A mother is struggling to securing housing and transportation to reunite with her daughter. She is in need of a bus pass to assist her with attending court ordered services for reunification. Please consider assisting by providing a 30 day bus pass to assist with the progress of the reunification of mother and daughter. Thank you.

This is a request from RestoreOKC. We have a participant in our workforce program who is in need of assistance with her OG&E bill. She found out recently that a charge was fraudulently applied to her account, and this charge applied an extra $500 to her account (someone she knows used her information to set up an account but did not pay the bill). The amount owed is now $800 and her electricity was turned off on Friday, the 22nd. She has filed with OG&E that this charge was fraudulent, but they have not yet completed an investigation. She has $200 to put toward the bill. She has reached out to other resources to get help, but has either been turned away or has not heard back. This mom has two children in the home with her. She is a hardworking person who has come against a very difficult situation and any help you can provide would mean a lot.

This mother is a mom of two. She currently does not have a vehicle or a way to get to important appointments or visits. It would be very helpful to receive bus passes for this family. She is working on reunifying with her children and is actively looking for a way to get to and from our office to see her children, as she currently lives 30 minutes away and does not have a strong support system. Any and all support would be greatly appreciated for this family. Thank you so much!

We have a young foster parent doing a kinship placement with their cousin. The teen boy is doing very well in the home and the family is getting him all the services that they need. This boy could use some clothing (Pants: 32 Shirt: M Shoe: 9) and a dresser for his room. If you can help, please reach out to us. Thank you!

A single mother of a 6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl, and 2-year-old girl fresh out of inpatient treatment, was recently able to move into a transitional living program so she can continue on her path of recovery. She was allowed to move in with just the deposit fee paid, but a monthly payment of $600 is required to stay in the program. This mother is currently unemployed as she just came out of inpatient treatment but is looking for employment as she must start work within two weeks of admission. Her children have been able to be with her, but if she is not able to maintain in this transitional living program, she does not have a safe place to go, and the children will have to return to foster care placement until she can get settled somewhere else. Assistance with this need will allow this family to remain together and make a fresh start.

I have a client whose child is in the hospital due to a complex medical condition. Hospital policy requires a person to have an ID to visit. My client has lost his ID and currently doesn't have the funds to get a new one. Since the child has been in the hospital this father has been unable to visit. Any help that could be provided to help this father replace his ID so he can visit his child at the hospital would be greatly appreciated.

We are seeking donations of Walmart gift cards to help support a 2-year-old child in foster care with severe developmental delays. When she entered custody at 15 months old, she was exclusively drinking milk. Since entering DHS custody, she has been in feeding therapy, working hard to transition to solid foods. Progress has been slow, and she currently relies on three pediatric nutritional shakes per day to support her growth and development.

Unfortunately, due to her age, neither insurance nor WIC will cover the cost of these shakes. The off-brand version costs around $10 for a six-pack—adding up to as much as $35 per week. Gift cards will be used exclusively to purchase these vital nutritional supplements.

Any support is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward helping this little one thrive. Thank you for considering!

There is a wonderful family friend who just took in a teen girl. Foster mom is a single mom raising 5 children of her own and works full-time. Foster mom’s youngest child has a terrible disease that leaves her in the hospital on a very consistent basis. One day, this disease will most likely be fatal. Foster mom has to be at the hospital with her sometimes until 3am and then go to work. On days she has to be at the hospital, she misses work without pay. Her youngest recently had pneumonia and has an enlarged liver which will have to result in an operation if the antibiotics do not respond. Foster mom is behind on her OGE and needs $98 to keep from getting her electric cut off on 5/28. We are hoping someone can meet this need for the family as foster mom is very stressed and making ends meet when her daughter is sick has been very tough. If you can help this family, please reach out to us and let us connect with you. Thank you.

This biological mother, who has worked hard to get her children home, is in need of living room couch and dining room table and chair. This will help make her two little boys more comfortable in the living room while they are playing games. The dining room table will enable them to eat dinner together and it will be a place where she can help them do their homework.

Foster mom has 4 children in her home and needs assistance with her utility bill. In May, everyone in the home was sick and she had to miss 2 weeks of work. Foster mom is the only adult in the home and there is no other income coming into the home. Finances are already tight, so this has caused stress on the family. If she is able to receive assistance for her utility bill, it would reduce her stress level and ensure the family's ability to afford to pay for other bills, food, etc.

We have a foster mom who just took in a teen girl. This teen came with almost nothing to the home and while we were able to provide a mattress, this teen girl still needs a bed frame and some bedding of her very own. She really enjoys her placement and has been dreaming of having her own bed and bedding. She has picked a bed frame out on Amazon that comes with drawers for her clothes and bedding that she will be so proud of. Every girl has dreams of her own room and her things, and she has never had that. We would love to provide that for her. If you can help this sweet girl, please reach out to us. Thank you.

We have an older sister fostering her youngest sister while raising three children of her own. She is a single mom and works everyday without a support system to help her. A few months ago, she was sick with Covid and had to take off work with no pay. She has been trying to catch up and it is hard for her to ask for help, especially with no family in Oklahoma. She really needs assistance with her bills as the girls are about to be out of school and she will have to pay for some childcare and extra groceries. Please reach out if you can help this amazing sister!
