A grandmother and her two grandchildren are dealing with the death of their grandfather several weeks ago. Plans to buy a new stove and washing machine were upended by the costs of the head of household's funeral. The grandmother is asking for assistance with getting a new stove and washing machine into the house for the welfare of the children as finances are running short. There is income from different sources, but the closeness of events has hurt the family's savings. The appliances do not need to be purchased if reliable replacements could be found. Assistance would be greatly appreciated at this time.

We have a mother having major hardships at the moment. Her vehicle has broken down and this is making it nearly impossible to get to work and is hindering visiting with her children. Uber and Lyft is costing her a fortune and it's hard for her to keep up with everything. This mother is living pay-check to pay-check and isn't getting easier for her. This has caused her to miss family time with her children, which isn't like her. She has reached out to us pleading for whatever help she can get. A mechanic has told her that it will cost upwards $800 to fix her vehicle. With paying rent and everyday necessities she has been unable to reach that amount. The mechanic says the engine has completely gone out. She does have another vehicle the same model as the one she has now that is down due to a wreck she had. The engine in that one is fine and the mechanic advised her that that engine could be put in her current vehicle but $800 is the best price she has been given. This mother only seeks help, it doesn't have to be cash, just possibly someone that help get her vehicle up and going again. So if anyone fixes vehicles or knows someone that does she would appreciate that greatly. She is devastated that she has had to miss seeing her children when she is unable to afford or get a ride to family time. Any help from the community would benefit her in so many ways.

I have a family of 2 adults, and 5 children ages 9, 12, 13, 15, and 17. The younger 3 children report never having beds to sleep on. They report sleeping on air mattresses up until this last week when they popped, to where they are sleeping on tile floors with a blanket. The family needs assistance with beds, mattresses, sheets and pillows. Assisting this family getting mattresses will help these children get a good nights rest to thrive in academics, sports and day to day life. Christmas is coming up and would make their Holiday season special!

A bio mom has worked hard to reunify with her 2 and a half year-old son and he has now been back in her home for over a month.

Having a dryer in her residence would greatly help as her son has autism and weekly trips to the laundromat for extended periods of time are a difficult outing for him. Any help with this request is greatly appreciated and this request can be met by multiple parties if necessary. Thank you for all you do!

Burmese Family #1 Catholic Charities will welcome a Burmese refugee family in December. This family is a mom with three teenagers. We do not have beds for the family and would welcome help providing the family with beds. I do not have a firm date for when they will arrive in December, but we will set up their apartment on December 4th. Then after they are welcomed at the airport, they will go straight to their furnished apartment with their case manager! Gender Neutral Items are best. Catholic Charities will walk with this family thru immediate case management for 3 months after their arrival. We will help with apartment set up, legal documents (like SS#), job placement, establishing medical care, enrolling the kids in school, and much more. Helping the family with household items is a huge way to help the family get established in Tulsa!

There is a mother requesting help with a bus pass to be able to come to family time with her son. This mom currently doesn't have any other transportation or employment.

Please help us continue to keep children safe and comfortable by assisting with getting beds for three children, ages 5, 9, and 11. These children live solely with their father, who is working to provide a safe home for them. The father is working to find employment, and has managed to get the children mattresses. The 9 and 11 year old share a mattress in their room, while the 5 year old has a mattress in her room. The father has put the needs of his children first, but needs an extra amount of help in order to improve his children's' lives. We appreciate any help given to this family. Blessings!

A mother and child who have recently escaped a domestic violence situation and has recently obtained housing are in need of assistance. This mother has done her due diligence to secure a safe and secure home for her and her child, and has maintained a steady income, but still needs help in receiving a few items that will assist in making her home healthy and supportive. When victims leave, they often leave with nothing and they are starting over with very little.

A 12 year old Autistic child can be placed with an aunt but needs a bunk bed to avoid him sleeping on a couch. This is a necessity and the family would be very grateful for this assistance.
