A Message From Sasha Nemchenko

This is Sasha's second year at the Little Lighthouse. Help us make it a year to remember! Alexander “Sasha” Nemchenko was born with Trisomy 21, a genetic disorder commonly known as Down’s Syndrome (characterized by having an extra copy of chromosome 21). Despite having many challenges in his life, Sasha continues, by the grace of God, to evolve in multiple aspects of his development, facing life head-on every single day. The Little Lighthouse has been instrumental in helping Sasha reach his full potential. From Early Intervention to full-time therapy, Sasha has received endless support in developing his skills and advancing to further milestones. Despite his differences, LLH accepts Sasha for who he is and loves him for it, challenging him to continue to exceed expectations and helping him feel at home in their facility and classrooms. Through the endless generosity of various sponsors and the community as a whole, Little Lighthouse is able to provide all services completely for free for ALL participating families; would this not have been the case, the cost of tuition would equal around $38,000 per child, per year, much too high for many families to be able to afford. With full humility, we ask for your consideration and support. If you are able and feel called to do so, please join our cause by donating today. To reach our goal would be an incredible achievement: together, we can help Sasha, along with every other child attending LLH, to continue to receive these wonderful services COMPLETELY free of charge. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our cause! “Strong for Sasha!”

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.
