A Message From Henry Hames

Hi, I'm Henry and I am raising money for my school- the Little Light House! My mommy has worked here for several years, and this will be my second year in a classroom! The best part of this school is that it is a completely tuition-free place for children with special needs to come and receive educational and therapeutic services. If my friends had to pay to come here it would cost over $30,000!! I am in class with 11 awesome friends who all use different ways to communicate, move, and live! This will be my very first time to fund-raise and I have a HUGE goal of $6,000 to raise! My friends have special education teachers, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, vision therapists, and MORE all working together to make sure we can all experience everything! We have our own Bible-based curriculum that uses Bible stories to allow my friends and me to learn about God's love for all of us! I am part of the SKIP program- which is a reverse inclusion program that allows me to make all of these amazing friends and cheer them on every day! This will be my first year to walk at Mini Laps! I get to take a lap and be celebrated for my milestones, but more importantly, so do all of my friends!! Some of us will walk or run, or ride bikes or scooters. Some friends will be in floats they make out of their wheelchairs. It will be the best day ever! My school is a 501(c)(3) so your donation is tax deductible. Thank you so much for supporting me and all my new friends!

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.
