Three Precious Miracles also provides natural supports to Native American children that are undergoing past and current trauma by embracing their cultural identity while healing through trauma. We offer personalized embroidered blankets that’s designed to help Native American foster youth reclaim their identity, their culture, their pride, and their dignity. By having something that is theirs, represents their heritage, and reminds them of the culture. We have found that foster youth will feel better connected to their roots by having something tangible that represents who they are and where they came from. This amazing project supports Native American children stay connected culturally and respectfully. TPM believes that every Native American child who is displaced deserves love, a sense of belonging and cultural engagement.
