IF YOU COULD HELP SOMEONE BREAK GENERATIONAL CYCLES, WOULD YOU?

We all have a story. We all have a past. At First Things First, we accept and process the past so that we can build a stronger future. Our goal is to walk side by side with individuals, couples, and families to help break generational cycles. But we cannot accomplish this without your support.

This 13-week program is to help dads break the cycle of relational and financial poverty. This program is an educational and mentoring experience for fathers who are behind on child support (and facing jail time for non-payment) or seeking to spend more time with their non-custodial child.

YOUR GIFT WILL…

COVER THE COST FOR A DAD TO ATTEND DMD

and allow us to serve more men by providing additional program dates, locations and mentors to guide them on their journey.

HELP A DAD

This 5-week program assists at-risk* couples** as they develop healthy relationship skills, build community, strengthen their relationship, and overcome common barriers to relationship stability. Relationship stability will decrease the risk of generational financial and relational poverty for the participants and their children.

YOUR GIFT WILL…

COVER THE COST FOR A COUPLE TO ATTEND RISE

and allow us to continue to develop this program as we seek to serve more couples and families across Hamilton County.

HELP A COUPLE

Since we do not currently have any co-parenting programs, our goal is for 10 co-parenting individuals to complete this program by March 2023.

YOUR GIFT WILL…

LET US START A CO-PARENTING PROGRAM OFF STRONG

by allowing us to purchase materials, develop curriculum and host several focus groups in order to best serve parents.

HELP A FAMILY

*They have a household income of $30k or less; however we will not turn anyone away from attending the program.

**Participants may be engaged, married or living together to attend this program.
