We have grandparents on the road to adoption of their sweet grandson. The grandparents recently received a shelf to put in grandson’s room but need assistance with assembling it. We are hoping a volunteer can come and help the grandparents put this shelf together. If you can help, please reach out to us and let us connect you!

This family continues to struggle to make ends meet. Their family survived a fire but are left with putting the pieces back together. This family has three kids. The youngest is 2 and Mom stays home with him but Dad does work.

Single mom is needing assistance with air conditioning. Her air conditioner went out and the technician told her today that they will order the part tomorrow and it will not be here until the end of the week or possibly next week. They also said that if that did not fix it, she would need a new system that she cannot afford and would also take longer to get that installed. The house consists of foster mom, 2 adult children, 1 other adult, 3 children placed in the home through kinship and 4 children placed in the home through traditional foster care. One of the children has special needs. They do not have anywhere to stay as they stated they are the home that everyone comes to stay at. This is an emergency need due to the heat and the children being home all day. We are asking for any assistance with HVAC help/discounts or suggestions.

I’m reaching out with an urgent request to support a mother who is working hard to rebuild her life. After successfully getting back on her feet and maintaining sobriety, she recently encountered a major setback—she lost her job unexpectedly. She is actively seeking new employment and applying to several opportunities, but her rent for her sober living program is due this Friday, June 13th, and she is currently unable to cover the cost. Without assistance, she risks losing the stable and supportive housing that has been a critical part of her recovery journey. We are asking for any financial support you may be able to provide to help her cover this rent payment and stay on the path she’s worked so hard to stay on.

A hardworking father has made lots of progress toward reunifying with his three children, which are currently in his care and they are so close to being officially reunified with the case successfully closed. The father unfortunately lost his employment was able to quickly find new employment but is in need of some tools to begin his new opportunity. The father needs a screw gun, hammer, speed square, torpedo level, box knife, and tape measure. This parent has overcome numerous barriers and has almost reached the point of full self sufficiency for his family. Please help him overcome this new barrier with helping him to obtain some tools for his new job. The three children have also begun child care now that school is out, and there are activities at the child care center that require an extra fee of $20 per child to participate in activities at their child care.

Hello! We are walking beside a family who arrived in Oklahoma just a few months ago. They are in need of a rug sized around 8x10 for their living room and a TV no longer than 75”. Thank you for continuing to assist us in making Oklahoma a place of welcome!

Hello! Spero had the privilege two weeks ago of welcoming a family of 8 from Afghanistan. With 6 kids running around, they need a vacuum cleaner. Gently used is more than acceptable, and the family would be very grateful. Thank you!

At The Genesis Project, our mission is to uplift and empower youth by providing meaningful opportunities that build confidence, character, and lifelong skills.

This summer, one of the boys in our program is excited to participate in a summer football camp hosted by a local high school in our area. This 7-week program is designed to improve overall strength, speed, and agility, helping young athletes prepare mentally and physically for the season ahead.

To ensure he’s fully equipped and able to participate, we are kindly requesting support to help cover:

Camp registration fee: $150 Youth XL football helmet (Go To Link Youth XL shoulder pads (Go To Link Mouthpiece (Go To Link Personal water bottle (Go To Link

Your donation—whether covering the registration fee or providing new gear—will have a direct and lasting impact on his experience and development.

Thank you for being a part of this young man’s journey and supporting our work at The Genesis Project.

The Genesis Project has incorporated a "campus cash" store in which children are encouraged to earn "campus cash" and then purchase special items in the campus cash store. Children can earn "campus cash" by asking and completing extra chores, exhibiting positive behaviors with adults and peers, completing learning modules, and reaching therapy goals. The campus cash store has items that include new toys, books, remote controlled cars, hot wheels play sets, legos, new footballs, soccer balls, frisbees, squishy toys, fidgets, stuffed animals, and action figures. Once a week, the boys come to the campus cash store and purchase these items. The campus cash program teaches residents a variety of skills including money management, basic banking skills, saving skills, good purchasing skills, negotiation skills, and delayed gratification. This simple program helps develop a strong foundation for seeing how hard work and appropriate behaviors are rewarded for a basic life skill that will have a lasting impact through adulthood.
Our campus cash store is in need of "pre- teen" items. As each child is unique and has individual interests, the Genesis project is requesting gift cards to "Five and Below" stores. We are also interested in receiving donations of fishing tackle; men's body spray; NFL or OK university gear (caps, posters), cheap neck chains, magnetic dart boards, beanies, soccer slides, wallets, digital watches, snacks.

Placement of two children of my home has faced financial struggles since losing job. This placement has stepped up in a critical time for the family to help with placement for the children. They would greatly benefit from some financial assistance with their electric bill. The electric bill is $670 past due and was put on a payment arrangement due to financial struggles but have not been able to pay the payment arrangement so all past due amount is due within 48 hours.

Mother has worked hard to continue her engagement in her services but is facing transportation issues. Mother would benefit from a bus pass.
