From Temporary Joy to Permanent Hope
Give today to support the “FairShare House”
After a remarkable two years of bringing joy to our neighbors experiencing homelessness at the Tulsa State Fair through FairShare, Lyla is inspired to create a lasting impact.
Her new vision is to provide permanent housing by raising $75,000 to sponsor the "FairShare House" in City Lights Village, offering a dignified home that will serve our neighbors for generations to come while being a place of refuge and joy.
From Temporary Joy to Permanent Hope
FairShare was founded in 2023 by 8-year-old Lyla and her mother, Sam, with the mission to bridge the gap of fun and exciting opportunities for our friends experiencing homelessness. In its first year, Lyla raised $1,500 and brought 7 friends experiencing homelessness to the fair. Through their partnership with the City Lights Foundation, they gifted 14 additional friends with a trip to experience the joy of the Tulsa State Fair and raised more than $5,000.
Building on this success, Lyla aims to address the root cause of homelessness by contributing to the development of City Lights Village—a 23-acre master-planned community dedicated to empowering vulnerable Tulsans with affordable, permanent housing and comprehensive supportive services. Lyla’s “FairShare House” will not only meet the basic need of housing, but will provide dignity, community and friendship- which we believe are some of the necessary ingredients to move from surviving to thriving.
A Forever Gift:

By giving towards the "FairShare House", you can join Lyla in transforming lives beyond temporary moments of happiness.
