Building a Foundation

Building a Foundation.jpg

MIRACLE has identified four essential pillars surrounding children’s lives: parents, educators, healthcare, and community members. These pillars are designed to create a safe environment for children to receive education, support, and protection when freely expressing themselves about emotional, mental, or physical illnesses.

The collaboration and consistency within these pillars play a significant role in establishing a solid foundation for children. Allowing children to experience a life filled with character building, clear communication, respect, and transparency will build integrity, value, and trust as they mature into young adults.

 
 

 

 

Why MIRACLE?

Research data reveals the U.S. population of children and students affected by medical illnesses, conditions, and circumstances. Collaboratively, by bringing awareness, communication, and education, we can change how children behave and react to those living with life challenges. Ultimately, children dealing with life challenges will learn to accept themselves and handle negative behaviors with confidence and empowering decisions.
