This is a young single mother that has one teenage daughter and things were fine until. Until she took in two teenage boys who are her daughter's cousins. Mom works 60-80 hours a week to get her bills paid and was doing well until her daughters cousins was placed w/ her w/ Mom and MO Children's agreement. MO Children Div. doesn't have custody of the teens, so this single mother is doing everything for them for 90 days. Mom states her water, electric and food bill has increased since receiving the boys in April. Mom has request assistance w/ her electric bill for this month. This mother is trying to keep these teenagers out of state custody until mom is able to get them back in her home. Please can you assist this single mom and keeping these boys until they're ready to go back to their mother and not to the state of MO.

A mother of four (soon to be five), was finally able to obtain her own safe, independent housing. Previously, mother and her children had been living with maternal grandmother for many years. The family is very excited to finally have a place that they can call their own. Mother is in need of a couch for the living room, so that her family can spend quality time together, comfortably. Currently, mother has a small love seat that can fit up to two people, while the rest of the family is sitting on the floor. A couch would be able to assist in making this feel more like a home and take worry off of mother.

The size of couch that the family can fit in their home is unknown at this time, however an update will be added to this request once that information is received from the caseworker.

A grandmother is beginning the process to become a foster parent for her 18-year-old teen granddaughter who is already in foster care. This enables the teen to be in a family home instead of a group home. The teen girl is already in the home and the grandmother is caring for her needs which is costly at the beginning. It would be helpful if the teen girl had Gift Cards to get some hygiene products, clothing, and shoes. The grandmother is also in need of help for groceries and snacks for her.

The family in need just completed and graduated from Life in Victory. The family has just moved to a new trailer and is trying to restart their life.

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Single mom with one teenager. The mom had to have emergency surgery. She has full time employment and was up to date on paying her bills, until she had emergency surgery. Because of the surgery her doctor has requested that she does not work for up to 12 weeks. Her employment does not include any benefits or paid time off. She works for a cleaning company which requires her to be physically able to do her job, but the surgery has made it so she can not work for the time being.

She is requesting assistance for help on paying half of Mays rent and potentially all of Junes rent. Her rent is $850 a month, she has already paid for half of the rent of May. She is also requesting assistance to help pay their light bill. The light bill is $238 and was due on May 8th. Any assistance to help pay these bills would be very appreciated by the family!

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

A church member has a college student, at New River Community College, in a class that is currently homeless along with his father. His father broke both his arms in a work accident due to faulty equipment. Since he is unable to work and the company has put a hold on workers compensation until July they are in need of assistance. The father is unable to work at least until he has surgery on both arms. Their current needs are food and gas for him to get back and forth to work and school. They have temporary housing with family but will need assistance with this need in the near future. If you can help or have any questions you can reach out to Austin Phillips.

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!
