Request: #236914 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Tulsa • State: Oklahoma • Zip Code: 74135 • County: Tulsa • Submitted By: Oklahoma Human Services

Story

•
2 Children 2 Adults

A local family currently caring for their 12-year-old nephew and 8-year-old niece through kinship placement is facing an urgent need. With only one income earner in the household, they are doing everything they can to provide a safe, stable home for the children.

Unfortunately, their refrigerator stopped working last night. Without disposable income or savings, they are unable to replace it at this time—and the food they have is quickly spoiling.

We are reaching out to the community to ask if anyone has a working refrigerator they would be willing to donate—new or gently used. Your generosity would make a tremendous difference in helping this family preserve their food and maintain stability for these children.

The mother serves as the primary caregiver for both the children and the father, who along with managing ongoing medical conditions. As the main provider for the household, the mother is facing increased difficulty meeting the family's needs. The family would greatly benefit from receiving new blankets, bedsheets, and pillowcases, as well as essential medical equipment, including a reverse walker for the father and two children, and a tub transfer bench to support safe bathing.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A kinship family recently took placement of their two young grandsons, providing them with the stability and love they desperately need. However, like many relatives who step in during times of crisis, they were not financially prepared for the sudden addition of two growing boys to their household.

At the moment, both children are sharing a single queen bed, which is not a sustainable or comfortable long-term solution. Each child needs their own bed—a space of their own to rest, grow, and feel secure. Separate beds will not only support the children's physical and emotional well-being, but also help preserve the stability of this new family arrangement.

We are seeking two twin mattresses and bed frames to meet this urgent need. Your donation will help ensure this family can remain together in a safe and supportive environment.

If you’re able to donate a new or gently used twin mattress or frame—or contribute financially toward purchasing one—we would be deeply grateful. Your support makes a real difference for children and families in need.

Please reach out if you're able to help—thank you for being part of the village that supports families in transition.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am currently assisting a mother who is caring for her one-year-old and newborn child. This mother has a total of ten children and previously lost custody of eight due to a long history of substance misuse. She began using methamphetamines at the age of 14 and experienced chronic homelessness for many years. However, this mother has made significant strides in turning her life around. She has been clean and sober for the past two years and has had no new referrals or child welfare involvement since the birth of her one-year-old in 2023. During this time, she has resided at the Navigation Center and women’s shelters while working closely with the CSET Housing Program. Through her hard work and commitment to stability, she recently secured permanent housing and received the keys to her new apartment in Lindsay on May 30, 2025. This is a rare and commendable case of a mother overcoming significant barriers and achieving sustained sobriety and stability. Any support provided to her would be met with immense gratitude and would greatly contribute to her ongoing success and the well-being of her children. Thank you for your consideration and support. Because of her past housing instability, the mother has very limited resources and is in urgent need of essential household items. She is seeking assistance with the following (new/used): A couch, a highchair, a bed for herself, dressers, a TV, sheets for the children’s beds, pillows, cleaning supplies, newborn necessities, clothing.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This family we have helped before. She was removed from an abusive home and moved into Covington with her children and has struggled to make ends meet. Her apartment is now asking her to leave, but she has secured a place in Clifton but needs help moving some things to her new place. She has 2 children and has a very hard medical diagnosis that has been keeping her bills high. She will need a truck or trailer to haul some things. I have this valued at $10 because it's not really a monetary need. She has also requested to have someone sit with her to help her work out her financial budget. She is really doing her hardest to take care of her family.
