Mom was able to acquire $400. Mom is still in need of $800. Thank you

There are two parent to 5 children who need a queen size bed. They had to throw theirs out due to bed bugs. There children just got new beds and these two parents are still sleeping on the floor.

Mother of five children (age 3 to 14) has to relocate for a second time after experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. Mother has secured new housing, however due to an unexpected bill she is now in need of assistance with paying her first month’s rent. The monthly rent is $1,500. Mother does have $1,100 she is able to pay and only needs assistance with $400. Mother is due to move in on Saturday, 04/19/25. Providing any assistance will help ensure that Mother and her children do not face homelessness for a second time and will provide a safe and loving home for the whole family.

This family is working with Oklahoma Human Services due to concerns about domestic violence in the home. Since our involvement, a kinship placement has been taking care of the two children until the biological mother can get on her feet. Currently the biological mother has had many setbacks and has continued to bounce back from those setbacks. However, this kinship placement has taken on the responsibility of both children at their own expense. At this time, this family could use assistance with gas costs (whether a gas card or meeting the family to fill up their vehicle a couple times) to help transport these children to the doctor’s appointments and help get biological mother to her needed visits with her children. Please consider helping meet this need to ensure these children are able to remain in a stable placement until going back home with their mother. Thank you!

Hello! I have a wonderful grandmother on my caseload who has guardianship of her eldest granddaughter, and is doing kinship foster care for the youngest (which will likely turn into guardianship). Her little one is growing and is now coming up on 17 months old, and as you can imagine, her needs are much different than when she first came into custody. This grandmother could really use a new stroller for this little one. The kiddo is quickly outgrowing the one she has and that will eventually become a safety concern. This grandma is out here doing the absolutely most, working full time, and is raising these two girls by herself. I would love to take this simple request for an item off her plate and make her life a little easier. I do have an example of what she is wanting so if you reach out, I can provide a photo. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Mother of three children (ages 5, 6, and 8) is a survivor of domestic violence and relocated to Oklahoma from Texas due to her oldest child experiencing child abuse. All criminal and civil legal matters have recently been concluded, and Mother has relocated to a new address to provide additional safety for her and her children. Mother is currently employed but is facing financial barriers with her monthly rent of $1,209. At this time Mother needs assistance with $400 for the month of May 2025, and would be appreciative of any additional financial assistance to help offset future financial burdens. Providing assistance to this family will ensure that Mother can provide a stable, safe, and loving home for her children.

Help strengthen a bio family. They are in need of help with electricity and water bills as they just moved out of a domestic violence situation!

Doe is a single mom who fled domestic violence with her two children. She has just found housing and is on her way to stability. Currently, her unit is not furnished- and she is needing a table and chairs. The table would be used for her to pursue schooling, for her children to do work at, and for them to eat together as a family.

The only requirement is that the table has three chairs.

A 17-year-old boy living in a group home is in need of some additional clothing, as he's lost some over different transitions and growth spurts. His sizes are 3x for tops and pants (he'd like hoodies and joggers) and he wears an 11.5 shoe. He likes green and black mostly to wear and does not wear jeans or non-stretchy pants. Anything to help support him as he starts his journey to aging out would be appreciated. He mentioned he can usually find things he likes at Ross.

Bio mom obtained new housing and needs assistance with the electric startup fee being paid.

This request is being made to help an adoptive family out. This family has opened their home to their niece who is a little over a year old and are providing for all her cares and needs. The family is concerned that she is about to grow out of her crib and is looking to get a bunk bed for the room because she shares the room with another child in the home. The room is smaller and that is why they are wanting assistance with a bunk bed.

Hello! I am working with parents on a reunification case. Both parents are working hard on their services to help them to correct conditions that lead to their child coming into OKDHS custody. The parents are having difficulty paying their rent. They are currently behind for last month in the estimated amount of $450.00 The total for their rent is $875.00 One parent is working, and the other is actively looking for a job. Helping these parents would help them to get back on their feet until they can both be working full-time and making enough to pay all their bills. Thank you for your consideration in helping these parents!
