Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I have a single mother who has a physical disability and has 2 children ages 14(Boy) and 12(boy) who are in need of sheets for a queen size bed and hygiene products such as deodorant, shampoo, and soap, and due to having limited financial resources is unable to purchase the products on her own. The children would benefit from hygiene products to help them stay clean and comfortable in going to school knowing they wont get picked on if they smell like sweat. The mother would benefit from having sheets to protect mattress from spills and accidents in the bed from animals.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I am working with a single mother who is raising her two young children—a 4-year-old and a 10-month-old—entirely on her own. Despite significant financial hardship and limited support, she is doing everything possible to provide her children a safe and stable home.

Recently, the family was devastated by a severe scabies infestation that has affected both the mother and her children. To stop the spread and protect her kids’ health, she has already thrown out her only sofa and is preparing to discard all of the mattresses in the home. As a result, she and the children will be without proper beds or furniture, and facing long nights with the 4-year-old and baby sleeping on blow-up camping pads, while the mother resorts to sleeping upright in a chair. The mother also needs bleach and Lysol to help contain the infestation. This mother has shown extraordinary determination to protect her children from harm and to restore a clean and livable home, even when it means sacrificing her comfort. With your support, we can help this family get back on their feet and ensure that these two young children have safe, clean places to sleep and play—essentials that every child deserves.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We would like assistance with a single mother who has three children, 11. 8 and 5 years old. She has been the victim of a fire in her last residence, which has lett her with pretty much nothing.

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!

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.

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!

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

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.

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!
