A Message From Clarey Sharum

Hello, and welcome to my fundraising page! This is my fifth year working and raising money for my favorite place, the Little Light House! If you don't already know, I am a speech-language pathologist at the Little Light House, which is a Christian developmental center in Tulsa for children with disabilities. I work with some of the most beautiful and strongest children you will ever meet, and they are all perfect gifts from God. Little Light House operates solely through private funding and each kiddo attends tuition free. This saves our families an estimated $34,000 annually in education and therapy costs. Between doctor visits, procedures, therapy visits and more, our families are already faced with many financial obligations, and providing school at no cost is a tremendous help our families. I am so appreciative of our community that supports me and God’s most special children. On September 10th, I will be participating in Miles for Milestones, a 5k to celebrate each milestone our children achieve! Whether it’s contributing through donations, joining me at this event or simply praying for our organization, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Your generosity is a blessing to myself and the LLH! If you have questions or would like more information, please message me or visit our website at www.littlelighthouse.org!

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
