Make A Donation

We welcome your support of our ministry and believe that all gifts, large and small, make a difference in the lives of the children LSEM serves. Donations from friends like you are critical to meet the needs of the 1 in 5 children that struggle with traditional learning methods. As we celebrate 150 years of serving children with learning needs, we invite you to be a part of this Legacy of Love by making a special anniversary gift.
