There is a family here in Bedford that has been on a waitlist for income based housing and had to reside in a motel until they have the financial means to move otherwise. Recently, there was a trailer through a private landlord that offered to rent to them but since they are on a fixed income - coming up with all the money to cover initial move in costs has found to be extremely difficult. All the family needs at this point is money for their water deposit in order to get their water turned on. If this need is met, the family will finally be able to move out of the motel and into more sustainable, safer housing.

Single bio-mom does not have transportation and she needs a bus pass in order to get to/from court, services and family time. She is trying to reunify with her 2 y/o son. Thank you for your consideration!

The mother is working towards reunification with her 5 children. The mother has fell on financial hardship while seeking employment. The mother is asking for assistance with her FPL bill of 291.00. The mother has been maintaining her bills on her own, she also has a plan in place to maintain her future bills. Assisting the mother in this request will ensure that her children will have a stable home to return to.

I’m reaching out to see if you could help us connect a wonderful family of five with some food assistance. They have a 1-year-old who needs to attend specialized appointments at OU four days a week who also recently had back surgery in March and the father had to take unpaid leave to assist the mom with caring for the 1-year-old Unfortunately, they have to drive themselves since Sooner Ride can’t accommodate all the siblings, and the mom doesn’t have anyone available to watch their 3-year-old at home.

Right now, the father is the sole breadwinner. Although he earns a decent income, they’re finding it tough to keep up with rent payments, which are $400 each week, to catch up on past due rent. Buying enough food has become a challenge due to the added costs of the frequent drives and their rent.

To make things a bit more difficult, the father also has 18% taken out for an unpaid loan and child support for his older children. They’re just looking for some food assistance to help them through this temporary bump in the road.

Biological father with children recently placed in DHS custody is in need of monetary assistance to pay initial fee for government issued cell phone and to obtain a drivers license. A phone of his own would help him communicate with his children, caseworkers, and attorney as he navigates his way through the court system to complete services for reunification with his children. A drivers license will propel his ability to properly identify himself for needed services and work toward getting him back to driving.

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!

This request is for a young adult female currently in her junior year of high school, who experiences ongoing financial hardship within her family. She plays a significant role in caring for her younger sister, who has special needs. Despite these responsibilities, she maintains consistent school attendance and holds a part-time job. However, the job is located far from her home and provides limited hours.

She has expressed interest in applying for jobs closer to home that may offer more consistent hours, but she faces transportation challenges. The family car recently broke down, and she currently depends on others outside the home for rides, which has proven unreliable. She is looking for a bicycle or another form of transportation to help her access more stable employment opportunities.

This is a single mom who is currently pregnant and due at the beginning of June. She has requested an infant car seat and a stroller. She is moving into a shelter this week. Mom lacks a support system and is trying to rebuild a better life for herself and her child.

I am advocating for a mom of 2 who has had a stroke paralyzing her left side. While ordering a wheelchair for her, we discovered she is sleeping on a mattress on the floor. This mom has had three back surgeries and needs her bed high enough to be comfortably transferred in and out of bed and to be able to rest well. She is very humble and grateful for any help she may receive.
