The Fundraising Page of Ivey Corner

Hi everybody it’s Ivey. I came into this world fighting hard to stay. And I haven’t stopped fighting since. My Mommy calls me a warrior princess because I am so strong and sweet. I have cerebral palsy and Kidney disease. I also have a little feeding button where I used to get all of my food from. I fought hard to learn how to eat and now I only use my Mic-key button for all of my medicines and to burp (I’m a dainty little lady and I can’t burp out of my mouth). I can only use my right hand and I have trouble walking. I wear orthotics on my foot and they hurt sometimes but they also help me walk better. Everyday things can be very difficult for me. But I don’t let much get me down!! I love to laugh and play and snuggle my mommy. I have been sheltered my whole life and I haven’t been able to see much of the world or play with friends. But all of that is changing. I get to go to a very special school for children with very special needs! I was on the waiting list for years and It’s finally my turn!! The Little Lighthouse will be my new school!! They have special teachers and therapists to help all the little kids like me. My Mommy is so excited!! I will finally get to have friends and learn fun new things in a safe place!! Most private schools make the parents pay tuition. But not LLH. I get to go there for free!! It costs a lot of money to get all of the things we need at my school. They don’t get any money from the government or United way. All of the money we receive comes from individuals or corporate donors. Since I’m too little to get a job I have a way to raise money for my school so little kids like me can keep going here. My school has a “Mini-Laps” race that I can do. I get to go around the track at LLH one time. Some kids go around the track in wheelchairs or scooters. Some get to ride in wagons. It will be so much fun!! I hope you can come watch me on October 12th. I need people to sponsor me when I make my lap so I can help my school. If you would like to make a donation, you can give a check to my Mom (made our to TLLH) before October 12th. You can also send it in the mail to The Little Lighthouse at 5120 E. 36th St. Tulsa, Ok. 74135 or make a donation here on my webpage! Make sure you tell them my name, Ivey Corner, so they will know that you are sponsoring me. Because my school is a 501(C)(3) organization, your contribution is tax deductible. Thank you for reading my story and helping my school!!!
