WPS support employee and her Senior son lost their home 2 weeks ago in a fire. They lost everything! WPS has rallied to lend $$$ support that has enabled them to seek a rental - while working on things with their homeowners insurance. They got notice today that the rental is available tomorrow - May 10!!!!!

In visiting with mom and son last week about Care Portal specifically the mom began to cry tears of joy! I was not sure they would reach out for support - as they are so proud and very hard working. BUT they did!!!

A family who just reunify back together into their new apartment just dropped and broke their television. They are in need of a new one, hopefully something between 48-55in TV. They share their bonding time together by watching their favorite movie and would like that bond to continue. SW: Luke Fleming

An amazing foster and adoptive family with 8 total (biological, adopted, and foster) children needs our help. Their dryer stopped working several weeks ago and they have been taking all of the clothing for 10 people to and from the laundromat ever since. The family recently experienced an unexpected job transition, so they are unable to buy a replacement at this time. They are truly inspiring people who give so much of their time, energy, and resources helping and advocating for kids in care, so this is an opportunity for us to help them.

The agency has been court ordered to assist a teen mother with obtaining a cell phone to maintain contact with her caseworker and agency. A pre-paid phone for at least 6 months-1 year. We would also like to request a tablet to assist her with participating in services for the agency.

Family is currently living at a homeless shelter in town, moving in in the last few months after previously living in their car. Dad is working with the case manager at the shelter to try and find a job, but is needing help with the transportation to and from. Asking for support with a bus pass for this family to help get on the path towards more stable employment and housing.

An expectant mother is in need of basic items for a newborn due later this month (May). The mother's community health coach requested an infant car seat, diapers, wipes. These items will allow the child safe transport and will supply the baby's diapering needs for a few weeks. We still need funds for the CARSEAT, WIPES, and DIAPERS. You may click, "Yes, I Can Help!" if you would like to donate any amount of funds so we can purchase the items. Just type in the amount you'd like to contribute. Or, you can contact Oni if you would like to provide the items -- diapers (newborn). Thank you!

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!
