Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

Mother has worked diligently towards correcting the conditions which led to her son's removal last year. Mother hit the ground running to make every effort to initiate all things asked of her by her case worker and the courts. Mother has maintained housing, fully engaged in her court ordered treatment plan, and is able to share how the information discussed with her service providers has impacted her life and how she can now utilize these lessons in her day to day life as she navigates relationships in her life, stress, and parenting her toddler. As a result of the her hard work, the mother and son are now having overnight visitations and will soon enter trial reunification! Mother has been out of work, for over a year, but recently started work over the last month. Mother does not have her own transportation and walks roughly 45 minutes each day one way in the unpredictable Oklahoma weather conditions. Mother could benefit from 2-3 pairs of black work pants and a 1-2 more pairs of comfortable non/anti slip shoes as she works on her feet all day. Additionally, mother needs a lock box in order to keep her medications safely secured from her curious toddler. Currently the medication is stored on top of a high shelf, but a lockbox would be an added benefit to keep her medications stored safely and give her peace of mind. Any help to support this family would be greatly appreciated by myself and the family :)

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

DCS is working with a single mother of 4 in Clarksville, who unfortunately had to quit her job due to her son's severe health issues. Her son is much better now but in the process of his recovery her vehicle broke down. A community partner is working with the family to get the vehicle repaired through Mechanics on a Mission but they do not cover the tow fee. The fee is $200, the ask is that we are able to get the vehicle towed today for the repairs to be made. Any help is greatly appreciated, restoring the vehicle back to running condition will allow the mother to return to work.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a family here in Bedford that has been on a waitlist for income based housing and had to reside in a motel until they have the financial means to move otherwise. Recently, there was a trailer through a private landlord that offered to rent to them but since they are on a fixed income - coming up with all the money to cover initial move in costs has found to be extremely difficult. All the family needs at this point is money for their water deposit in order to get their water turned on. If this need is met, the family will finally be able to move out of the motel and into more sustainable, safer housing.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

I’m reaching out to see if you could help us connect a wonderful family of five with some food assistance. They have a 1-year-old who needs to attend specialized appointments at OU four days a week who also recently had back surgery in March and the father had to take unpaid leave to assist the mom with caring for the 1-year-old Unfortunately, they have to drive themselves since Sooner Ride can’t accommodate all the siblings, and the mom doesn’t have anyone available to watch their 3-year-old at home.

Right now, the father is the sole breadwinner. Although he earns a decent income, they’re finding it tough to keep up with rent payments, which are $400 each week, to catch up on past due rent. Buying enough food has become a challenge due to the added costs of the frequent drives and their rent.

To make things a bit more difficult, the father also has 18% taken out for an unpaid loan and child support for his older children. They’re just looking for some food assistance to help them through this temporary bump in the road.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The school has been working with a mom who was reunified with her children about a year ago. As a single parent she has needed extra support in keeping up with all of her kiddos and their needs. They've recently been accepted to move into a more affordable home at the beginning of June but they had to move out of their current place earlier than that. They are in need of a hotel room to hold them over until their rental is ready for move in. (The landlords are actually from MP!) The hotel is $84/night and we are hoping to cover 5 nights. There are several other churches claiming other nights as well!

Help Maintain Work Transportation

This request is for a young adult female currently in her junior year of high school, who experiences ongoing financial hardship within her family. She plays a significant role in caring for her younger sister, who has special needs. Despite these responsibilities, she maintains consistent school attendance and holds a part-time job. However, the job is located far from her home and provides limited hours.

She has expressed interest in applying for jobs closer to home that may offer more consistent hours, but she faces transportation challenges. The family car recently broke down, and she currently depends on others outside the home for rides, which has proven unreliable. She is looking for a bicycle or another form of transportation to help her access more stable employment opportunities.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am advocating for a mom of 2 who has had a stroke paralyzing her left side. While ordering a wheelchair for her, we discovered she is sleeping on a mattress on the floor. This mom has had three back surgeries and needs her bed high enough to be comfortably transferred in and out of bed and to be able to rest well. She is very humble and grateful for any help she may receive.
