Welcome to Elijah Ramirez's Little Light House Mini Laps Page!
Friends,
Elijah Ramirez will soon take to the track for his second mini lap. David, big sister Sophia and I will be the proudest of the crowd cheering him on.
Today, we write with a fervent request, please support Elijah’s “lap” to ensure a bright future for The Little Light House and the 64 extraordinary chidren receiving expert care there. On September 25, Elijah will take to the track and make his lap proudly and confidently.
Mini Laps is an important fundraiser for The Little Light House, which provides Elijah’s education tuition-free. The Little Light House is staffed with licensed therapists in all specialties and specially-trained teachers in each classroom. Eli is in the Orange Class where he learns with eight other extraordinary kids. The teachers and classroom associates are remarkable individuals who have such compassion and care for each child. The therapy Elijah receives is developed through strategy sessions involving all of the disciplines. Honestly, Eli couldn’t receive a better education any where else.
This year, Eli has gone beyond the basics of learning to go from laying to sitting and how to get around on his own. This year, Eli learned his colors...it’s hard to stump him. Eli has learned to share with his friends and how to play with them. He’s learned to pretend (don’t try to wipe Eli’s nose without giving Clifford the dog’s nose a wipe too). He’s embraced new experiences and opened his mind to new adventures. He loves going to school!
The Little Light House receives no government funding and no United Way support. The Little Light House is 100% supported through the generous financial gifts from caring individuals like you.
This year, they will invest $17,000 in our sweet Eli. Will you help us give back?
I know many deserving charities ask for your support, but this year, will you join us in supporting a Christian school specially designed for extraordinary kids? Kids who didn’t ask to be extraordinary. Kids who need a little more attention – a little more help to reach their very best potential. Kids who will succeed thanks to The Little Light House.
With gratitude and love,
Melissa, David, Sophia and Elijah
