METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH

The Department is working with a mother of three, and she is currently needing assistance with her electric bill. She has been selling items to put towards the bill but has received a disconnection notice this week. This mother has also reached out to community resources, including filling out a LIHEAP application. For any assistance, I will connect with the mother directly. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I am asking for a car seat for a two year old that is being transported from St. Francis Hospital to Bethany, OK. Unfortunately, the hospital is unable to assist with this and she leaves at 6:00AM. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

We have a natural father who is in need of a hair follicle test due to recent relapse concerns. This dad has been making progress towards reunification and has agreed to take the necessary steps to prevent further relapse. Due to ongoing financial struggles, including a broken down vehicle, he is only able to afford half of the test. This test is more than $200, so any help is appreciated!

Hello! We are asking you to please help a foster family by providing them with some school uniforms for their foster child. This foster family is a kinship home who has stepped in to provide care. The foster mother is a single parent with a fixed income. The foster mother needs help with some school clothes like skirts with shorts built in and dresses that are khaki color. Additionally, they are asking for some help with any color shirts that are polo style. The child wears a size 10. She would be grateful for any help you could provide. Thank you for your generosity.

I am working with a grandmother who has taken her four grandchildren into placement. She was recently granted guardianship of those children, in addition to another infant, who is also in guardianship with her. She is currently in a 3 bedroom apartment. She has the opportunity to move to a four bedroom home. It will create more space for herself and the children. She is in need of half of the deposit. She has the other half. The deposit is $1900 so we are asking for assistance with $950. Thank you for any help.

✨ A Mother’s Strength & A Simple Need ✨

Today we want to share a story that reminds us why we do this work.

A courageous mother in our program was recently reunited with her 8-month-old son after overcoming homelessness. She’s now in safe housing, working hard every single day to break the cycle—for herself and her baby boy. She's doing an incredible job healing, growing, and showing up for him with everything she's got.

But she needs a little help.

She’s in urgent need of a specific car seat—the one that fits her travel system. Because she doesn’t own a car, this system is her lifeline. It allows her to safely carry her son on long bus rides, healthcare transport, Ubers, and even on the mile-long walk to and from the bus stop she makes almost daily.

This car seat isn’t just a convenience. It’s safety. It’s freedom. It’s a mother trying to give her son the best she possibly can with the resources she has.

If you feel moved to help, please consider donating. Every dollar brings us closer to getting this mom the car seat she needs and deserves. ❤️

💙 A Fresh Start Deserves a Little Help 💙

We want to share the story of a courageous single mother who recently took a huge step forward. After experiencing homelessness, she entered the Pearl’s Hope program and has worked tirelessly to build a better life for herself and her 8-month-old son — who she has now joyfully reunified with.

When she arrived at the program, she brought all she could for her baby, but only had two outfits for herself and a single pair of flip-flops.

Today, she’s proud to be working as a cashier — on her feet for hours each day — and she’s asking for a small lift to keep going strong.

She’s in need of: 👟 A comfortable pair of black work shoes (size 10) 👕 Gently used or new shirts in XL or 2XL (she prefers black and darker colors) Amazon Gift Card

If you can help donate or spread the word, you’ll be making a real difference in the life of a mother who’s fighting every day to stay on her feet — literally and figuratively.

We have three kiddos in need of summer clothes, as they have grown out of their clothes from last year, and natural mother is taking some time off work with the birth of her new baby this month leading to tight finances.

We have a family in need of help with a few items. The first is two 5-point carseats for a 1 and 2 year old, as they are close to outgrowing their current ones. This family is also in need of assistance with transportation, whether from bus passes, gas cards, an Uber/Lyft card, or assistance with a vehicle, as the natural mother continues struggling with financial instability. This would help her maintain the ability to get to work, family time, and other services. This mom is also in need of a planner to better keep track of her schedule, including appointments with service providers. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

A mom and dad of a 2 year old and a 4 year old need 2 bus passes. The passes would help them get to work and services for their case. Mom and dad are working hard to get to services so they can reunify with their kids. This would help the family out so much!

This family is in serious need of a refrigerator. The family recently had a newborn child and they are currently storing the baby's milk in a ice chest. The family would appreciate a used, lightly used, new, old any type of refrigerator. The mother is a veteran and a great mother who is financially overwhelmed. The family is buying dinner by the day. Thank you in advance for your help with this request.
