I have a natural mother who is unemployed and not able to purchase her own bus pass. The natural mother needs assistance with a bus pass to attend her family time with her infant daughter, attend her treatment plan, and attend court hearings. The natural mother is also homeless at this time.

A kinship foster mother who is the grandmother to teen child placed with her has two shut off notices. One shut off notice is for electric and one shut off notice is for her gas. She also owes back rent to her landlord. This foster mother is currently trying to become fully approved but has had to miss some of her training due to her car breaking down and she has had to use much of her money to repair her car. I have confirmed these needs by receiving copies of her shut off notices. If these needs aren't met the child may have to placed in a traditional home and not stay with his grandmother whom he has had a relationship with during his entire life.

Two parents have worked extremely hard to get their baby back. They have done extraordinarily well. Income is tight, and they ride bikes to get where they need to go. A bike buggy to assist them in taking the baby with them would be super helpful. The child has been back in the home for a few months and is doing so well with his parents. Again a new or used bike buggy (they have bikes) would be fantastic to helping them.

I have a mother that has an in home petition. She is needing repairs for a broken front door and she's also in need of dressers for 2 of her children as the ones she currently has are broken. This would help strengthen this family so that clothes are not thrown around and can easily be found.

A single mother of a newborn is fully engage in services with Family and Children's to obtain her own housing. The mother has overcame several conditions and doing very well but is still in need of items when she obtains her housing. The maternal grandmother has storage unit in town that is willing to place the items received in storage unit until the housing is secure very soon. The mother is grateful and eager looking forward to any help to make her fulfilled with items. The mother is in need of living room furniture, kitchen table, any kitchen items and crib. I have also spoken with the mother's case worker that confirmed the mother is doing very well and moving forward with obtaining stable housing.

We are currently working with a mom of two (9 and 2). She is also expecting twin boys in a couple months. She is in trial reunification with the boys and is doing great in engaging in services. Mom is currently struggling with transportation though. She does not have her driver's license and is relying on other's help to get around with the two boys. She does pay for gas money for the people that help, but with the rising cost of gas, it is getting more difficult to prepare for the twins. Between her and the boys' appointments and engaging in her services, it is becoming more difficult to balance everything when it comes to transportation. Additionally, she could use a dresser for the boys. It will allow her to be more organized and prepared before the arrival of the twins. If you feel that you can assist in any way, even partially, I would be happy to connect you to the her. Mom is greatly appreciative of any help provided.

We are currently working with a mom who has found a stable home for her and her two kids (ages 1 and 5). She was approved for the home, but just needs help with her deposit so she can move in as soon as as possible. Mom just returned home from completing her out-of-state treatment, so does not have the ability to come up with the deposit in the time needed. She is needing assistance with the large deposit of $500. This home means a lot to her. It will allow her to have a stable place to reside while she secures a job that gives her a steady, reliable income and allows for her to maintain the home. She is looking forward to engaging in the rest of her services and is hopeful to being reunified with her children. If you feel that you can assist in any way, even partially, I would be happy to connect you to mom.

We have a 3-year-old child that is currently having unsupervised visits with their father. The child is placed 90+ miles away from Tulsa and the father could use a help with gas expenses as the prices continue to rise. This father has been able to provide a home for him and his child and is waiting for Trial Reunification to begin while he makes multiple round trips to and from to see his child and is currently having overnight visits on Saturday's. Meeting this request will allow the father to continue to pick-up and drop-off his child on the weekends, help with a faster reunification date to occur and help maintain an attachment the father and child share with one another.

We have the most wonderful kiddo in custody who has been looking for a family for a very long time. He went on a visit last weekend and the family fell in love with him and is willing to become his long term foster home! However, the family was not planning for this and has some needs that are required by foster care that we need to help them with. They have a bed and mattress but no box spring, however the ceiling in the room they plan to use is very low. We are needing help with a 4-6 inch twin sized box spring, 2 smoke detectors, and a fire extinguisher. Not having these things in the next few days will prevent this baby from being able to stay and will mean he has to return to the shelter. The family and I are so grateful in advance for your help for this very deserving kiddo.
