We have a foster parent who stepped up when a placement was desperately needed for a hard to place teenager. Our kiddo, when placed, was excited to tell the worker that he had a homemade meal for the first time in a long time! This foster parent has not been fully approved and has an issue with the gas bill. After taking care of our custody child without payment, the foster mom went ahead and took placement of the sibling. These two had not lived together since coming into custody two years ago! The foster parent has gone beyond the call of duty, even spending time at the hospital with our teenager while he had open heart surgery and did all the follow up requirements after the surgery that included him having to have an oxygen tank. This foster mom has helped these kiddos so much, please help us to now help her.

I have a mom who is trying to get reunification of her four children. She and her spouse have split so she is trying to pay the rent of $1000 per month all by herself and she is receiving SSI.

Kinship foster mom has stepped up to care for 4 nieces (13, 12, 2, 7 months. These girls have experienced a very traumatic, difficult life. The foster mom has rearranged her life and house to care for the children. She takes them to all their appointments and show a great deal of love and caring for them. She is doing an amazing job! The three older girls are having to share a room and the three beds make the room feel constricted. Foster mom is looking to get the girls a triple bunk bed. This will give the girls the floor space they need to play or move around. If you could assist in any way, I would be happy to connect you with foster mom. Foster mom has stated that she is greatly appreciative of any help that is given. Thank you for your assistance! Attached is a link of a possible option. ###-####

A tulsa county kinship family is in high need for assistance with their natural gas bill. Oklahoma Natural Gas has disconnected the family from their gas service, and the family has no additional funds to help pay for the outstanding bill. The family consists of a single mother, a son, and two foster children. Foster mom was unfortunately let go from her position at work due to unforseen circumstances, and has had difficulty securing a new position. She continues to be incredibly patient and flexible, and steps up to gain placement of additional relatives with no other place to go. The current outstanding balance is approximately $587. Any and all assistance in bringing this balance lower will be greatly appreciated and will help bring this family back to a sense of normalcy and well deserved comfort.

A mother and a father recently had a baby boy come into custody. They are involved in services and have already initiated drug testing and substance abuse treatment. They have a car, but cannot get it tagged due to fines from late toll payments. Until they can pay off the fines, they are without transportation. We are asking for a bus pass for each parent so they can get to their services and court hearings. This would provide a practical need and remove a barrier to working toward reunification. Thank you for all the wonderful help you provide!

We are requesting 2 bus passes in order to assist the parents to getting to their required services, grocery shopping, medical appointments, etc.
