A Message From Luca Grimaux

Nobody expects to have a child who has special needs. That was not part of our plan. Ever since we received a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome in 2015, we have learned that God has bigger plans. Being Luca’s parents has been our best, most unexpected blessing. At 20 weeks pregnant we took a tour of the Little Lighthouse and added Luca to the waiting list. Nearly three years later we received the call that Luca would begin his first year. The Little Lighthouse has blessed and enriched our lives and we are thrilled for Luca to attend his second year, beginning in August 2019. The Little Lighthouse has been serving children with special needs since 1972. The highly credentialed teachers and therapists come to work everyday to love and teach these children. The quality of care that is received is estimated to cost $32,000 annually but we send Luca there TUITION-FREE. The Little Lighthouse does not charge tuition to families, they do not receive any funding from the government or United Way; they have kept their doors open, and even expanded, thanks to generous donations. Our family is so excited to see what is in store for our boy, this year, at the Little Lighthouse. We cannot wait to see new milestones met, new friendships made, and continued growth for our son and his amazing school. We are grateful for your role in our journey and thank you for your support. We will take part in several fundraising efforts leading up to October 12, 2019, when Luca will participate in the annual Mini-Laps. Last year Luca took his lap with the assistance of his walker. We are so proud that, this year, Luca will walk his lap without equipment. We hope you will be there to cheer him on, and consider clicking the donate button below. Thank you!

In Support of Little Light House

Little Light House is a Christian Developmental Center for Children with Special Needs from birth to 6 years old. Tulsa’s Little Light House is internationally recognized as providing some of the most individualized special education and therapeutic early intervention services in the world. A trans-disciplinary team approach maximizes a comprehensive knowledge from professionals who work collaboratively to design prescriptive programs for each child and assist every child in reaching their maximum potential. Through a variety of programs and schedules, these services are carried out by highly credentialed teachers, therapists, and specialists who represent decades of pediatric experience. Early Intervention classes are provided as a part-time program where caregivers attend and learn along with their child for two-hour classes once a week.

Little Light House is tuition-free for families and does not receive government or United Way funding. Support comes from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. In addition, LLH hosts four annual fundraisers each year bringing in about 40% of the $4.2 million dollar operating cost that allows our staff of over 90 members to provide services to over 300 children and families, support nearly a thousand volunteers, and train over 1,000 college and career students each year.

Little Light House believes that all children are a gift from God with the potential to achieve specific milestones to advance their quality of life. We strive for excellence by utilizing a Bible-based curriculum in a fun and loving atmosphere. We believe in an individualized, trans-disciplinary and God-centered approach to education-an approach that joins parents, professionals, and the Holy Spirit as partners in order to nurture the spirit, mind, and body of the children and their families. Our commitment incorporates being called to work/volunteer with children with special needs. Little Light House encourages a positive outlook on the future, based on trust in a loving heavenly Father.
