A Message From Maggie Gebhard

Hi guys! It's me, Maggie! I know you already know this (because my Mom is always talking about it and posting pictures and stories) but I get to go to school at the best school in the world called the Little Light House. LLH is a Christian Developmental Center for children with special needs. I have so many friends who get to go here for FREE because of donations from people like YOU! Did you know it would cost about $30,000 for ONE of my friends to go to LLH for ONE year because of all of the teaching, therapy and services they receive? My Mom says that's a lot of money and I believe her! I thank you in advance for supporting me and my friends and donating in honor or because of you love our family. If you have helped us reach our lofty goal before, we thank you for your continuous donations and support. If this is your first time to donate, I am so thankful for stepping out and believing in what LLH is doing to accomplish our mission and to "improve the quality of lives for children with special needs, their families and their community". Little Light House is a special place for special kiddos and families and we will continue to grow and serve because of each and every dollar that you trust us with. We love and thank you with all of our hearts. Now, let's DO THIS!

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.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS
