This mother has worked so diligently over the last year and successfully closed her DHS case. We are proud to say she has exceeded every expectation of DHS, her counselor, her team here at Pearl’s Hope, and her expectations for herself! She is a phenomenal mother to her toddler. It’s been a joy to watch her adjust along with her child’s development and continue to learn new parenting skills. This summer, she completed her training to become an electrician apprentice, obtained a job, and has been saving money to move to her own home! She is able to pay all of her upfront moving costs but she does not have quite enough saved for furniture.

OKSA student in financial need to help aid her in paying rent and utilities (PSO-Electric) in her home for herself and her child due to illness that caused her to missed work. Her absence from work was excused without pay. Assistance with September's rent and utilities will allow this student to continue to further her education and alleviate the risk of eviction and the students fear of being homeless or without basic utilities in her home for her to complete her education and to continue to provide for her child.

Loving kinship placement is in need of help obtaining a fire extinguisher to ensure safety for a seven month old, and to meet policy requirements as a foster home. The foster mother lives off of retirement therefore income is limited. Thank you so much in advance for helping this family in need!

Hello, I have a parent on a DHS case who has removed herself from an unsafe situation. This parent is doing so well to ensure her children are now safe. The family has started a new life in a new place and are in need of a few necessities. The mother could use a bilateral wrist band, reading glasses +1.25, kids toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, detergent and gel pens.

A mother is needing assistance in the form of a gas card so she can get to and from visits and classes.

I have a mother that has been juggling work and trying to make it to her classes at DVIS. She missed consecutive classes due to work and in order for her to be reinstated she must pay a fee. She has been working hard to reunify her family by taking all her required classes, therapy, and keeping employment. This mom can really use and appreciate some help at this time.

I have a mom and dad that need help with getting a gas card to make it to their family time visits with their son. Both parents visit their infant son 3 times a week and would greatly appreciate any assistance so that they are able to bond with their child. Although it has been difficult for them, they have managed to make it to all their visits but could really use some help.

Mother was recently reunified with her two daughters, ages 9 and 6, and has enrolled them into school that is requiring uniforms when in attendance. Mother has also recently gotten her own place with her daughters and funds are tight at the moment. She has been able to get two uniforms per child but would like to have a couple of extras. The 9 y/o is in a size 8 and the 6 y/o is in the size 5-6. The color of the tops recommended are red, white, or blue with khaki bottoms.

A tulsa county kinship family is in high need for assistance with their natural gas bill. Oklahoma Natural Gas has disconnected the family from their gas service, and the family has no additional funds to help pay for the outstanding bill. The family consists of a single mother, a son, and two foster children. Foster mom was unfortunately let go from her position at work due to unforseen circumstances, and has had difficulty securing a new position. She continues to be incredibly patient and flexible, and steps up to gain placement of additional relatives with no other place to go. The current outstanding balance is approximately $587. Any and all assistance in bringing this balance lower will be greatly appreciated and will help bring this family back to a sense of normalcy and well deserved comfort.

A mother and a father recently had a baby boy come into custody. They are involved in services and have already initiated drug testing and substance abuse treatment. They have a car, but cannot get it tagged due to fines from late toll payments. Until they can pay off the fines, they are without transportation. We are asking for a bus pass for each parent so they can get to their services and court hearings. This would provide a practical need and remove a barrier to working toward reunification. Thank you for all the wonderful help you provide!

There is a 14 year old girl who is in desperate need for clothing. She starts school Friday and has no clothes to wear. She wears size 9 in shoes, an 8 or M/L in clothes. She needs shorts, sweats, jeans, shirts, underwear, socks, and bras. Thank you in advance for your help!!

Hello! I am a school-based specialist with OKDHS. I am working with a single mother and her 3 young children. The mother has lost her job recently and is struggling to pay her part of rent, which is $310.00. The mother is having difficulty obtaining employment. The mother is trying her best to maintain a home for her children. Please and thank you!!

This is a family with a small baby who is working hard to make their lives better and working to prevent their child from coming into custody. They have done so much for their family but rely on the bus. Bus passes would make it easier to get to their doctor appointments with the child, their parenting classes, and other required services. We are requesting 2 bus passes in order to assist the parents to getting to their required services, grocery shopping, medical appointments, etc.

I have a single mother who is in urgent need of rent and utility assistance this month. She was recently able to be reunified with her 4 children and has been able to maintain her finances up until recently. Her employer is closing their offices following financial issues which has lead to her and others not getting paid on time or at all. She is currently seeking employment elsewhere, but in the meantime she would need help with bills this month. She currently owes $730 dollars in rent plus at $75 dollar late fee and $63.40 on her gas bill which was due on 8/29. Anything will help! Thank you!

I have a father on my caseload who is working hard to be reunified with his 2 children, ages 3 and 5.

One of the children has a lot of doctor appointments coming up due to a chronic health condition. Dad has attended most of the children's doctor appointments and took off work.

Foster mom of one medically fragile child. The foster mother was receiving workers comp but was released under conditions by her doctor. However, the doctor did not release her in a proper way to return to work. Her compensation was suddenly cut off due to the release. She is still unable to work and is currently receiving no income. She has applied to be a kinship placement, which has been approved, however, this home is new, therefore, she is not yet receiving a monthly stipend. Also, if she chose to go back to work, she would still be unable to due to the needs of the child. The child currently has a feeding tube, meaning she cannot go to just any daycare, and there are no other available childcare options for the family. The foster mother is needing help with getting the rent paid for September. The total balance is $900, she has expressed that she has $200 to put towards her total balance; however she is still in need of $700. The family has expressed any type of help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an aunt and uncle who recently took placement of their teenage niece. They could use help with school supplies and a backpack as this home has not been approved for foster care payment yet.
