Ok Foster Wishes 2013
November 22nd - December 15th
Thank you all so much for your efforts to support and spread the word about the need for Oklahoma's foster children this year!
Please click on the "SHARE YOUR CHRISTMAS STORY" to help us spread the awareness of the need for the community to engage in the foster crisis in Oklahoma!
We have closed the online request option for Christmas 2013.
As you may already know, on average 13 children are brought into care each day in Oklahoma. We will continue to accept donations online at http://okchristmaswishes.weebly.com/give.html
We will be shopping with donations until Christmas Eve! Watch us on twitter, the OKFW blog & facebook to be in on the fun!
Almost 11,000 children will spend Christmas in foster care in Oklahoma this year. Christmas Wishes is a program designed to not only make the life of these children a little brighter at this special time of year, but also, and most importantly bring awareness to this growing issue.
Your kindness and contribution can bring hope to the many caregivers in this child’s life…
· The case worker, who will feel encouraged for having a positive reason to visit with the child or family caring for the child.
· The foster parents, who will feel supported by their community and know they are not doing this alone.
· The child, who will receive your gift and know that, although this may be the toughest Christmas they are facing, someone cares for them!
We partner with all aspects of the community (individuals, churches, businesses and other non-profits) and have a simple system in place to help make sure that no child in foster care in Oklahoma is without a gift at Christmas.
