A Message From Evelyn "Evey" Nix

We thought victory over brain cancer would end the most difficult and challenging chapter of our lives, but where we expected a period, we instead found ellipses. Evey's life-saving treatment had left her with scars, both physical and emotional, and developmental delays that kept piling up by the day. It quickly became clear that we, as unqualified as we are, were the only ones in charge of finding her the right help. We were on our own for a year and a half, doing our best but feeling frustrated and completely overwhelmed, before we learned of the Little Light House. The day we toured their facility was one of our happiest days in recent memory. The heavens opened, a choir sang, and a big neon arrow flashed to show us that this is where we're meant to be. Evey is part of LLH's Early Intervention program, (weekly classes for families on the waiting list). She gets help from teachers and therapists, socializes with her new friends, and is comfortable in a place where she's loved and accepted, exactly as she is. We get our questions answered, direction and resources that can help Evey thrive, and are comfortable in a place where we're loved and accepted, exactly as we are. And it is all completely FREE thanks to donations from generous and kindhearted people like you. If you feel so moved, please help us raise money for the Little Light House so they can continue being the miracle that families like us are searching for.

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.
