Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

The children have just been placed with a relative. They were unable to bring their beds from their previous placement because of poor home conditions. Their new placement is unable to purchase beds as they are a single person that has just started a new job. They are determined to keep the children together and out of foster care, but the financial strain of suddenly having three children to provide for is going to be a challenge. We are requesting two twin beds (frames and mattresses) for the 11 and 13 yr. old boys. The boys will also need sheets, pillows, mattress protectors, and blankets.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

CASA has a case with three children- ages 9 and younger. The children were removed from their parents after being locked in their room for days at a time, neglect, physical abuse, and relying on the oldest child to feed and care for the younger two. Mother also struggles with her mental health. The children are now living with their grandma in Denver, who could use help getting a few furniture items for the children such as two dressers (the two girls can share) a twin bed and twin mattress. These items can be purchased online and shipped to the children since they now live out of county. Thank you for considering helping support this grandma and the three young kids she has taken in!

We’re reaching out with an urgent and heartfelt request. A young mom we support just a high school student has gone into labor three months early. She’s currently hospitalized, fighting to hold off delivery, and trying to stay strong in a situation no teen should have to face alone.

With everything happening so suddenly, we’d love to remove even one piece of stress from her plate. Instead of scrambling to piece things together, we want her to know that her community has her back. ❤️ She is due soon to this would really help her I can send the link to the car seta we need for her to take baby home.

If you can help, here’s the direct link to the car seat she needs: Go To Link

Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement

A Cleveland County adoptive family needs assistance with rent and utilities for the month of June 2025. Adoptive Mother did not receive this month's Stipend, at no fault of her own. While DHS urgently tries to fix the issue, this family is facing a possible eviction. The family has a rent amount of $1325.00 that was due on 06/01/2025. The family received a 10-day notice effective 06/10/2025. The family also has an outstanding Oklahoma Natural Gas bill for $237.00, that was also affected by the financial issues with Conduit. Worker is requesting assistance with the full amount, but ANY amount would be helpful. Adoptive Mother has contacted multiple local places for assistance as well and has been turned away from all but one, who donated $75.00. This family could really use any assistance towards these bills. Any help would be very appreciated. If there are any additional questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kriss Neel at(###) ###-#### or ******@email.com Thank you

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

Newly arrived Special Immigrant Visa holder family of 7 who fled from Afghanistan (US allies) is needing a bunkbed for 4 daughters to settle into a single bedroom in their 2 BR-1BA apartment this week.

Unfortunately, due to limited space in bedroom (needing to fit 2 sets of bunk beds), twin bunk beds will fit better than full bunk beds, so probably not flexible on that aspect of this request.

Depending on the bunk bed frame that you donate, we may or may not need box springs, so I didn't add those explicitly to this request.

Thanks!

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

We have a youth accepted to Georgia Gwinnett College starting in August. She will definitely need a laptop for school. Although her tuition should be covered by the state through the Independent Living Program (ILP), she will be living on campus and will have to pay her own dorm fees, ($400 per month). She will have a job on campus to try to cover those fees, but is also working now trying to save up for a car. She would greatly appreciate any and all help you could provide to set her up well to succeed at school. Please join us in praying for this youth!

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

Backpacks & BBQ is an annual outreach event hosted by Middletown Nazarene Church that brings together our church, community, and local partners to support students and families preparing for the school year. We provide free backpacks, serve a full cookout-style meal, and offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for children in need in our community.

Each summer, hundreds of neighbors come together at our church for this day of joy and generosity. Children leave ready to start school with confidence and dignity — and families leave knowing they are seen, supported, and loved.

More information about the event can be found here: Go To Link

As part of this event, we want to provide sanitary and hygiene products for the students, so they can go back to school with confidence.
