Kinship foster parents took placement of their nephew and niece. The family are still working on becoming an approved foster placement so that foster stipend can begin. The niece has many health issues and is required to go to the OU Children's Medical Center in OKC for her intensive doctor appointments. The family has been providing the gas for many past appointments to OKC. The family has also transported the niece to her weekly physical, occupational, and speech therapy, which are 60 miles away roundtrip. This permanency worker would like to advocate on behalf of the family in securing a gas card to help with the many medical appointments for the child. The family has been providing all the needs for the children without any financial assistance for many months. The family would benefit greatly if a church would commit to assisting with their greatest need at this time.

Please Help a bio family become reunited. A mother of 5 children is in trial reunification with her newborn baby. The mother has four other children in custody. The mother is on Social Security so she is not able to work full time. The mother will soon be moved to unsupervised visits. The children will need car seats due to when the children were taken the car seats were not returned to the mother. Also the mother is needed a gas card to provide transportation to and from visits for her children. The children are placed in two different foster homes. One is thirty minutes from the mothers home and the other is one and a half hours from the mothers home.

Two amazing pre teen girls are in the process of being adopted by their paternal aunt, the only thing standing in the way is that she needs to finalize her divorce before the adoption can go through. She has been making payments to start the process but she could use assistance in getting it paid off so that these girls can finally be adopted and know that they really have achieved permanency.

I have a dad who is working towards reunification with his daughter. He could use assistance with food to ensure he is able to feed his daughter during visits. Additionally, I would like to request a family membership to the zoo or the aquarium so that he can visit outside the home.

Hi there! I have a non-paid kinship placement that is in need of some financial assistance. They have fallen behind on some bills and would greatly benefit from any help that you may be able to provide. Again, this is a non-paid kinship placement and they have been such a blessing to the girls placed in their care. Any help you may be able to provide would immensely appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your time and consideration!

A kinship parent is approved DHS to be foster parent to three children (Twins 3 y/o and a 5 y/o) who does not have a place to go. She can take the sibling group, but does not have appropriate sleeping arrangements. The foster parent asked for help. She needs two toddler beds, and needs everything for it, and a twin sheet and comforter for the 5 y/o. Any help is greatly appreciated to keep this sibling group together and into placement as quickly as possible. This is a RUSH request. Need beds by tomorrow night 01/26/23. Thank you in advance for your help to keep these kids with family and in placement together. This is an adopted kinship home and the children would be adopted by family.

We have a family who is working a care plan, and needs a pack and play. Mom is doing exceptional, and her next step is to move, and she needs a pack and play to help make that happen.

This need is for a mother and child who have recently reunified. The mother frequently rides her bike or takes the bus. This one child bike trailer/stroller would allow her child to not have to walk so far to catch the bus and enable her to take the bike when necessary. The one that I found to be the best bargain is at Walmart and is the Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Child Bicycle Trailer & Stroller. It does not need to be this specific brand and can be donated one that is donated rather than purchased new.

two siblings who will be placed together are in need of some clothing, this will help to keep siblings in the same home. A six year old and a three year old are in need of some basic items, like socks, underwear, hairbrushes, items to keep hair pulled back like hair ties , headband, winder gloves and hats and a coat for the cold.

Children in need of bunk beds to secure a placement for siblings. siblings are currently placed in different homes four hours apart.

We have a family, whose children have been put into a kinship placement. Two of the children are school age and to be able to get them from their kinship home to school, which is about a 45 minute drive each way, they need monetary assistance in the form of gas cards.

Please help strengthen this single mother of two. Mom has separated from the father of her children, and is gaining her independence. She does not have a driver's license, and is in need of driver's education. Please bless this single mother by paying for driver's ed course. Blessings.

I have a family who is attempting to get reunification of their three children. They could use assistance with heaters as they do not have heat in the home. Additionally, due to dad working lawn care, their income is very limited right now so they could use assistance with groceries. Also, they have a window in their home that needs replaced. They could use assistance with a new window and/or installation of the window.

Hello, I have a family that is starting reunification with their children. It is two parents and three teenagers. The mother is paralyzed and in need of new bedding, and currently only has an old hospital blanket to lay under. The mother stated they did not have sheets and blankets for the beds in the home. The children are also in need of new bedding. This family is trying hard to get back to their normal and I wanted to try and help with a little of the stress by allowing them to be able to sleep on new sheets and blankets. Thank you in advance for any help out there, and always know OKDHS really appreciates all the help we receive for our families.
