Story
This request is for a kinship foster family who took placement of two brothers, both under age two. At the time they were placed in the home, the youngest needed a medical procedure, which had to be done in Oklahoma City. The foster family incurred the cost of traveling from Tulsa to OKC and back on two separate occasions: for the consultation and then the procedure. Unfortunately, they were unable to get their mileage reimbursed. As a new kinship foster home who was not yet receiving the monthly foster care stipend, this placed a financial strain on the family. In total, they traveled 432 miles, and we would be grateful for assistance in providing them with a gas card to counter the financial cost to their family.
