A Message From Calli Fuentes

At birth Calli was diagnosed with Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and Glutaric Acidemia Type 1(a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to process certain proteins properly) and we weren't sure of what her future would look like. Since her birth, Calli has proven the doctors wrong and continues to surpass the limitations placed on her by her disorder. Calli is my definition of what happiness looks like, and she has a smile that can brighten your day. She can express emotion, communicate in her own way BUT she also has a device that can speak for her by following her eye movements. The Little Light House has played a major role in Calli's early intervention and development. They are helping her with OT, PT, Speech, Food group, classroom skills, social skills, acts of daily living, and empowering them to be independent. I know that at the Little Light House, Calli and ALL the children who attend are loved, valued, accepted and challenged daily to be the best versions of themselves. Since attending the Little Light House, Calli has gained a sense of independence, her personality had blossomed, and she has become an inspiration for those just like her and those who are not. Calli has taken her FIRST independent steps with the assistance of a Trexco robotic device, which is ONLY possible through generous donations like yours!! The Little Light House has provided us with an endless source for resources, advice, support and a sense of community that I would not be able to find anywhere else. If you feel a calling and are able to join us please do so by donating today -- together we can help Calli, and all the students that attend Little Light House continue to get these services --- TUITION FREE! Thank you for your love, support and encouragement!

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.
