A Message From Mason Shults

Hello Everybody! I go to school at The Little Light House…did you know that? I bet you did. My parents like to tell everyone about my school, but now it’s my turn to tell you all the great things about The Little Light House. Did you know that it is a school for kids with special needs, just like me? We have special teachers and therapists that help us learn. My first 2 years at LLH have been amazing. I can now spell my name, count to 10+ and have improved so much in my motor and communication skills. My parents say I love to talk all the time now and even like to express my opinion about everything 😊. My school also has the best friends there and I love going to see them every day! I wish everyone could go to a school like mine. It costs a lot of money to get all the things we need at our school. Some schools make the moms and dads pay for school…but not mine! I get to go there for free! My school doesn’t get any money from the government or United Way either. All the money we get comes from individual and corporate donors. Some grown-ups think it’s so amazing that all the money comes from private donations. I think they are right and am so thankful for people just like you! To celebrate all the things we have learned and accomplished, we get to have a fun event called Mini-Laps. At Mini-Laps, my friends and I get to dress up and go around the track at our school. Some of us will run, walk, or ride bikes on the track and some of my friends get to ride in their wheelchairs or be in a wagon. It is so much fun and this year our theme is Hometown Heroes. We have so many heroes in our community, but you are also a hero to me for all of your support for my school. I hope you can come to this fun event on October 10th! It costs $30,000 each year for services for one student at the Little Light House. My parents tell me that is a lot of money and I am too little for a job. So to help, I am looking for sponsors for Mini Laps. If you would like to donate there are several ways listed below. Because my school is a 501(c)(3) organization, your contribution is also tax deductible…whatever that means! Thank you very much for supporting my school! Mason Shults and Family Ways to Give: - You can donate via credit card here on my Fundraising Page - You can give cash to one of my parents - You can make a check out to The Little Light House and give to my parents or mail directly to the Little Light House at 5120 E 36th Street Tulsa, OK 74135 with a memo of Mini Laps/Mason Shults - You can be set up on a simple giving plan where a small amount can be deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit card on a monthly basis. For this option please reach out to Melinda Shults at melinda.shults@hotmail.com or 918-960-1623. - You can become a corporate sponsor. For corporate sponsorship details please reach out to Melinda Shults at melinda.shults@hotmail.com or 918-960-1623. - You can donate through the Opportunity Scholarship fund and receive a Tax credit for your donation.

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
