Help make a kinship placement a smooth transition! A sweet newborn baby girl is needing a car seat, diapers (size newborn and 1), and wipes. Aunt is excited to take placement but struggling to gather all necessary items while traveling from one town to another to visit baby.

Parents of 7 children need our community’s assistance with beds, bedding and clothing storage/organization. They also need someone to haul the furniture to their home as they navigate life with a large family on a low income. Both parents work outside the home however are not able to make ends meet without assistance. The children are amazing individuals with personalities as big as the day is long. They have been taught manners and social graces and are a joy to work alongside as we reunite them with their parents. The children’s ages range from newborn to 11 years of age (Boys’ ages are 11, 9, 6 and newborn; Girls’ ages are 5, 2 and 1.) They currently are in need of a toddler bed for their 5 year old daughter and the parents need a queen size bed and bed frame. They have no bedding for the beds, so queen, twin and toddler bed size bedding such as sheets, blankets and pillows are also needed. Plain colors for the bedding would be best instead of themed items. The 3 boys each have twin sized beds (bunk beds and a twin bed). If someone is able to assist with moving the beds to their home that is also a great need to be filled. This need can be met partially but selecting one item below. Every little bit helps a lot!!! Filling this need will greatly reduce the stress and anxiety of both parents as they work together to finish their treatment plans in order to keep their family together in their home. The parents and child welfare greatly appreciate your help!!!

A family is in need of immediate assistance. The family consist of mother, father and five beautiful children ages 15, 10, 8, 13 and a newborn. This family has experienced some financial hardships over the past several months. The mother just had her baby and was out on maternity leave. The father hasn’t had stable work and has been in between jobs. As a result, this family has gotten behind on their bills. This family doesn’t have any other financial support from family or friends as they have been struggling financially themselves. This family has sought financial assistance by contacting other resources but they were unsuccessful. This family is now facing eviction and the court hearing is tomorrow. This family is in need of $2,139. This family has done their best to maintain their other bills and get caught up on their rent. This family was making partial payments but now the full amount is required. This family has expressed worry and fear of getting evicted and not being able to provide for their children. We know this is a huge financial ask and we're not trying to put burdens on an individual who is willing to contribute to this family. However, if those who are willing to contribute can ban together as a community to help fulfill this request, this family would be grateful. Thank you for any assistance you're able to provide for this family.

Please consider helping a mother and father with a new convertible car seat for their baby. Today is their baby girl's first birth day and she is in need of a bigger car seat. The parents have been progressing in their case and have been able to move to unsupervised family time with their daughter. They are also transporting her during their family time together. They were previously able to use the foster parents' car seat and were not prepared to have to buy a new one just yet. A new car seat is a big expense for them as they do not have much money. Thank you for your consideration.

I have a wonderful family, consisting of a mother and 8 children in need of assistance with paying their rent. The family is in financial need of $1625.00 to pay past due balance of $800, their upcoming rent,$750.00 due on 06/01/23, and a $75.00 late fee that is applied after 06/05/2023. The family has a limited income and incurred extra expenses that has made them unable to pay their rent beginning of next month. Having this need met, gives the family the ability to maintain housing and gets them on track to be able to pay rent in the future.

A mom and dad are experiencing barriers that are preventing trial reunification to start with their 4 year old baby girl. The parents are needing assistance with their maintenance cost for their vehicle. The parents have scheduled court dates that they will need to attend. They are also struggling with getting to and from work. Mom and dad does not have family in the Tulsa area that would be able to assist them at this time. The parents are needing a reliable vehicle so that when reunification starts, they will be able to take their baby girl to school. If anyone could assist with helping this family, any contributions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping our families.

We have a kinship placement that is doing their best to make all appointments and family time for the children. Kinship is a single income household. I would like to gift the family with a gas card to help with making the counseling appointments and other necessary doctor appointments. This will relieve some stress of the kinship placement.

A family was involved in an automobile wreck and is no longer able to use the car seat and booster seat for their 2- and 6-year-old children. Accidents can weaken the plastic in a car seat, and may not properly protect the child in a subsequent crash. They have an immediate need to replace the forward-facing harnessed seat for the 2 year old, and the backless booster seat for the 6 year old, to ensure they are able to get to school and appointments.

Oklahoma Human Services (OHS) is currently working with a single mother who has been worked hard to overcome many changes and OHS is wanting to start trail reunification in the home. Though being able to drive is not a requirement, being able to transport herself and her child will definitely make things easier and allow more opportunities for growth as a family. This mother had her license suspended due to past mistakes, and is now attempting to get her provisional license to get her driving rights back. In order to do so she must first get an Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Course (ADSAC) assessment done witch costs $160 and needs payed to Human Skills and Resources on her behalf as well, as a $340 fee to the Department of Public Safety. If you are able to assist, it would be greatly appreciated. This mom has been making significant changes in her life and working to provide for herself and her child on her own, well overcoming challenges from past mistakes.

I would like to help this young mother get a bus ticket to Oklahoma City to see her two girls who are staying with family members. This mother does not have a vehicle and transportation has been a huge barrier. Mother is starting to feel defeated, and I know she really wants to spend as much time as possible with her girls. This can be done through Greyhound Transit, and the cost is 20.99 one way. She will need a round trip ticket. Thank you for your help and support in this family! Worker is transporting the mother when able; however, worker is only in OKC every other week.
