Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

A loving kinship foster mom, who has opened her heart and home to a precious foster child, is facing a challenging and heartbreaking situation. Living on a fixed income, she desperately struggles to meet the basic needs of those she cares for. Her window air conditioner, the only relief from Oklahoma’s scorching summer heat, is failing—its cool breeze fading away, leaving them to suffer in the relentless heat. She simply cannot afford to replace it right now, and without it, both she and her foster child are left enduring the oppressive summer days, their comfort and well-being hanging in the balance. This is a plea for support—so they can find solace in the cool, comfort that every family deserves.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A family of five was recently displaced after their rental home caught fire. The family did not have rental insurance and lost all their belongings. They are currently staying in a hotel while they seek to secure a new apartment. Although they receive SNAP benefits, these cannot be replaced due to the inability to obtain an incident report from the landlord. The family is experiencing financial hardship due to hotel expenses and has been visiting food pantries for assistance. They are in need of meat and would appreciate a grocery gift card to purchase some until their July SNAP benefits are available on their benefits card.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are currently supporting a teenager residing in a group home due to being sheltered from his parents. Since entering care, our team has ensured that he is up to date with all medical and dental needs, including the prescription of eyeglasses that significantly aid him in his daily activities. Unfortunately, as is common with teenagers, he has misplaced both pairs of eyeglasses, and the group home staff has been unable to locate them. Although we have obtained a new prescription, Medicaid will not cover the cost of the replacement glasses. We are seeking assistance to raise $89 to purchase a new pair for this child, and any support would be greatly appreciated.
