You have helped this family before. The parent is unemployed but looking for work. She filed for disability but has to wait 4-6 months to hear back. She needs to go to an appointment next Monday. She needs her car fixed in order to do that (if not, possibly have a ride to the appointment out of town).

A grandmother has legal custody of her young grandson but gets no financial assistance because Children Services was never involved. She can not work because she is disabled. She is on disability and getting SNAP benefits. They are managing to get by each month but after all the rain that has come their basement flooded and burnt out the motor in their washing machine. They can not afford to get a new one at this time and they are asking for some assistance. Any help is very appreciated.

Hello, I’m currently working with a family facing significant hardships. A grandmother is the primary caregiver for her 17-year-old grandson, who has been diagnosed with autism. In addition to ongoing medical challenges, the family has experienced multiple recent losses, which have made it difficult for them to maintain their home environment. They are in need of support to help clean and restore their living space to a safer and more manageable condition. The family is open to assistance in the form of funding for a professional cleaning service (please note the amount provided is a guestimate - there has not been an estimate provided by any service), or volunteer support—whichever the church or organization feels is most feasible. They would be deeply grateful for any support or resources that could be provided during this difficult time. Thank you so much for considering this request.

T is a working mother to a 1 year old and 6 year old. It is a discouragement to her that she provides support for extended family members from whom she could us help with her children, etc. In the struggles of life, she often talks about how she thinks God might be moving. Many in her family have flimsy church connections which has made it difficult for her to find a church community she wants to join. An Easter food basket, delivered by a caring Christ follower would encourage this single mother both physically and spiritually. Thank you for considering this request.

After surviving abuse and escaping her trafficker, this survivor has a chance to start a new life. Nine years ago, she became homeless after losing her job and being evicted with her young son. With nowhere stable to go, she sent her son to stay with a friend temporarily. During this vulnerable time, she fell into the hands of a trafficker. That same friend later convinced her to sign over guardianship of her child, which became permanent. After suffering a brutal assault at the hands of her trafficker, she was determined to break away and rebuild her life. Despite her securing employment, the cost of child support and housing costs, made reuniting with her son difficult. She entered the Orange County Rescue Mission, completed court-ordered therapy, parenting classes, and drug testing, earned her GED, and enrolled in college, all while fighting for custody for her son. Today, she has been approved for Section 8 housing and finally has a safe, stable apartment. However, before she can move in and receive custody of her son, she needs a few essential items: a refrigerator and a mattress. With your support, we can help provide these basics, and with them, restore hope, dignity, and the foundation for a fresh start for her and her son. Once she’s settled into her new apartment, she plans to petition the court to end the guardianship and reunite with her son. Your generosity can help make this life changing moment possible.

There is a single foster mom who has had placement of a 14 year old hispanic child for almost 1 year now. She has her 15th birthday coming up, and foster mom is wanting to throw her a Quinceañera! She is working alongside other community partners, but wants to get her foster daughter the dress of her dreams and for her to get to have everything she wants at this party. Would you consider donating to help this girl feel like a princess? Thank you!

We have a elderly member that has moved to Tulsa from another state. She was living with family that is also elderly and disabled. She has moved into an apartment with no furniture or supplies. We are working to assist her with getting a bed/bedding, sofa/chair, table & chairs, dishes. She is in need of items for the bathroom (towels, shower curtain, soaps). The apartment is totally unfurnished and any assistance you can provide will be a blessing to this senior member. Thank you for your assistance.

This need is for a family who has graduated from DHS. We have assisted this family about a year ago. The mother’s snap benefits were stolen and used in Pennsylvania. While she is waiting for assistance, she could use our help feeding her family (mom, dad, adult son, and baby who is 14 months old). Baby is eating finger foods and family can use items like canned goods, meat, etc.

A local mother passed away recently, and friends have taken in 4 of the seven children in the family. They are aged 6 months to 10 years old. There are many needs! The Biological dad is working to be able to have his children back in the home. In the meantime, the families are really struggling.
The young baby needs Formula—Similac Sensitive. The family has not yet been approved for any help for the children. This family already has several kids of its own and needs assistance with diapers. The older kids need clothing and a few other things. One of the older girls needs clothing in size 7/8 and size 13 kids' shoes. They also need size 5/6 pajamas and twin bed sheets.
