A family is in need of immediate assistance. The family consist of mother, father and five beautiful children ages 15, 10, 8, 13 and a newborn. This family has experienced some financial hardships over the past several months. The mother just had her baby and was out on maternity leave. The father hasn’t had stable work and has been in between jobs. As a result, this family has gotten behind on their bills. This family doesn’t have any other financial support from family or friends as they have been struggling financially themselves. This family has sought financial assistance by contacting other resources but they were unsuccessful. This family is now facing eviction and the court hearing is tomorrow. This family is in need of $2,139. This family has done their best to maintain their other bills and get caught up on their rent. This family was making partial payments but now the full amount is required. This family has expressed worry and fear of getting evicted and not being able to provide for their children. We know this is a huge financial ask and we're not trying to put burdens on an individual who is willing to contribute to this family. However, if those who are willing to contribute can ban together as a community to help fulfill this request, this family would be grateful. Thank you for any assistance you're able to provide for this family.

Please consider helping a mother and father with a new convertible car seat for their baby. Today is their baby girl's first birth day and she is in need of a bigger car seat. The parents have been progressing in their case and have been able to move to unsupervised family time with their daughter. They are also transporting her during their family time together. They were previously able to use the foster parents' car seat and were not prepared to have to buy a new one just yet. A new car seat is a big expense for them as they do not have much money. Thank you for your consideration.

A father needs some financial assistance with a Parenting Capacity Evaluation. This will ensure the safety and ability for a parent to be able to parent his children. This testing will ensure that the parent has an understanding of the children's needs, has the ability to create an emotionally safe environment and recommend any services needed to increase parenting abilities. The test is a large financial burden and this amount is the remaining amount that will help get the evaluation scheduled.

Hello! Tulsa County recently removed a 13 year old female who will be staying in a Claremore, Rogers County foster home. This child was removed due to abandonment and was not allowed to take any clothing with her. We have found some items for her but it would mean a great deal to this child to have something to claim as her own. She is sweet, kind, and when you first meet her she lights up the room. She has hopes and dreams to become a forensic pathologist and loves all animals. She enjoys the color pink. When speaking with her she believes that the size clothing that she wears is around a size Small-Medium in shirts and size 0-3 in pants. She is currently wearing a 14/16 in children sizes that are a little small. She also wears a size 7.5 in shoes. She is such a fantastic kid. I know with the communities help it would be a great encouragement to help her with these needs. We as a community can help make this child feel loved and know that she is not in this alone. Thank you for all your assistance!
