A Message From Kodi Whitmer

I can't even believe I am typing this, but this is Kodi's last year before graduating from the most magical place on earth, the Little Light House. What does this mean? This is the last time she will be participating in Mini Laps as a student! Mini Laps is one of the largest fundraisers we, as parents/students, do for LLH and we are ECSTATIC and beyond motivated to raise more money than we have the last two years! Why should you donate to Kodis' fundraiser? Kodi receives much of the therapies she needs throughout the school day at the Little Light House. Because of your donations, these therapies do not cost us out of pocket. If we were to have to pay for these services, it would cost around $32,000 each year she attends school. LUCKILY, because of generous citizens like yourselves, these services are fully funded. This is all possible as a result of your donations. The Little Light House receives zero government funding, therefore they are reliant solely on donations from our supporters. PLEASE consider donating to the Little Light House through Kodi's donation page. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the dreams of these precious kids come true! Every little bit helps!

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
