[Counselors] assistance for family

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Hi LaVonne. We have a family of 6 living with their elderly grandmother.
Their bio-mother was murdered. Grandmother's health is poor & she can no
longer handle her grandchildren. Naturally, he doesn't want the kids to be
split up. I spoke with Pepper's Ranch in Logan County. They take children
who are currently in DHS custody or foster kids. They couldn't help us
because our grandmother had adopted her grandchildren. Pepper's Ranch is
currently full, but I'd give them a call to see if you could get on their
list. I was given the name of a group called Safe Families in OKC. SF wraps
around families that have no place to turn. They have a website. Just
google "Safe Families" in OKC. There's a online form to fill out and a
number to call. My heart goes out to your family & I'll put them in my
prayers. Michele
