I am working with a biological mother of five children. Mom is compliant with services and recognizes she needs help achieving sobriety. Mom has agreed to go to medical detox followed by inpatient care. Mom has identified past due rent as a barrier that would postpone or potentially prevent her from going to detox and inpatient care. Mom's monthly rent is just below $200 a month and she is behind by three months. Mom is currently looking for employment in order to pay the past due balance but could prioritize her sobriety and postpone job seeking if there was no past due balance.

I have a 9 year old foster child that needs some additional summer clothes. Foster Mother is a single parent and has been able to get some items, but it has been difficult to keep up due to a recent growth spurt. Foster Mother is doing the best she can and would greatly appreciate any assistance. Please see items with estimated sizes below (size varies and it is better if she can try on the items). Thank you

3 pairs of Girls’ jean shorts (size 8-9) 3 pairs of Girls’ athletic shorts (size 9-10) 3 Girls’ tank tops w/wide shoulder coverage not spaghetti straps (size 9-10) 1 Toiletry Bag for Camp

Hello! I have a 15 year old girl who just recently reunited with her bio mom. She has been through a few placements before getting back to bio mom and would love to have some things she has lost along the way! She is in need of tennis shoes size 8 in women's. She had weighted blankets she lost in a previous home and needs those as well. She would love some summer clothes/dresses, she wears size medium in shirts/dresses. She is petite and Caucasian. She likes make-up and likes to dye her hair temporary colors. She would be grateful for anything else that can be gifted or donated for a teenage 15 year old girl! Thank you!!

We have a 15 year old boy who was placed in OHS custody last night in Tulsa. He's only been in Oklahoma for one month and hasn't made many connections. He's currently in the office waiting for placement. Placement searches can take many hours since the search includes all placements across the state. This teen is needing hygiene items and groceries while he's in the office.

The request for hygiene items and groceries would include products for African American teen males such as body wash/soap, hair products, deodorant. Nonperishable food items such as microwavable noodles, bread, peanut butter, fruit cups, cereal, snack packs.

These items will enhance his wellbeing by meeting physical needs.

A sweet family took placement of a child in March, and they are not receiving any financial assistance from OKDHS at this time. Throughout the placement, the family has managed their finances well. After paying their monthly expenses at their original location this month, they were informed their landlord sold the property and requested the family to move immediately; after making all required bill payments and rent at the location. The family has located a new residence. They were able to make the initial deposit and take care of moving expenses. However, they are now short of $300 for rent for the new residence.
They have reached out to community resources and have been unsuccessful with obtaining assistance. As a last resort the family has reached out to OKDHS for assistance to help cover the remaining $300. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Without having the added expenses for the future months to come, the family will be back on track in managing their bills. The family and I thank you for any assistance you can provide.

We have a mother who has six children who is in need of new/used washing machine, and two twin beds. The NM is not working at this time and has ran out of options. The NM is in the process of making serious changes in her life and would like assistance.

Bio mom lives alone with no furniture, all she had was an air mattress which recently popped. So she is currently sleeping on the hardwood floors and would be extremely grateful to have a mattress.

The Demand Project (TDP) exists to eradicate human trafficking, online enticement, child sexual abuse material, and the commercial sexual exploitation of children. One of the ways we do this is through our residential campus for teen girls who have been victim of this. Currently we are looking for a modest bathing suit for one of the residents we serve who has the opportunity to attend a church camp in a couple of weeks. To help make the shopping easier I have included a link to Amazon. We are looking for a XXL in the teal or blue color scheme. If you are able to help fill this need, you can ship it to our office at 5065 S 79th E Ave Tulsa, OK or ship it to yourself and drop it off at the office. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you so much for helping us serve these girls!

A wonderful mom has been reunified with her children after being homeless on and off for a couple of months. This mom now has an apartment with her 5 children. Right now as we are working to find her a job and a daycare she is in need of a bus pass. She does not have a car and saves up the money she does have for her children. A bus pass for a week is $20 and this would be helpful as is trying to find a job.

A courageous mother who has recently been reunited with her five children after experiencing periods of homelessness. She and her children have now secured stable housing, marking a significant milestone in their journey toward stability. As we work together to help her find employment and reliable childcare, one immediate need is transportation. She does not own a vehicle and prioritizes her limited resources to care for her children. A weekly bus pass, priced at $20, would greatly assist her in attending job interviews and securing employment opportunities. If you are able to contribute to this need, your support would make a meaningful difference in her path to self-sufficiency. Any assistance, whether financial or in connecting her with local resources, would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering how you can help this determined mother and her family as they rebuild their lives.

After a long wait, living in cramped quarters with extended family, a single mother of a 2-year-old boy, 3-year-old girl, and a baby boy on the way, just got approved for a new apartment. She's currently in between jobs and would appreciate help with the deposit and first month's rent to expedite her move.

A family is working a prevention case with OKDHS. Two young kids are currently placed out of home while the parents work hard to correct conditions to make it safe for the children to return home. The mother of these children is making quick progress. She has just gotten a good job that will help her family greatly. She has a vehicle but it is not running. She needs to get it running to be able to have transportation back and forth to work. The car needs a battery and an alternator to be operational. We are asking for help with providing this family with a battery and an alternator to help provide transportation for her employment and to allow her to visit her kids more often since she will not have to share a vehicle. Thank you for carefully considering this request and for all the help you all generously provide the families of our community.
