5 Children 1 Adult

Foster mother is overwhelmed financially. If her lawn is not mowed soon, she will receive a fine which would be an additional financial responsibility. The residence is a condo so the yard is very small. The children require most of her time and attention which does not allow her to break free and get the task done.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Greetings, We are seeking urgent rental assistance for a mother and her young daughter who are currently without stable housing. They need support for a three-week stay at the Whitfield Extended Stay to avoid entry into foster care for the child. The mother recently experienced a series of devastating events. Her eldest child was hospitalized and tragically passed away, during which time she also suffered a heart attack. As a result, she has been unable to work and has fallen behind on rent, leading to her eviction. She is scheduled to move into a new permanent residence on July 25, 2025, and is in the process of returning to work. The cost of temporary housing is $325 per week, totaling $975 for the full stay. Providing this short-term assistance will allow the family to remain together in safe housing during this critical period. Any support toward this request would make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for your consideration.

Help Make an Adoptive Placement

This child is in need of a weight set as a part of his coping skills within our program. This child's main goal within services in his own Words is to be adopted as his mother disappeared 3 years ago due to drug use and he has the desire to be adopted along with his siblings after severe neglect took place within the home. The family would benefit from this weight set because of how this supports the client's coping skills and current goals and future desire of going into the military to serve our nation and to build strength for his wrestling team in high school. In the meantime, until he is adopted, he would like to work toward his physical health being strong so he is able and ready for anything and equal to anything he may encounter going forward in his life. The family would greatly appreciate this because they have been doing a lot for both this child and his sibling without the support they were promised kicking in and low funds for anything beyond basic needs.

A young father of two young daughters is working a prevention case with OKDHS. This young father is a hard worker and is needing some community support to help him with his family. The children's mother is not involved and this father is the provider and caretaker for these young ladies. His oldest daughter has a severe chronic medical condition and this father had to miss some work because she was hospitalized. This resulted in the father losing his job.

We are asking for help with preventing this dad from losing his vehicle. Any help that could be put toward this need would greatly benefit this family that is struggling to get on their feet.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!
