Hannah's Helping Hands, Inc. — Our Mission
We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization providing financial assistance to families with children battling cancer. Many families need help with the most basic needs for their families during this fight for their child’s life. Some must leave work for months and even years to care for their sick child and the financial loss can be devastating. Our goal is to help as many families being treated locally as possible. We help with basic needs such as gas & food cards, groceries, wigs, utility payments, prescriptions, medical co-payments, rent/housing as well as other expenses. Our referrals come from doctors, nurses and staff at a local children’s hospital in Tulsa as well as our local communities.

Three city officials were sworn in at the May 3rd, 2010 City Commission meet. Mayor Stan Sallee (left) had just won re-election for his final 2 year term. Sallee apparently has plans on a state-level candidacy and did not re-file for mayor in 2012. Sherri Davis (Doolin) was starting a 4 year term as Ward III commissioner. Davis resigned in January 2012 and was replaced by Larry Shafer. Dee Sink started her first 4 year term as commissioner of Ward IV in 2010.
The city lineup (until May 2012) L-R: City Clerk Angela McGinness, Commissioner Dee Sink, Commissioner Larry Shafer, City Manager Pam Polk, Mayor Stan Sallee, City Attorney Ken Underwood, Commissioner Bud York, and Commissioner Pam Porter.
Larry Shafer was appointed by the city commission to fill the vacant Ward 3 commission seat in January 2012. Larry filed (in February 2012) and was unopposed to continue in that capacity. Bud York was also unopposed to remain Ward II Commissioner for 4 more years.
