Foster Care Awareness Month is here and around 6,000 children are in the Oklahoma foster care system on any given day. All though we care about each one of these amazing kids we want to come alongside those that are in our community to ensure that they know they are loved, supported, and have community.

All though we may not be able to solve the foster care crisis state wide we can solve it in our community. One easy step in doing this is by supporting the foster families that have stepped up on behalf of these precious children. We are working to get 25 care totes prepared for the 25 Foster families that are in our area. These totes are a small example of how we can help support them as they go into the summer months and resources are limited. This is a community opportunity for churches, businesses, nonprofits, and individuals to make a difference. Everyone can do something and together we can make a difference.

The items that you provide can be dropped of at ReaLove in Miami May 22nd & June 5th from 1 PM - 4 PM so that the Care Totes can be assembled and distributed to the families in June.

Thirteen year old girl in need of a full size mattress and bed frame to be able to stay with a family kinship placement. The agency's policy requires child to have her own bed. She is tall for her age so a full size bed would be more comfortable for her. She would also need 2 pillows and bedding. This would help initiate and preserve the placement.

Hi, A mother and her three (3) children who are currently under family maintenance services had to move out of their family home due to safety reasons. At this time the mother and children are staying with family and would like to be able to have an air bed for the children as they are currently staying with the maternal grandmother and maternal aunt who are a support to the family at this time. The family does plan to move out of state shortly and are requesting air beds for the two older children in the meantime to have their own bedding and not need to stay on a family members couch. ***The teen girls are open to sharing a queen air mattress or having their own twin/queen air mattresses at this time.

Thank you,

One of our former clients reach out and ask for diapers for her two toddlers. She and her partner has total 6 kids and 2 of them are autistic and have special needs. They both work full-time and can't participate in our parenting program to earn points for material assist and need help with diapers size 2 and size 6. They asked if the diapers could deliver to them because they both work and not home during day. Two box of each size and one box of wipes will be very helpful for them They have no preference for brand but here some ideas: Wipes: Go To Link Size 2: Go To Link Size 6: Go To Link

62141579- Help a Loving Grandmother and Her Grandson

A devoted grandmother has opened her heart and home to her 9-year-old grandson under unexpected circumstances. Despite the challenges, she has stepped up selflessly—going so far as to take on a part-time job to provide for him. Right now, the child doesn't have a bed of his own. To ensure he sleeps comfortably, his grandmother has been giving up her own bed each night. She's doing everything she can to provide a stable, loving environment, but they need a little help.

They are in need of the following items:

A twin or full-size bed, mattress, and bed frame Sheets, blankets, and covers (preferably in blue or gray) A dresser (black or brown; gently used is perfectly fine)

This strong and caring grandmother is working hard to give her grandson comfort, security, and a sense of home. Any support—whether through donations of items or help spreading the word—is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and blessings to all who can help.

For the first time ever, between CBC Middle School and High School Camp, we have 14 Neighbor's Ministry Students who would like to attend. This is a record number. Every one of them is a the child of an amazing Single Mom who is either working their tail off to provide for their family, or in two cases, facing serious health issues.

Our Neighbor's Ministry students have been super committed this year to attending Tutoring and/or Bible Study. Many of the Mom's are involved in our Neighbor's Mom's Bible Study as well. This is a HUGE answer to prayer as we have been working to go deeper with the Gospel with our families. However, we were not prepared for the amount of scholarships we would need this year and did not budget for it. In order to be good stewards of our budget and to give them a potentially life changing experience, would you help us cover the cost of sending them to Camp with CBC Student Ministry this summer?

I am convinced that including them in this experience an make a tremendous impact is a testament to the collaboration between Neighbor's and Study Ministry over the past few years. Our heart is that they would come to know Jesus and to be involved and discipled by both our Neighbor's Ministry and Student Ministry strengthening their Christian community and support.

Wether it is $5 or $500, every penny goes to the cost of them attending camp.

I am reaching out to request your urgent assistance for a family in need. A local mother, who is currently facing an extremely difficult and traumatic situation, is in urgent need of hotel accommodations for the week.

Her 15-year-old daughter has recently been the victim of domestic violence. The young girl was severely attacked by her boyfriend and is now in critical condition. As a result, the mother is staying in a hotel nearby to be by her daughter’s side during this incredibly challenging time.

Due to the circumstances, the mother is in desperate need of support to continue staying close to her daughter while ensuring her own well-being. Your help in providing hotel accommodations would be a great blessing and relief for this family during such a heartbreaking ordeal.

Hotel rate per night is $103
