A Message From AVYAKTA POCHAMPALLY

The journey of a lifetime starts with a small step. For Avy, it was taking the first breath on her own. She is a born fighter, always ready to surprise us. Avy is an enthusiastic learner and ever so brave to try the most innovative Assistive Technology. Over the last school year, she made tremendous progress at an incredible school, the Little Light House(LLH). Every day she is welcomed with smiles and flying kisses. Not a single day goes by without exploring new textures, sounds, tastes, technologies, and making new friends. It is impressive to see all the little things Avy has accomplished in this one year. She is making friends, playing games using eye gaze assistive technology, trying a power chair, and so much more. Take a peep into her year at LLH in the video below! LLH is a haven for several other families like ours. With a waiting period of over two years, it is a blessing for every child and family that enters their doors. They provide educational and therapeutic services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, and more. If we were to pay for Avy's education, it would cost us $32,000 per year, and Little light House offers this for FREE. They do not receive any United Way or other government funds. They entirely run on donations from the community and kind contributors like you. Mini-laps is one such fundraising opportunity and a fantastic time for little ones to dress up and take a mini lap around a track to celebrate the milestones they have accomplished. We would love for you to participate in Avy's Mini Laps campaign by donating any amount. No amount is small! Every single donation makes a difference. If you want to make a difference today, help support our fundraising for Little Light House through this event. Please click the link below to make a tax-deductible donation. Thank you with all our hearts; it means a lot to us! - Pochampally Family

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.
