This is a request for assistance in obtaining an 8-foot enclosed backyard trampoline for a 5-year-old girl in DHS custody. She is placed in a home with no other children and DHS, CASA, and foster family believe a trampoline would provide her with hours of fun and physical activity. She has been in DHS custody for two years and is placed in a prospective adoptive home. The entire team feels very optimistic about this home, and we pray this is this child's forever home. There are no safety issues and this child has all the things she needs to thrive. A trampoline is an extra item that is not necessary but would be provide loads of fun and activity for a little girl that loves to be active. Thank you in advance for considering this request.

We are requesting funds for an auntie who lives out of state and has limited funds for background checks and auntie is on a fixed income. All families live out of state as the child comes into custody while the bio dad and bio mother are absent from their son’s life. The child is making weekly phone calls with his auntie, and he has asked her when he can come back home. The child expressed his feelings to her by saying he misses his family, and he loves them dearly. The child’s auntie needs $110 to get her background checks completed so the child can return to his home state. If you can please assist the auntie and her nephew so he can return home before the holidays.

Thanks

This mother is a mom of two. She currently does not have a vehicle or a way to get to important appointments or visits. It would be very helpful to receive bus passes for this family. She is working on reunifying with her children and is actively looking for a way to get to and from our office to see her children, as she currently lives 30 minutes away and does not have a strong support system. Any and all support would be greatly appreciated for this family. Thank you so much!

Hello my wonderful community! I hope all is well for everyone. I am reaching out to our helpful community for a single parent foster home. She became a single parent overnight to four sweet children that have been placed in custody. Due to the increase of children in the home, she now needs more space. Can someone help her? The foster parent loves the children so much and wants to provide a better life for the little ones. she is either looking for a home in the Norman area or needs help with the deposit to move.

This is a family living in public housing where air conditioning is not provided. This is a 2-parent home with a toddler and a baby on the way. Dad recently lost his job and is having difficulty making ends meet. Mom is unable to work since she cares for the toddler and is currently pregnant. With the temperatures heating up outside, their apartment is starting to get very hot and uncomfortable. They would really like to have an air conditioning window unit so the mom can be comfortable during her pregnancy and the toddler will be able to sleep comfortably at night.

A single mother of a 6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl, and 2-year-old girl fresh out of inpatient treatment, was recently able to move into a transitional living program so she can continue on her path of recovery. She was allowed to move in with just the deposit fee paid, but a monthly payment of $600 is required to stay in the program. This mother is currently unemployed as she just came out of inpatient treatment but is looking for employment as she must start work within two weeks of admission. Her children have been able to be with her, but if she is not able to maintain in this transitional living program, she does not have a safe place to go, and the children will have to return to foster care placement until she can get settled somewhere else. Assistance with this need will allow this family to remain together and make a fresh start.

I have a client whose child is in the hospital due to a complex medical condition. Hospital policy requires a person to have an ID to visit. My client has lost his ID and currently doesn't have the funds to get a new one. Since the child has been in the hospital this father has been unable to visit. Any help that could be provided to help this father replace his ID so he can visit his child at the hospital would be greatly appreciated.

We are reaching out on behalf of a courageous mother who has recently reunified with her children after fleeing a situation of domestic violence. Despite the immense challenges she has faced, including giving birth just four weeks ago, she has shown remarkable strength and resilience. This mother has fully cooperated with the DHS and successfully completed all required services in her individual service plan. She has now secured employment and is taking the necessary steps to rebuild a safe and stable life for herself and her children. While she is on the path to independence, she is in need of a little extra support at this time. We are kindly requesting charitable assistance to help cover one month of rent, which would allow her the stability she needs to focus on her new job and caring for her children during this critical transition period. Any support would make a meaningful difference in her journey toward a brighter and more secure future. Thank you for your consideration and compassion.

This single mother has recently been housed after having to relocate due to domestic violence. Once housed, this mom faced significant challenges, specifically with her vehicle. Due to the vehicle not working, she had to miss work and ultimately had to seek a different form of employment. During this transition, she fell behind on rent and is now facing eviction at the end of the month. Any assistance to help this single mom and her young child stay housed is greatly appreciated!

Due to unexpected circumstances, this newly married couple and family of 3 needed to find a place to live. With deposits and moving fees, it leaves them still in need of a refrigerator, washer, and dryer. Please consider helping get this family on their feet so they can care for their precious 2-year-old daughter the best way possible.

Mother is in need of assistance to pay rent. She is actively seeking employment while facing a challenging financial situation. Assistance would provide her the breathing room needed to focus on her search. Mother hopes to be reunified with her son and this assistance would provide support for this reunion to occur sooner than later.

Mother is a caretaker for her husband, who is disabled due to being blind, as well as three children ages 15, 2, and 8 months old.

Mother reports that her 2-year-old is still using her infant car seat, which she has outgrown, and her 8-month-old is starting to outgrow her infant car seat. Thank you in advance.
