Camp

A sweet family took placement of a child in March, and they are not receiving any financial assistance from OKDHS at this time. Throughout the placement, the family has managed their finances well. After paying their monthly expenses at their original location this month, they were informed their landlord sold the property and requested the family to move immediately; after making all required bill payments and rent at the location. The family has located a new residence. They were able to make the initial deposit and take care of moving expenses. However, they are now short of $300 for rent for the new residence.
They have reached out to community resources and have been unsuccessful with obtaining assistance. As a last resort the family has reached out to OKDHS for assistance to help cover the remaining $300. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Without having the added expenses for the future months to come, the family will be back on track in managing their bills. The family and I thank you for any assistance you can provide.

We have a mother who has six children who is in need of new/used washing machine, and two twin beds. The NM is not working at this time and has ran out of options. The NM is in the process of making serious changes in her life and would like assistance.

The Demand Project (TDP) exists to eradicate human trafficking, online enticement, child sexual abuse material, and the commercial sexual exploitation of children. One of the ways we do this is through our residential campus for teen girls who have been victim of this. Currently we are looking for a modest bathing suit for one of the residents we serve who has the opportunity to attend a church camp in a couple of weeks. To help make the shopping easier I have included a link to Amazon. We are looking for a XXL in the teal or blue color scheme. If you are able to help fill this need, you can ship it to our office at 5065 S 79th E Ave Tulsa, OK or ship it to yourself and drop it off at the office. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you so much for helping us serve these girls!

The department is currently working with a family who is without a personal vehicle. At this time, the parents are temporarily living apart from their two young children, aged 1 and 2 years old. Reliable transportation is essential for them to attend all scheduled visits and critical appointments related to reunification efforts and support services. Providing bus passes would greatly assist these parents in maintaining consistent involvement in their children's lives and meeting the necessary requirements to work toward reunification. Any support in helping them access public transportation would be deeply appreciated.

After a long wait, living in cramped quarters with extended family, a single mother of a 2-year-old boy, 3-year-old girl, and a baby boy on the way, just got approved for a new apartment. She's currently in between jobs and would appreciate help with the deposit and first month's rent to expedite her move.

A family is working a prevention case with OKDHS. Two young kids are currently placed out of home while the parents work hard to correct conditions to make it safe for the children to return home.

She needs to get it running to be able to have transportation back and forth to work. The car needs a battery and an alternator to be operational. We are asking for help with providing this family with a battery and an alternator to help provide transportation for her employment and to allow her to visit her kids more often since she will not have to share a vehicle.
