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!

Good afternoon. I’m Christina Flowers, a school-based specialist with Union Public Schools. I’m currently working with a family that consists of a single mother with five children 7 years old and younger. This mom recently started a new job and fell behind on her rent while in between jobs.

She stated with assistance she’ll be able to maintain her rent moving forward. The monthly rent is $1200, the outstanding balance is $2750, but any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Foster parents are asking help to enroll child in summer school near their residence. The summer school registration and fees are total $700 to Spark and classes start next week. In order to get the $700 amount has to be paid by May 31st. The child is below academically and cannot read or write. The child is like a 5-year-old child who was in 4th grade. Child’s teacher and school recommend child to attend summer school before entering 5th grade. Child is supported by foster parents who bought the child new things in the placement; however foster parents do not have the funds to meet this need at this time and would really like this child to go to summer school to catch up. This would help child move onto 5th grade and increase child's self-esteem. Child has behaviors in school due to not being able to be at grade level and refuses to do math because child cannot read word problems unless teacher reads it to child or foster parents help with child one-on-one. Summer school will give child education that the foster parents wish for this child.

We are in the process of reunifying a mother and her young daughter. This little girl has not been in custody for very long, but her mother has committed herself fully to changing the conditions that brought her into custody in order to bring her daughter home. As this mom is without a driver's license or vehicle, we have provided her with a bus pass to assist with transportation. In order to assist further, this mom has requested a bicycle to use for independent transportation as well. This request is for a bicycle with a basket for an adult woman. Any help is greatly appreciated! This request can be fulfilled via donation as well, we do not need a brand new bicycle. If anyone has a spare that would fit an adult woman (about 5 foot 5 inches tall), that would work as well!

This mom needs help replacing the items that were inside the truck. These items include 1 booster seat, 2 five-point harness car seats, and a bed for mom.
