CarePortal DHS Response Team

CWS is requesting assistance with providing a gas card for a parent-child weekend visit. The youth, who has special needs and currently resides in a specialized care home, has monthly weekend visits with his biological mother. This upcoming visit falls on the Fourth of July weekend. The gas card will allow the mother to travel to pick up her son on Friday morning and spend quality time with him, including taking him out to eat and attending a fireworks display that evening. Your support in helping make this family connection possible over the holiday weekend would be greatly appreciated.

Bio mom does not have transportation at this time. She needs help with transportation and could use uber to get to services.

Bio mom needs help with gas to go to weekly family times in the Tulsa area. It would help her out and remove the barriers for her.

Bio mom doesn't have transportation and uses the gift card when she doesn't have a ride from friends and family to get services, court and work. Bio mom family time is progressing and the gift card would help her remove the barrier of transportation so she can have more family time with her child.

A young person is aging out of DHS and going into Thunderbird Program in hopes to prepare him for a career in the military. Thunderbird has a packing list for their cadets that costs about $333. If this request speaks to you, you would be helping out a great young person trying to find his place in society. Thank you.

We are asking for assistance for a father who is working to reunify with his 3 year old daughter. He lives with his fiancé and her two children 3 and 1. He is active in services and has completed 2 of his programs already. He regularly attends family times and they also go very well. He has been approved for unsupervised and overnight visits. We are asking for assistance in the form of 2 toddler beds with mattresses and bedding for the 3 year old girls. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide this family!

Hello! Church, we have an opportunity to come alongside a single mom who is a member at Wildwood & help support her as she cares for the older bio siblings (brothers ages 9 & 12) of her adopted son. The brothers are still in foster care and need care for a period of 10 days in July. To say yes, the single mom needs childcare for the boys while she is at work. There are openings at a local day camp for both boys. The cost for 7 days of camp for both boys is $700. Please keep this family in your prayers - pray specifically for the time the three brothers will have together. If you feel led, please consider giving financially so that we can help support this family, allowing all three siblings to have 10 days together this summer. There are two ways to give financially:

1. Financial contributions can be made to Wildwood's CarePortal Fund by clicking on this link and selecting the green button that says "Give to our CarePortal Fund." Go To Link
2. You can contribute online at Wildwood's giving page and in the memo line put "Adoptive & Foster Care Ministry": Go To Link

Please reach out to Naomi at ******@email.com with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Adoptive & Foster Care community at Wildwood!

A bio mother is in need of financial assistance to pay for a housing application of $50. This mother is needing to move out of her current apartment and wants to be able to reside in a neighborhood that is closer to her children's current placement and in a safer neighborhood so that she can see them more often and have a safe home for them to reunify with her in. This mother currently struggles to see her children as frequently as she was previously due to transportation issues.

Cleveland County Child Welfare is reaching out for your support. Our staff is currently providing around-the-clock care for several youth who require a high level of supervision and are unable to leave our office setting. This care has been ongoing for the past month, with staff remaining in the office day and night to ensure the safety and well-being of these children. Currently we have two youth in the office now planning night sleeping at the office with minimum of 1 to 2 workers included at all times.

We are in need of assistance with snacks, easy-to-prepare meals, and drinks to help sustain both our youth and dedicated staff. Our office is equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and Keurig, which allows for limited food preparation. We would be incredibly grateful for a variety of items, including both healthy and fun options, to help keep everyone nourished and comforted during this time. The items they have suggested but not limited to: chips, ramen, apple sauce pouches, lunch meat, cutie oranges, corndogs, White Castle burgers, juices, powerade, bottled water, crystal light packets etc.

Any support your church can provide—whether through food donations, drinks, or meal deliveries—would be deeply appreciated by both our youth and staff.

Thank you for considering this need and for your continued care and partnership with our community.

I'm reaching out on behalf of a dedicated family in need of support. They are currently in the process of rebuilding their lives and have made incredible progress. However, reliable transportation has become a major barrier to maintaining their momentum. The family's vehicle is in need of an alignment and four new tires. Without this essential repair, they are struggling to attend crucial services and maintain consistent family time with their son—both of which are vital to their ongoing stability and reunification. We’re seeking assistance to cover the cost of the tires and alignment.
