A courageous mother of three teenagers recently left a domestic violence situation and is working hard to rebuild a safe and stable home for her family. She has taken the brave step to start over, but currently, she lacks the resources to secure her living space properly.

To help ensure the physical and emotional safety of her and her children, she is in urgent need of three (3) door locks for their current residence. These locks will provide much-needed security and peace of mind as they begin this new chapter in their lives.

This practical support will be a powerful reminder that they are not alone and that their community stands with them.

Need: 3 interior/exterior door locks (deadbolts or knob sets with locks, depending on door type)

Optional: assistance with installation if the family needs help

Thank you for considering this request and supporting a family in a vulnerable time of transition and healing.

Please consider supporting this kinship foster placement. A single foster mom is going back to work after taking extended leave to be with the eight week old baby in her care. This foster mom has gone above and beyond to provide care for baby they have formed a strong bond. Foster mom is returning to work and is needing support to cover the registration fee for the baby's daycare. Thank you for helping this family in your community!

Two sweet brothers who are five and six have recently been placed into state custody. Like most active boys, they have endless energy and love to run around, rough house and climb everything. They love playing sports and are always on the go at top speed. Also like most little boys these two are quickly outgrowing their clothes and need bigger sizes. Foster mom reports they need shirts, pants, underwear and shoes, as they did not come with very many clothes. The boys are in sizes five and six and shoe sizes 11/12 and 12/1. By fulfilling this request, you will help keep the boys comfortable as they play and grow and help reduce some financial stress for the Foster Mom. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration and commitment to support your local community.

9-month-old child is placed in a non-relative kinship placement. Foster mother is the only financial support for the child other than receiving foster care payments. Foster mother and agency would appreciate help paying the family's gas bill through Oklahoma Natural Gas, as the family's budget is slim. Foster mother is going to be adopting the child later this year and this would help to preserve the placement and help foster mother allocate funds towards other needs. Thank you for your assistance, it is much appreciated!

I’m reaching out with an urgent request to support a mother who is working hard to rebuild her life. After successfully getting back on her feet and maintaining sobriety, she recently encountered a major setback—she lost her job unexpectedly. She is actively seeking new employment and applying to several opportunities, but her rent for her sober living program is due this Friday, June 13th, and she is currently unable to cover the cost. Without assistance, she risks losing the stable and supportive housing that has been a critical part of her recovery journey. We are asking for any financial support you may be able to provide to help her cover this rent payment and stay on the path she’s worked so hard to stay on.

This is a request for small dining room set for a family in trial reunification. The children are ages 5,3, & 2 and they have been in trial reunification with their mother and grandfather for just over a month. The home is fully furnished, with the exception of a kitchen table. The family advised they are limited on resources right now (after recently moving into this house and furnishing all the rooms) that a kitchen table has been the last priority for them. We are looking for a basic new or gently used dining room met. The breakfast nook is not very large, so a small table (circular or rectangular) with 4 chairs will fit the space nicely. We appreciate you considering this request. We'd like the family to have a designated space where they can share meals. We are also looking for a gently used highchair for the 2-year-old. God Bless!

A hardworking father has made lots of progress toward reunifying with his three children, which are currently in his care and they are so close to being officially reunified with the case successfully closed. The father unfortunately lost his employment was able to quickly find new employment but is in need of some tools to begin his new opportunity. The father needs a screw gun, hammer, speed square, torpedo level, box knife, and tape measure. This parent has overcome numerous barriers and has almost reached the point of full self sufficiency for his family. Please help him overcome this new barrier with helping him to obtain some tools for his new job. The three children have also begun child care now that school is out, and there are activities at the child care center that require an extra fee of $20 per child to participate in activities at their child care.
