Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

Child Welfare Services is working with a single mother in our community who is facing some significant challenges. She is a hardworking single mother raising two children, one of whom has autism. The family's circumstances have been further complicated by the recent malfunction of their washing machine. This has placed an unexpected financial burden on them, requiring them to rely on the generosity of family or the expense of a laundromat.

Given the rising cost of living in their small rural town and the family's limited income, replacing the broken washer is currently beyond their means. Their dryer is also nearing the end of its lifespan. A gently used or new washer and dryer would significantly alleviate their current difficulties.

In addition to the appliance needs, the family could benefit greatly from a few extra twin-size mattress protectors. One of the children occasionally experiences accidents and having additional protectors would significantly reduce the mother’s daily workload and stress of laundry duties.

I understand that these are substantial requests. However, any assistance you could offer this family would be profoundly appreciated and make a tangible difference in their daily lives and well-being. Thank you for considering their situation.

We have a gently used washer and dryer that works great. Please send the contact info for the family so I can schedule a drop off time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

These two minor children were recently placed in the care of their paternal grandmother, who has limited financial resources and is caring for them on her own. In an effort to provide stability, she has moved into the children's home to ensure they can maintain their daily routines and remain in the same school. While the family is receiving assistance in obtaining twin beds, they are still in need of essential bedding items, including two comforters, two pillows, and two sets of bed sheets.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Request for Support: A Grandmother’s Love in Action

We are reaching out on behalf of a devoted maternal grandmother who has stepped in to care for her five young grandchildren—all under the age of 7. She is doing her best to create a safe and loving home where they can grow and thrive, but the financial strain is overwhelming.

The children are growing quickly and are in urgent need of everyday essentials like clothing, shoes, underwear, socks, and diapers and groceries. Grandma is committed to providing a stable environment, but she cannot do it alone.

Here are the children’s specific needs:

Child #1 “P” (girl, 7 yrs) – Clothing size 8–9

Child #2 “K” (girl, 5 yrs) – Clothing size 6–7

Child #3 “K” (boy, 4 yrs, autistic, non-verbal) – Clothing size 6–7, size 5 diapers, special diet needs

Child #4 “H” (girl, 3 yrs, feeding tube) – Clothing size 6–7, size 5 diapers

Child #5 “B” (girl, 2 yrs) – Clothing size 4T, size 4 diapers

Your support—whether through clothing donations, groceries or other essentials—would be a tremendous help. Help us show this grandmother and her grandchildren they are not alone.

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus during their time of need.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A young mother with a six-year-old daughter is currently employed and in need of a laptop computer to assist her in connecting with Virtual counseling services. Due to the hours of her work schedule, she cannot attend in person counseling. This worker has been meeting with her and has found her to be very willing to strengthen her mental health and coping skills, thus strengthening her parenting skills. The mother is also hoping to utilize the computer to continue with further schooling online. She completed research on the best price for a laptop at Walmart and found one priced at $159.00 on sale. She would be very appreciative if assistance could be provided for this item. Sincerely, MiFamilyTogether services.

Help Maintain Work Transportation

We have a BC family who leads a non-profit ministry. They have had a l0-yr connection to a single mom and her 4 kids. Several of her kids have been through their leadership program and she has supported them in that. The mom recently lost her transportation when her car needed more repairs than she could afford (and we’re not worth investing in). She has had consistent employment as a caregiver for a family with a child with special needs in South Tulsa. Without a vehicle, her commute from North Tulsa to South Tulsa presents a huge barrier to her continued employment. This mom has worked hard and tried to lead her family the best she can with the resources she has. It is a big ask, but we are wondering if anyone has a vehicle to gift this family or an avenue for them to obtain reliable transportation. Thank you for prayerfully considering this need!

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Dear CBC Responders,

We hope you can help us!

We have a neighborhood Mom who attends our Mom's Bible Study. She has a young daughter and needs help with food. Her food stamps will not be available until June 19th. So, we are hoping you will claim one of the meals we are requesting. On Tuesdays, mac-n-cheese, a meat, and a veggie...on Thursdays, a pepperoni pizza. She is happy for you to deliver your meal to her. She lives off of Bonaventure...or for the pizzas, you could order it and send it to her. Her preferred delivery time is 6pm.

Thank you for helping!!!
