Three Precious Miracles has turned 10! Founded on Aug. 14, 2014, we are celebrating a decade of supporting Native youth.
How It Started
Founder, Elisia Manuel, and her husband, Tecumseh, experienced first-hand the limited resources available to families in Native communities. This sparked the start of Three Precious Miracles, named after their three precious miracles their kids: Tecumseh, Telisia, and Micah. The goal was simple … provide a basic care package to help Native children who are displaced in their new environment.
How It’s Going
With the support of volunteers, partners, and donations, our organization has grown to include programming, trainings, resources, cultural events, and more. Three Precious Miracles operates year-round to support Native youth and their families, focusing on promoting and honoring cultural heritage.
In recent years, we have expanded into new areas, like:
- Enrichment programming to give Native youth a path forward as they enter adulthood through our car detailing workshop
- 3D Native models that are inspired by the tribes of Arizona and bring history to life through interactive play and learning
- Hosting a Social Powwow to honor the importance of families
What’s Next for Us
We aim to continue to add cultural programming and activities to keep culture connected. We can’t do this without the support of volunteers, partners, and donations.
To help secure a bright future for Three Precious Miracles, please consider donating to our $10 for 10 Years campaign. We have a goal of raising $10,000 in 30 days to help those we serve.
How We’re Celebrating
It’s our anniversary and we’re ready to celebrate! Over the next month, Three Precious Miracles plans to give back and giveaway to recognize those who support us. Follow us on Facebook and visit our anniversary page to learn more.
