OKLAHOMA CITY – This time of year can bring stressful times for children who endure traumatic experiences.
As we approach the end of the year and with the holidays of celebration occurring, OICA is once again assisting Oklahoma Human Services (OHS) with their Holiday Hope program to provide support for foster youth in the state. Our goal, which was requested of us by OHS, is to raise $30,000 – enough to provide $150 gift cards to 200 teens in foster care.
As of Monday, December 15, we have only raised about one-fourth of the amount needed to complete this mission. While this will certainly help those young people who will receive a card, I hate that we have not achieved our goal and might not reach it before the deadline next week. If you would like to help with this mission, please consider donating any amount to help us fulfil our mission…
