A Message From Israel Poe

We are the Poe Posse! Thank you for supporting our amazing Israel Poe as he starts his journey at the Little Lighthouse! We began this adventure almost three years ago when we discovered Israel was sick and had to be delivered emergency C-section. Little did we know at the time that his pathway to healing would be so long and with so many hurdles to overcome. He was given a 5% chance of survival and diagnosed with Fetal Hydrops and Down Syndrome. Israel beat the odds and after 92 days in the NICU he has gone on to overcome and bring so much joy to our family and this world! Attending the LLH has been a dream for our family for years now and we are so grateful to have the support and love of so many people to help make this goal a reality! Israel's name means "God always has the last say and He always keeps his promises", so we believe He will do more than we ask for think for Israel. Thank you for partnering with us! The Poe's Steven, Tiffany, Macpherson, Zale, Lilly, Riley, Sophia and Israel

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.
