IMPACTING GENERATIONS

We’re all brought up to be tough and don’t show emotion, don’t cry. But somebody’s going through the same thing you’re going through. Dads Making a Difference taught me how to mend relationships so all of mine are good right now. And I have the tools to keep it that way. That’s not even what I went for– I went to get child support off my back. Now I’m a dad making a difference.
