[Counselors] assistance for family

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We have a family who needs assistance with everything.  They have no vehicle and are on an extremely tight budget.  The grandmother is raising 3 of her grandchildren, one who is a special needs child.  The granddaughter is on a ventilator.  The grandmother is unable to read and write.  Our program is unable to assist them because the grandmother does not have birth certificates or the Certificates of Degrees of Indian Blood for each child.  Federal guidelines require us to have these for each child we assist. We have personally made donations but we can only do so much.  I am wondering in anyone knows of any programs which would help them get the children's birth certificates, assist them in getting additional help for the special needs child and provide transportation to and from the doctors and other places.  This family is located here in the Oklahoma City area.  I'd appreciate any word of any  resources available.
