We are currently working with a family of 9 in Payne County. The father recently became unemployed and the family is down to one income. The family has limited space in their home and need assistance with some organizational items. The family could use a shower caddy or shower shelves [preferably the shelves if available]. The family is motivated to work on their goals and have been cooperative during services. Any assistance for this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your ongoing support!

A SINGLE MOTHER NEEDS HELP. A single mother does not have transportation right now. She is needing a way to get around and a bus pass would be a great help so she can make her appointments. She does not have many supports that can help her and a 31- day bus pass could be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Burmese Family #1 Catholic Charities will welcome a Burmese refugee family in December. This family is a mom with three teenagers. We do not have beds for the family and would welcome help providing the family with beds. I do not have a firm date for when they will arrive in December, but we will set up their apartment on December 4th. Then after they are welcomed at the airport, they will go straight to their furnished apartment with their case manager! Gender Neutral Items are best. Catholic Charities will walk with this family thru immediate case management for 3 months after their arrival. We will help with apartment set up, legal documents (like SS#), job placement, establishing medical care, enrolling the kids in school, and much more. Helping the family with household items is a huge way to help the family get established in Tulsa!
