A Message From Lucy Doerner

Hello! Welcome to my 2019 Mini-Laps fundraising page! This is my 2nd, and final year, at The Little Light House. I am looking forward to being in Orange class and learning so much. Let me tell you a little bit about my very special school. The Little Light House is a tuition free Christian school for children with special needs, from birth to 6 years old. That's right, tuition FREE! If my parents were to pay for me to attend LLH it would cost an average of $32,000 per year. LLH does not receive any funding from United Way or the government. It is ran on donations from individuals and corporate donors, just like you. I have the opportunity to receive speech, physical therapy and occupational therapy everyday. Every day I learn about how much God loves me and I am celebrated for my uniqueness. What an amazing opportunity!! On October 12th I will be participating in Mini Laps. Mini laps is a fundraiser where my friends and I raise money to support our school. This is a opportunity for all of my friends to make a lap around the track at our school and celebrate our individual accomplishments. Some will walk or run, some will ride in wagons or wheelchairs. It is so much fun! Please consider making a tax deductible donation to support my school and friends. Any amount helps! Without people like you Little Light House would not be able to provide amazing services to so many children. Here are ways to give today: - You can make a donation via credit card here on my Fundraising Page - You can make a check out to The Little Light House and mail directly to the Little Light House at 5120 E 36th Street Tulsa, OK 74135.

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.
