Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

I am working with twins who are fifteen. They reunified with their biological mother after her rights were terminated thirteen years ago. The twins were adopted when their mother's rights were terminated and their adoptive parents cognitive ability/health has declined which led to their removal. Since reunifying with the biological mom, she has been working to financially support the twins plus herself and two other kids she has in the home. It has been a challenge for her, but she has been a stable support and placement for the kids. One of the twins, who is a male, has recently gotten into heavy metal music and expressed he'd like to take up guitar. He used to play and lost his guitar when he was removed and their parents were evicted. Bio mom cannot afford to purchase him a guitar, but is also hopeful to support him in his love for music and want to learn the instrument. He has showed me a few electric guitars he'd like if this request is met. Additionally, bio mom just had to spend a large sum of money to have her car repaired. She is requesting financial assistance to help with basic needs, clothing, and groceries. Her preference is a Walmart card as that is the closest option.

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

We are celebrating Foster Care Awareness / Appreciation month by hosting a FREE POOL PARTY at River Country Water Parks in Muskogee Oklahoma. We will be inviting current foster and adoptive families from 10+ counties surrounding the Muskogee area to attend. In addition to the pool party, we will be offering information to families of local resources and churches that they can connect with as well as dates for summer activities for VBS and children / youth camps that churches are participating in and inviting children to come to.

The party will be Saturday, May 31st from 6:30-8:30pm with capacity being roughly 700-800 individuals. We will have an RSVP process for the families. We are asking for our networking churches to contribute to the cost of renting the water facility out - $1,200. Any amount helps! If you have questions, please reach out to your community coordinator or 111project East Central OK Regional Manager - Jason Grewe

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The school has been working with a mom who was reunified with her children about a year ago. As a single parent she has needed extra support in keeping up with all of her kiddos and their needs. They've recently been accepted to move into a more affordable home at the beginning of June but they had to move out of their current place earlier than that. They are in need of a hotel room to hold them over until their rental is ready for move in. (The landlords are actually from MP!) The hotel is $84/night and we are hoping to cover 5 nights. There are several other churches claiming other nights as well!
