A Message From Debora Schaberg

Thank YOU for visiting to learn more about my LOVE for the Little Light House! It was love at first sight! Six years ago I discovered the amazing work The Little Light House does for kids with special needs, from birth to age six! From the first time I visited the school I knew I had to be part of it, there was a reason why I crossed paths with this school. Their mission is to glorify God by improving the quality of life for children with special needs, their families and their communities. The LLH has been a part of Tulsa since October 3, 1972. What began with one teacher, five students, and five volunteers has grown into a nationally recognized developmental center for children with special needs. Currently, they have over 60 staff members serving 152 students, along with many volunteers. Currently, they still have 200 kids on the “Waiting List”. The LLH does not charge tuition and only receives money from private sources. Conditions which typically create challenges are Down syndrome, Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and sensory deprivations such as blindness. The LLH does not and has never discriminated with regard to religion, race, color or creed. Please join me in helping me raise funds as I participate in the 41th annual "Laps for Little Ones" on September 14th. This will be my six year to run in Laps for Little Ones, one of their four major fundraisers for the year. This wonderful school has a special place in our hearts and hope you will sponsor me again this year so I can exceed my fundraising goal once again. If you are able and willing to donate, any amount is appreciated and will be put to good use. That much I can promise. I have never seen an organization be such good stewards of the funds that is given to them. Remember... each of the 152 children attend LLH for FREE! Yes, FREE!!! The services that help these children amounts to about $32,000 per child per year! Thank you in advance for your contribution to this amazing school. With gratitude, Randy, Debora & Sofia Schaberg www.littlelighthouse.org/ "Let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven" -Matthew 5:16 The Little Light House is a 501(C)(3) organization which means any contribution is tax deductible. Donations can be given to me, mailed to the Little Light House or made on this page. Checks should be made out to Little Light House with "Lauren Gebhard Laps" on the memo line.

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.
