Our school nurse is in need of items she would like to distribute to students in need. Items include mini hair brushes, lice treatments, and children's underwear (sizes 4 - 8), sweatpants and leggings (sizes 4 - 6), and a pack of thermometers. We have students whose hair is not being comb and they are developing knots on their hair. We also have started to see lice in some of the children's hair and some of our families cannot afford to pay for a lice treatment. As for the children underwear and clothing items, those are use when our students have an accident and they do not have a change of clothes. These items are used on a daily basis and it is difficult to maintain in stock. Lastly, the thermometers will be used for our nurse to hand out to our families when their child is sick. Some of our families do not know when their child is running a fever and our nurse would like to provide some education on how to use a thermometer and what is consider to be a safe temperature to send students to school. These items will help our students be successful in school and provide aide to our working families.

Hello, I am a school based worker with DHS. I am currently working with a family who needs a queen sized mattress. They have a frame. Thank you so much.

Mom is working overtime trying to get caught up. Every little amount she can save, she saves toward transportation to make her family's life easier. Right now, assistance with formula for the baby would be a great help and would enable her to put a little bit more in that transportation fund! This little boy is a good eater and quickly overcoming his health issues. He eats Gerber Goodstart Gentle Pro (the orange label formula). Assistance with formula will be very much appreciated and will do more for this family than anyone can imagine!

Now that mom is alone in heading the household it can be a struggle to keep the bills paid. This woman has had a lot of (too much) tragedy over the past several years; it's a lot to deal with while raising a child. This month the electric bill is way behind and disconnection is close to reality. Mom needs some help with the bill; it will require $153.00 to keep the service on, but another $465.00 to pay the bill entirely. Any assistance with all or part of this bill is very much appreciated and would be a great help.

Child is currently in a shelter in southern Oklahoma. She has the opportunity to be with a previous foster home placement for the holidays, so she is not in the shelter alone.
