A Message From Gabriella Mungai

Hi friends, it's that time of year once again! Mini laps is around the corner. Mini laps is a special fundraiser to help sponsor me at The Little light house. My school is special because The Little light house caters only to kids with special needs like me. But the best part is that I get to attend tuition free. This is because they solely rely on donations. Most of these donations come from well wishers, businesses and families like yours and mine. As most of you know, I live with Gastroparesis, which in my case means that my tummy is partially paralysed and does not digest and move food as well and fast as it should. The 1 year I have attended Little Light House has been super awesome. I have been able to learn, read, sing, and dance! I have also been the recipient of a lot of physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy which has helped tremendously towards not only helping me be more independent but also improve in my condition. Did I mention I started at 4 bags of tube feeds and now I am only getting 2 and a half bags tube feeds and the rest by mouth? This is what The Little Light House has helped me achieve. As I get ready to go for my second year, in preparation for big kids school, I come to you and ask for your support of the School on my behalf. It costs them thirty two thousand dollars a year to keep me there. However I have been given a goal of six thousand dollars or more and I know with your help I can do it! It is because of gracious donors like you I get to attend for free. I thank each and everyone who has made this experience possible. And by the way guys, if you are donating as a business, ask me about how you can get Oklahoma tax credit for your donation. I can also hook you up with a way to enroll for monthly donations through The Crew if that's easier for your wallet! I thank you and love y'all! Gabriella.

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
