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:

  • A greater risk of poverty

  • Behavioral or emotional challenges

  • Higher likelihood of teen pregnancy

  • Increased risk of abuse or neglect

  • Higher rates of drug or alcohol use

  • More challenges with school engagement or dropping out

  • A higher chance of obesity

  • Increased involvement with the justice system

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 so they can 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.
