Family that has fallen on hard times. This bill is due today.

Hello all, I am hoping you can help a very dear family. They are 5 adults and 2 children, living in a household that are looking for rental assistance. The family had to leave a previous location due to being uninhabitable, and the previous landlord did not correct the issues. The family has exhausted other resources by staying with other family members and was even homeless for a day. The family was able to obtain a They were able to find a place to stay, but are in need of deposit for the rental by this Saturday (2 days from now). The deposit is $1500. The family is unable to come up with the deposit due to fixing their vehichle which is their only mean for transportation, allowing them to work. Meeting this immediate need for this family will allow them to maintain shelter.

A single mother of a 6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl, and 2-year-old girl is completing inpatient substance abuse treatment next week and has been accepted into a transitional living program so she can continue on her path of recovery. Payment of a program fee and the security deposit is required in order to move in. This mother is currently unemployed due to being in treatment but does have a job waiting for her as soon she relocates. Her children have been able to be with her while she is inpatient, but if she is not able to secure her spot in this transitional living program, she does not have a safe place to go, and the children will have to return to foster care placement until she can get settled somewhere. Assistance with this need will allow this family to remain together and make a fresh start.

A mother is in need of a bus pass as she does not have a car of her own. She has to take the bus to work, to her required services, and to visitation with her child and struggles to afford the pass without assistance. Providing this pass will give her a greater chance of completing what is required for her to reuinify with her child.

We are currently working with a kinship foster home who has taken in a 10 year old boy. The family is working hard on getting fully approved and connecting the child to appropriate needs. The family is needing support with a bill until they are consistently receiving assistance from DHS. If you feel that you can support the family in this need let me know and I would be happy to connect.

I have been working with a family taking them food. I also got them some help getting a portion of their electric bill paid. The student is a plus size kid that needs 5x t-shirts. The locations I have access too did not have any t-shirts in his size. A 3 pack of t-shirts on amazon is approximately $40 for his size. He has clothing but most of what he has is torn or full of holes. He gets picked on at school because of it and causes him to get in trouble or not attend school.

This request is for neighbors of RestoreOKC. This is an older couple raising their teenage children ages 13, and 14 who need household furniture for the whole house, and they also need rental assistance. The mother and father are unable to work due to health conditions. The father receives SSI, and it was recently stolen, and SSI is doing an investigation on the report. So, this has put the family behind for rent from last month. RestoreOKC would love for a church to come along and help this family with support, love and kindness.

This request is for a participant of RestoreOKC. This single mother is looking for a stackable washer and dryer for her home. She has recently moved in to a home that is better suited for her and her son, but she didn't have a washer and dryer to move into it, and now is having to do her laundry outside of the home. If you have any resources to help with this, she would greatly appreciate it!

Please help this single mother and her 3 kids facing eviction. This client incurred a $100 fee to her apartment rent and isn't able to pay it. She is severely ill and unable to work and is in urgent need to keep her and her children from losing their housing.

RestoreOKC's neighbor is a mother of five children who is needing clothes for her children. She has three boys, ages 8, 13, and 16, and two girls ages 4 and 5 years old. She needs clothes for all of her children, and the 8 year old also needs clothes for a school uniform. The mother would be grateful for any help with this matter, and we would love a church to help support this family in their time of need.
