Hello all. We have a mother who is in Trial Reunification with her child and needing help getting to her scheduled appointments with her service provider. We appreciate you taking the time to consider this request.

I am working with a biological mother and kinship placement of a beautiful four year old girl and one handsome little one year old. Mom is attempting to engage in services but is facing many barriers. Her phone has been shut off due to no payment and she is not able to call to find out when she is supposed to submit for UA's (and more). She has not found a job yet and is struggling to provide diapers or wipes or essential items to provide for the children during her family visits. Foster Mom, grandma, is not able to help with the necessary items because she is not financially able. Mom needs assistance with her phone bill, a stocked diaper bag for the children (which would include nonperishable food items for growing toddler and big sister), and a gas card to ensure she is able to get to recommended service providers. Grandma could use help with diapers and wipes as well.

A family of 3 is in need of help paying their electric bill. Mom has made a lot of progress in her services and has been able to reintegrate the children back into her home and is now looking for a job. However, she fell behind on her electric bill and is in need of some assistance until she secures a job.

We are asking for assistance for a young mother who is working to reunify with her infant daughter. This mother has been struggling to maintain housing and does not have transportation of her own. She is now working 2 jobs and staying in a hotel. We are asking for assistance in the form of a Tulsa Metrolink bus pass to help her get to and from work, services and family time. Thank you in advance!

I have foster parents who are caring for their nephew and their air conditioning has gone out for the second time and they're unable to to fix it or purchase a window AC unit of their own at this time. They would be extremely grateful to receive any assistance to help them get through the summer.

Upon meeting with a family, DHS worker was visiting with a family and was informed of various financial struggles. The family is past due on 2 or more bills including their electricity and internet bill. The amount in the request is the full PSO amount. The Cox bill is in the $100+ area. The family experienced a break-in in March and had many of their valuables stolen. Two of the children in the home are on the Autism spectrum, one is facing legal troubles and the other has serious heart defect. Only one of the parents is working full time while the other stays home with the children. They do not receive any state benefits other than Sooner Care.

Three children, ages 4, 5, 7, are placed with their grandparents. The grandparents were initially going to purchase beds but were unable to due to the financial stain of taking in the children. The family needs a bunk bed and another bed to accommodate the three children. The family will need mattresses for the beds as well. Twin sized beds and mattresses will work the best due to limited space.

A single mother, who has been experiencing homelessness for several years, is working to reunify with her 13-year-old daughter. Her greatest need is to establish safe housing, but a past-due water bill of $417.40 is preventing her getting an apartment. Any help towards paying off this debt would be greatly appreciated.

An expectant mother in trial reunification with her 2 toddlers, a 3-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy, just started a new job and would greatly appreciate a gas card to get her and the kids to daycare, work shifts, appointments, and meetings.

This is an unapproved relative kinship placement. A 6m old has been placed with his aunt and is in need of a couple things to help preserve the placement. The family is needing a crib, crib mattress, dressers for storage of kids clothes, and a baby gate. Anything that can be provided will help!

Kinship Foster/Great-Grandparents are in need of a twin mattress to accommodate relative child placed in their care. The child is currently utilizing a toddler bed but the room is shared with other children in the home. A bunkbed has been secured to accommodate for room size. Only one twin mattress is needed. Thank you!
