Why we serve

Father absence affects millions of children across the country. In fact, 17.6 million* kids—nearly 1 in 4—grow up without a biological, step, or adoptive father at home. This experience can shape a girl’s emotional, mental, and financial well-being in lasting ways.

Research* shows that children in father-absent homes are more likely to experience:

Poverty
Behavioral or emotional challenges
Teen pregnancy
Abuse or neglect
Drug or alcohol use
Challenges with school engagement or dropping out
Obesity
Jail due to behaviors

These statistics don’t define a girl’s future — but they do highlight why support, guidance, and community matter. At From Fatherless to Fearless®, we walk alongside girls experiencing father absence, helping them rewrite their stories with confidence, healing, and hope.

Intentionally Serving the Community

Mission Statement

To empower and equip girls with strained or absent father relationships on their journey to healing and wholeness.

Vision Statement

To become fatherless women’s most trusted resource.

Target

We predominately serve teen girls ages 13-18 (and some young women) and their families; however, we focus on the underserved community. Whether their father has walked away, passed away, is in jail, or is emotionally unavailable living in the same house, our core is to serve fatherless girls.
