John 3:16 Mission Family Youth Center

We are reaching out with heartfelt hope on behalf of one of our clients—a dedicated mother who is working diligently toward reunification with her child. As part of this process, she is required to undergo a parent capacity evaluation. Unfortunately, the cost of this evaluation must be covered by the client, and she lives on a fixed income. This evaluation is a critical step toward rebuilding his family and creating a stable, supportive environment for the child. Your support could make a meaningful difference in the family's journey—bringing them one step closer to healing and reunification. We kindly ask for your help in covering the cost of this essential service. Your compassion and generosity can provide hope where it’s needed most. Thank you for considering this request and for being part of a community that uplifts and empowers families.

Please help a mom who is working hard to get back on her feet with a bus pass. She uses the bus to get to job interviews and to attend classes needed for her court case. She is committed and working hard to getting her kids back in her home. We appreciate the support of the community.

I have a mom who is currently working hard to get her child back. She struggles with a substance abuse problem, and knew she needed more help than she could on her own. So she checked herself into an inpatient facility to get her life back on track. She has done amazing since being in, and is really on the right path to get her child back to her. However, she will lose her apartment if the utility bill is not paid, so she is needing to get this paid so she will have a place to live once she lives the inpatient facility. Any assistance with paying this bill would be greatly appreciated by the this mom.

This is a two part transportation request. We are looking for help getting a car repair completed or two bus passes. The parents have been told it is a gas pedal sensor. They say when they step on the gas pedal the engine does not rev up. If you are or know an auto mechanic that can help fix this issue, they would be very grateful for the help. They have been walking and/or asking friends for help getting to appointments. They are not able to get to job interviews that are farther away which has made it difficult for them to get the funds together to get the issue fixed. They do not have a quote for how much this repair would cost. They are also asking for a pair of bus passes to help them to get to appointments and interviews until they can get their car issues fixed.

I have a parent looking for help to pay a water bill. They are currently working a part time job and looking for another part time or full-time job to be able to get caught up on financial responsibilities. They are asking for help to pay any part of the $172.33 amount due. I have a copy of the bill and can provide details to assist in helping if anyone is able. She would be very appreciative of any help that can be provided. Thank you.

This family consists of a mother and her teenaged daughter. The family is in need of an air conditioning unit. Both mother and daughter suffer from a degenerative disease, which makes it difficult to work and provide income. The family is dealing with a recent loss of a family member, and they do not have any support from friends or relatives in Oklahoma. The temperature in the home can reach over 90 degrees in the Oklahoma summer heat, which becomes unbearable. A window A/C unit would provide this family with much needed relief.

The family is in need of some help with Gas this month. Dad is currently trying to get a job and has applied to multiple places and hopes to secure a job soon. The family is in need of gas to make it to appointments for their newborn, for job interviews, and to get formula and diapers when for their child. Any amount that can be provided for this family would be greatly appreciated!

Bio Mother does not work and has no transportation during the day while Bio dad is at work. Helping bio mom obtain a bus pass will help her get to services during the day.

We are seeking rent assistance for a foster grandmother who has taken in her granddaughter and may soon include her grandson. Due to increased expenses and limited income from Social Security, she has fallen behind on rent and is facing eviction next week. Any support to help her maintain stable housing for the children would be greatly appreciated.

Mom is currently homeless and living at the Tulsa Day Center, she needs a bus pass to look for work around town and get to her family time with her son. She is also requesting money to get her phone turned back on for the month, that is where her job links are attached. Thank you!

I have a teenage girl who is in need of a dresser. She would like to be able to organize her clothing and things.

I am working with a biological family of two that are currently in trial reunification. Mom is employed part time to full time and is the head of household in this single income family. Mom attempted to seek assistance for clothing and school supplies through the Tulsa Public Schools Homeless program, but because the family is in trial reunification, they do not qualify. Mom is requesting assistance in getting her daughter school ready for the 2025-2026 school year.
